Movie Reviews of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: An Exciting Thrill Ride For Literature Fans.
Summary: 5 Stars

Academy Award winner & 7-time James Bond Sir Sean Connery stars in a thriller designed for fans of classic literature ("King Solomon's Mines,"
"Moby Dick," "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea," "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," "Dracula" and more). Crowd-pleasing dynamite fun for the whole family. Sure, the action is intense, but nothing 10 year-olds can't handle. Also, this movie might inspire the uninitiated to READ these classics of 18th-century literature. Very well-done movie. Only minor negative is that there's no commentary for the deleted scenes, explaining why they were cut from the movie. Other than that, this film is a submarine of fun (pun intended). Rated PG-13, but should have been rated PG.

Summary of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [Blu-ray]

A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, a beast...when a masked madman known as "The Fantom" threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) commands a legion of superheroes, the likes of which mankind has never seen.

Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they mush join forces to save the world. Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking, "thrill-a-minute" (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) extravaganza loaded with "eye-popping effects and amazing action!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One)

The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr. Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, an Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from Dracula), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all brought together to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. Hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals; flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. Also featuring Peta Wilson, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Richard Roxburgh, and Jason Flemyng. --Bret Fetzer
