Movie Reviews of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]
Movie Review: Delightful Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a delight to watch, although nowhere near as good as expected. It features the likeness of a number of comic characters.
The DVD features two commentary tracks, one with the producers and actors, and a second with the visual effects team. It also includes a "Making Of" documentary, and number (12) of deleted scenes. A good movie despite my feeling that it could've been better.
It gets a solid recommendation.
Movie Review: Dull film, huge disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I haven't read the well regarded comic book (er, sorry, graphic novel), but this movie is terribly dull. The idea of taking well known characters from the Victorian Era's popular literature (Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Tom Sawyer, Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, The Invisible Man from the novel by H.G. Wells, Mina Harker from Dracula) and rethink them as superheroes sounds odd but interesting. And if such endeavor would make some young people read the original books, one can certainly sympathize with that. But this film is dull. The action scenes are uninspired. And one wonders if the filmmakers even read the original material: here Dorian Gray has more lives than Terminator, Verne's Captain Nemo looks more like Sandokan, Jekyll is inspired more by the incredible Hulk than by the character of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Tom Saywer is a hothead cowboy rather than Mark Twain's country boy, etc. There are fine actors here (Sean Connery, for one) but they look embarrassed here, as well as they should be. Even the retro Victorian look seems uninspired. Overall, a huge disappointment.Movie Review: Not extraordinary, but very good
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this movie! The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a very fresh twist on fantasy with a superb cast and well done action sequences. The special effects are good enough, though not the film's strong point. This is a movie to be enjoyed for its entertainment value and not to be over-analyzed based on the graphic novel or other literature. A very good movie from start to finish.Movie Review: Slightly Better Than Average Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Movie about a group of people with individual "special" powers who are assembled to save the world. It has some intersting visaual effects. The plot, though not overly interesting does keep you guessing. There are likeable characters in it. Its good entertainment. Something I would watch a time or two more.Movie Review: Great Res--Worth the Blu-Ray version
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This is the kind of BRD that makes you appreciate my 52" HD LCD. Snow scene with Sean Connery faces the old tiger is incredibly lifelike, as is the scene of him and young Sawyer skeet shooting off of the Nautilus.
Also loved scene of Hyde changing back to jekyll in the Nautilus.
