Critics Consensus

Just ordinary. LXG is a great premise ruined by poor execution.

It's big, silly, and entertaining, and even its most naked franchise ambitions feel fun rather than frustrating, because they're so blatant.

Sadly, the rot sets in just over the halfway mark when the action loses its identity of fustian heroism and degenerates into another arcade video game of mundane destruction. A pity.

Enough deaths here for a more restrictive rating.

Your enjoyment of this fascinatingly flawed action-adventure fantasy will come down to how far you are prepared to go along with its original and absolutely off-the-wall premise.

17%? If you can find me a better film with that score then I'm all ears (eyes?) Having not seen the original graphic novel or comics then I can't compare obviously, but this is a big, dumb and harmless fun movie. I don't understand why everything has to be taken quite so seriously.

Not every flim is an made to be an oscar contender. Some are for pure entertainment value. As the old saying goods, we're you entertained? Yes, yes I was. It was fun, fast moving and most of all told (in my opinion) a fun story.

I watched this long back but saw something about Sean Connery and remembered he did this movie. This was an ugly horribly made movie which wasted everyone's time

Plot issues, sure. But what a cast and I love the special effects. The behind the scenes are a great lesson and look back at the process. It’s a fun popcorn movie, especially around Halloween.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was released in theatres in 2003 and stars Sean Connery and a bunch of other mostly unknown actors in an ensemble cast of literary heroes and villains. We get Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Tom Sawyer, Dorian Gray, Ishmael, a female vampire, Dr. Jekyll, and the Invisible Man. This team is brought together to sail on the famed Nautilus to stop a terrorist organization from starting a war. Naturally many of the group have issues with each other so there's conflict within the group as they fight the baddies to try and save the world. I liked the movie overall but it had a lot of issues with pacing, too many characters, and iffy CGI at times. Plus the acting wasn't that great, except for Connery who was his usual above average self. But I give the film maker's props for the attempt and as I said I liked a lot about the movie. It was a good, not great, early attempt at doing a superhero movie and is worth a watch.
