Critics Consensus

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

Polygon

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

London Evening Standard

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.

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.

Appallingly stupid and incompetently made.

LXG got great cast but there's no entertainment and the story is not satisfied there's some good moments but is very lacking action movie.

Don’t care like Sean Connery. Wasn’t his best but still better than some movie these days. There will never be another Sean Connery

VENTANA E

In no way perfect, but compared to recent blockbusters, this movie is very ambitious and unafraid to go places that no other comic books films even try. The source material is better of course, and the hate from his creator really affected the bottom line of the box office, but in a medium like film, this treatment with very intricate visuals, lots of action, crazy concepts, makes it entertaining enough to have a fun watch. Remember this movie came out before a lot of the recent comic book movies we have now, so it was a very bold move to even try it to make it. When I watched as a kid there was definitely nothing like it, maybe the execution could have been a lot better, but damn it, it was extraordinary on it's own way.

I can't think of one thing this movie does well; it just doesn't work.

Watched this weekly as a kid. Great idea putting literary heroes together like the avengers. Would love to see more of it.
