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.

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.

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.

Rated: 3/5

The League of Extraordinary Gentleman can be summed up in one word: ordinary.

Meglio evitare, davvero. Un cast che soffre di fronte ad uno Sean Connery nemmeno in gran forma, una sceneggiatura che saprei fare meglio io condita con una trama imbarazzante e dialoghi scritti da un bambino. Inventa, ma era meglio se non lo avesse fatto.

The gentlemen may be, but the movie is not.

This is the only movie that I’ve ever walked out on, and I wasn’t the only one in the theater who had enough before the hallway part. Complete garbage

This movie is an insult. What great comics. What a bad movie. How could a director ever misunderstand source material on this level? No wonder Alan Moore takes off his name from all the adaptations. Even Watchmen. Watchmen would be a great movie if it were original. But it is not a good adaptation. V for Vendetta is ok. But just ok.

I absolutely loved it. It makes for old-school action-hero stories. Everyone speaks of the premise, how it's boring, the action is pointless, and how it's completely ordinary. I feel it's because we are so desensitized with modern movies that are all flash. I for one loved it.

It's the sort of movie what had potential but wasn't given a chance by mediocre production
