Summary: Only for fans of the actors involved....
Review: If I had known that "graphic novel=comic book" I would have passed on this movie, but at least I know for next time. Graphic novel=comic book=bad.This movie is painful to watch for anyone who has read the original literary works (or even Junior Illustrated Library editions) this is supposedly based on. There are several errors in the characters themselves (mentioned in previous reviews) that make me wonder whether ANYONE involved read the original works. As for "M", it was pretty obvious who he was from the start. As far as the special effects, gee, people complained that the SEAVIEW (from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea) was too big and spacious for a submarine, and therefore unbelievable. The NAUTILUS is HUGE! Not to mention that it too does a vertical surfacing (like the SEAVIEW) which should have caused a massive wave that would have drowned all of Europe.... The best thing about this movie is Connery, and for the reviewer who thinks Connery is too old to portray an action hero, well, it's all in the physical conditioning. Look at Jack LaLanne. The rest of the actors did a good job with what they had to work with. I hope that anyone seeing this movie is inspired to read the original authors of these characters (although to my mind, Mina Harker was not really a major character in Dracula, except towards the end). The original stories are far better than this movie.

Summary: Now, if the moviemakers had just read the comic book...
Review: After reading several scathing reviews of the film and negative commentary from fellow moviegoers like myself, I decided to throw caution to the wind and check out the movie myself. Well, my verdict is in: the movie has its high points (Peta Wilson as Mina Harker, a jaw-dropping turn-of-the-century super automobile, and an interesting turn on the Captain Nemo character plus the crew of the Nautilus). However, the overabundance of computer graphics and the rather poor dialogue can't make this adventure anymore than average. The fight scenes are too many and the stunt doubles can be too easily spotted for Connery and Naseerudin Shah ("Nemo"). The final battle between Mr. Hyde and a similar incarnation is almost laughable. Computer-generated special effects were better handled in the two "Lord of the Rings" films. If a possible franchise was in the minds of the filmmakers, then they blew it. Big budgeted "fireworks" aren't enough to entice filmgoers for a return visit. Think "Lost of Space" of several years ago! Had the moviemakers stayed closer to the spirit and wit of the graphic novel, then this picture would've been more enjoyable. In the words of Marlon Brando from "On the Waterfront", it "coulda been a contender" in the summer blockbuster sweepstakes.

Summary: LXG is a GREAT Movie!!
Review: Hi,
I just saw LXG last weekend and I really enjoyed the movie itself. So what if the concept is unbelivable, I don't go to the movies for a dose of reality. If I want reality I will watch the news! The only reason I couldn't give this movie 5 stars is because the fight scenes are very blurry and I couldn't tell what was going on during any of them!!!! And I LOVED Sean Connery and Stuart Townsend in this movie and the rest of the actors was excellent too!! I definitely will BUY this movie when it comes out on DVD and I can hardly wait to buy it/go see it again!!

Summary: Please bring your imagination!
Review: The League of Extraordinary Gentleman was as extra-ordinary as its title suggested. One doesn't have to have read the comic book to understand the "ideas" represented here. There was just this awesome pleasure I got out of being caught up in a world where people were dealing with "their" real issues using their own unique genius as a means to accept the different entities of their personality, karmic history, etc. Each character's existence was largely because of himself and how he or she had danced with ALL the gods who tested their fate. I think the negative comments stem from the filmgoer who lacks personal power, historical or literary perspective, and an active imagination. This story is for a select few who understand the mysteries of life. Perhaps Oprah(whom I do admire & respect) could help all the rest.

Summary: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Review: My name Is Emily, I am 14 so most of you will not take my word about this movie but if it makes a differance i have read the fisrt volume of the novels and i am waiting for the second one.I loved this movie and belive anyone who couldt not like this movie is illeterate and is just looking for a movie where every sets off explosions with little to plot line just men killing men. But the charicters in the movie are impossible not to love well most of them. Tom Sawyer was not in the 'comics' and i rather unhappy with the boy personaly, he dose give to the 'club' yet i tend to find him annoying apperntly not knowing when he has no chance at all. Dorian Grey, oh boy there is evil then EVIL. he too was not in the comics though did add a bit of love interest at the least. the immortal we all grew up knowing the story of has been adding along with a rather unwilling bond with Mina Harker.You have Mina Harker/Murry a rather hardheaded woman and vimpire who sturggles with the somewhat sexist Quatermain. We have Alan Quatermain a hardheaded hunter whom seems to come into the 'club' for his own gain.Captain Nemo the 'mad-man' inventor whom add's many little helpful items. Henry Jekyll/Arther Hyde: the jittery scientist who seems to struggle with becomeing a man and is given a harder time a this when meeting Mina Harker. Rodney Skinner is a invisible klepto, and impossible not to love, his light-hearted sprit's will give the members a laugh even if they dont admit this.
As you can see there is a wide range of things in the movie for anyone hopefully you all go see it if you have not

Summary: "EXTRAORDINARY INDEED !"
Review: After spending almost an entire month tripping over every imaginable Hulk item you could shake a stick at,I sat through that particular mediocrity like every other well reviewed movie;if so many critics like this,than it can't be any good.Lo and behold,a poorly advertised cinematic roller coaster comes along and 1.Steals the screen from the Hulk 2.Makes more money than the Hulk with virtualy NO product tie-ins 3.Has a character that turns into the Hulk better than the Hulk!This movie is essential for one reason.If ONE 11 year old kid puts down his Xbox and READS any one of the many classics of which these characters were based,Exec.Producer Sean Connery should receive a medal.Buy this movie for you and your kids. It's important.

Summary: Puzzling...
Review: I went to see this movie thinking that it had to be very good since Sean Connery was in it. He did a good job, but overall, I was rather puzzled, both by the movie and Sean's choice to play in it. Had I missed something? The idea of bringing together characters from different classics - like Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, and captain Nemo - is rather interesting, but still... What's the catch? Action, action, and more action. Is that it? I saw another reviewer say here that the movie is based on a comic book and therefore is not to be taken seriously. Maybe that's the trick.

Summary: It's good but could be better
Review: hi there...reading the reviews, i found myself surprised that some people did not even read the comic book. first of all, the comic is way much better than it's film cousin, but the comic couldn't work as a movie so the liberties taken were cool. second, if you read the comic, you will get why the name of their boss is M (and no, it's not because sean connery was james bond), and why is called the league. anyways, dorian gray is not in the comic book, but it's a nice addition and stuart townsend acted brilliantly in it's role. go see it yourself but fist read the comic first, you will be a lot more entertained and more satisfied.

Summary: Is this a cartoon...?
Review: Half of a city is bombed to rubble, but Connery and his sidekicks escape without a scratch. They use swords and funrniture as weapons to defeat men armed with fully automatic guns. Mr Hyde has the ability to become a Hulk like muscular monster. Plus many more "extrordinary"(illogical) secenes. Don't be fooled by the stonge ads relating this to the movie Blade. There is absolutely no comparision between the 2 movies.
