League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[Zixar]

I had liked the original comic book this movie was based on, but I didn't hold high hopes for the movie. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised at this one, too. I think it was Sean Connery's best action role since The Untouchables or Hunt For Red October. Definitely worth a matinee.

I enjoyed this one too. It struck me as having a slightly different flavor from the comic books, but what the heck, a comic book is a comic book, and a movie is a movie.

At first, I wondered why Dorien Gray was there, but the reason became apparent as the movie unfolded.

I liked how they handled Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Hyde.

I liked their interpretation of the "Nautilus".

It seems that turn of the twentieth-century bad guy minions aren't any better shots than the Imperial Storm Troopers of Star Wars, but what spectacular pyrotechnics!

I liked Sean connery's interpretation of Quartermain better than the comic book's. I'd like to see Connery play King Conan in his later years.

Love,

Steve

I thought it was so bad I walked out after about 15 minutes. No, maybe it was ten. It was so absurd on so many levels, including the acting and direction, even as a comic book fantasy (I liked X-Men, and others), I just couldn't take any more.

I liked it for what it was, just a brainless action film with cool special effects.

couldn't believe they spent soooo

much money on such a bad movie.

terrible terrible

and I usually like this sort of thing.

It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is swing.

I agree with your assessment, Hops.
