Editorial Review:
Description:
A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, a beast…when a masked madman known as "The Fantom" threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) commands a legion of superheroes, the likes of which mankind has never seen.
Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they mush join forces to save the world. Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking, "thrill-a-minute" (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) extravaganza loaded with "eye-popping effects and amazing action!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One)
Amazon.com:
The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr. Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, an Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from Dracula), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all brought together to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. Hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals; flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. Also featuring Peta Wilson, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Richard Roxburgh, and Jason Flemyng. --Bret Fetzer

Yeesh. An inexcusably muddled, disjointed action film. Sean Connery is the sole redeeming feature in a movie that is otherwise distinguished by poor sound design, overly busy visual design, negligible character development; flat, occasionally chintzy special effects, and very little of the dry ironic humor that marked the original Alan Moore graphic novel. It's all just so blunt and obvious and poorly rendered. Why? Why, why, why why?? Can it really be that hard to make a good comicbook action film? (Axton)

I personally liked this movie very much. It was a clever mixing of some of the most well known characters. The only one I was disappointed with was Shane West's character(Tom Sawyer). He was amazing in a Walk to Remember but his attempt at a Southern accent was pretty painful. Sean Connery was of course amazing. So overall, I liked this movie very much!

Here's the premise. Let's take as many late Victorian science fiction and fantasy characters as we can and put them together into an action movie. This seems like it would be really cool. The writers throw in a few half-clever references to the original works here and there, but characters mostly get to their supernatural powers. Character development is minimal since we've got to fit 6 or 7 characters into a regular-length movie plus lots of fighting and explosions.
The comic may be good, but don't waste your time on the movie.
Rating: -
Definitely a rent, but not a keeper. This one's good the first time you see it and the second or third time showing it to friends, after that, meh'.
Rating: -
I have say that this is one of the worse Sean Connery movie that I have ever watch.
