Reviews:

This movie was amazing! Went to see it at the cinema when it first got released back in 2003. For the time the special effects in this movie are mind blowing. A must watch in my opinion.

Enjoyed it.

‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ does nothing all that extraordinary but produces a fun time nevertheless. Great cast, fast paced plot and entertaining action. The ending slightly underwhelms, but I still found myself satisfied with it. The special effects are good, it’s only “The Nautilus” that looks less than so.

Sean Connery does carry the film as Quatermain, he’s terrific throughout – really enjoyed the way his character carries himself. I liked Tony Curran’s Skinner too. I actually rate all the characters to be honest, with Jason Flemyng (Jekyll/Hyde) and Stuart Townsend (Gray) being my picks of the rest.

Merits a watch, even if Connery didn’t remember it all that fondly.

Sean Connery’s best action movie since “The Rock”
The improbable logistics of the exciting new Sean Connery science fiction adventure saga “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” won’t stand up to scrutiny. Meaning, moviegoers who nit-pick at flicks probably won’t appreciate this special effects laden extravaganza. For example, when our intrepid heroes cruise into Venice, Italy, circa 1899, aboard the fabulous submarine ‘the Nautilus’ of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” fame, they should have run aground. Under actual circumstances, those scenic Venetian canals don’t draw enough water to accommodate a sub. Later, Tom Sawyer of Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer” performs the impossible as he races along straight stretches of street in Venice. You can wheel around in circles without accident, but those claustrophobic Venetian roads aren’t straight enough for him to pull off those “2 Fast 2 Furious” stunts. Indeed, virtually everything in “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” qualifies as wholly unbelievable, so hard-core realists won’t buy a bit of this outlandish, over-the-top, 19th century nonsense. Nevertheless, part of the charm of this imaginative Victorian-era “X-Men” is its name-dropping line-up of literary characters, its hopelessly preposterous heroics, and its futuristic gadgets far ahead of their time.

“The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” opens ominously in the year 1899 as weapons technology has made great strides forward in firepower and mobility. London City police run amok when an armor-plated vehicle resembling a pre-World War I tank batters its way into the Bank of England and blows the vault. Out pour villainous Germans sporting Nazi-style helmets and primitive but nonetheless lethal machine guns. A montage of newspaper headlines splash across the widescreen forecasting war in the offing. At the head of these sinister looking brigands is the Phantom, a tall, intimidating figure that conceals burned face under an operatic mask and brandishes a cane with an evil-looking skull. The Phantom dreams of dominating the world by starting a war and then wiping out the survivors. Meanwhile, the Head of British Intelligence M (Richard Rexburg of “Moulin Rouge”) dispatches Sanderson Reed of Her Majesty’s Government (Tom Goodman-Hill of “Charlotte Gray”) to find someone to lead a special “A-Team” of sorts to stop the Phantom.

Looking fitter than ever, 73-year old Sean Connery of James Bond fame plays one of the 19th century’s more colorful heroes Allan Quatermain, a white South African adventurer prominently featured in H. Rider Haggard’s classic novel “King Solomon’s Mines.” Reed approaches Quatermain in Kenya to persuade him to head up the League of Gentlemen. No sooner has Reed made his offer than a gang of armed assailants enter the club and shoot the place up, killing Quatermain’s best friend Nigel (David Hemmings of “Blow-Up”) who often impersonates Quatermain to shield him from tourists. Quatermain accepts Reed’s offer as the gun smoke clears. In London, Quatermain assembles a literary who’s who of Victorian-era characters. Captain Nemo (veteran Indian actor Nasseeruddin Shad of “Monsoon Wedding) of Jules Verne fame provides ‘the Nautilus’ as transportation, so our heroes can set sail to Venice where the abominable Phantom plans to demolish the city with underwater bombs. Other team members include Mina Harker (Peta Wilson of TV’s “Nikita”) who appeared in Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula”; Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran of “Blade 2”) who stole the Invisible Man’s formula but accidentally doused himself; the immortal Dorian Gray (Stuart Townsend of “Queen of the Damned”) of the novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”; U.S. Government Special Agent Tom Sawyer (Shane West of “Get Over It); and Dr. Henry Jekyll (Jason Fleming of “Snatch”) of Robert Lewis Stevenson’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” By far the most inventive character in “League” is Dr. Jekyll. When he drinks his mysterious potion, he turns into a gigantic “Hulk-esque” Mr. Hyde. No matter where kindly Dr. Jekyll goes, his alter ego peers back at him from mirrors and windows nagging him incessantly to let him out.

Director Stephen Norrington, best known for the original “Blade” with Wesley Snipes, rarely lets the momentum lag in this marvelously lensed melodrama. The ingenious James Dale Robinson screenplay, based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, finds enough time during its efficient 110 minutes to elaborate about character when our heroes aren’t plunging recklessly through one metaphorical flaming hoop after another. Sure, the “League” is formulaic and predictable despite its somber ending, but Norrington delivers exactly what you’d expect from such a movie. The fights are as fast as they are furious with an agile Sean Connery pummeling his opponents with his white-knuckled fists. “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” is Sean Connery’s best action movie since “The Rock” and the most creative superhero movie of the summer.
