Reviews for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Top CriticDespite Sean Connery and some impressive 19th century gloom, this big-screen translation of Alan Moore's culty comic-book series falls to earth with an incoherent splat.
07/16/03
Top CriticEven if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this.
07/15/03
Top CriticThis film is odd, loud, unintentionally funny and quite awful.
07/14/03
Top CriticThis isn't a blend of modern and classic so much as a collision.
07/11/03
Top CriticThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen just plain reeks.
07/11/03
Top CriticThis is awfulness of an utterly assembly-line nature.
07/11/03
Top CriticThe League is a movie to enjoy, then to root for and finally to be disappointed by.
07/11/03
Top CriticExcept for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.
07/11/03
Top CriticIll-conceived, sloppily directed, shoddily acted, LXG looks like the work of a confederacy of dunces.
07/11/03
Top CriticA concept whose promise is never quite fulfilled.
07/11/03
Top CriticSuspension of disbelief is as necessary as popcorn when approaching a summer comic-book movie, but LXG is too preposterous even for this fantastical genre.
07/11/03
Top CriticIn a summer of big-budget sequels, prequels, remakes and homages, no film is more ambitiously derivative -- or dramatically unsatisfying -- than Stephen Norrington's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
07/11/03
Top CriticOperates on a similar principle as Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle: Keep throwing things at the audience and edit the action sequences with a Vegematic.
07/11/03
Top CriticThe concept is high but everything else is merely fair to middling, one more or less watchable B-movie in megabucks clothing.
07/11/03
Top CriticBasically, we're watching all of these famous names pasted onto a lot of anonymous grade-B acting and limply staged fight scenes.
07/11/03
Top CriticGentlemen is not in a league of its own, but in a league with too many others.
07/11/03
Top CriticYet another ill-considered, explosions-driven summer movie that fails to deliver.
07/11/03
Top CriticA dreary and disheveled adventure that qualifies as one of summer's bigger disappointments.
07/11/03
Top CriticThis film by Stephen Norrington doesn't soar nearly enough above ordinary.
