With an embarrassment of comedy riches, Gatiss & Co will still leave some fans feeling disappointed.

Inventive, twisted and frequently hilarious, this is an enjoyable comedy that will appeal to both fans and newcomers to the series

Thankfully, not only have the League pulled it off magnificently, but they have remembered the most important thing of all -- how to be very, very funny indeed.

Audience Reviews for The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse

Even though i've never seen the TV series or had ever heard of it until now, it was actually quite funny. It might take you a while to get what's going on in the film but it's very witty and decently made considering its budget. The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse is stupid, disturbing and weird but at the same time it will suprise you in a good way.

This one is for hard core fans only really. It?s very self-indulgent by the League of Gentlemen but it?s also very original and quite brilliant. It keeps its well balanced blend of surreal comedy and horror and it succeeds where most film versions of TV series fail. That said, for me it did go off on a bit of a tangent
