Avis sur le produitThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (DVD, 2003)

A Powerful Treasure!

A very powerful, eloquently written book by the late, great John Lewis. Once I started reading it, I just couldn't put it down. Ironically, I got this book the same day of his memorial service in Atlanta! I highly recommend this book!Lire l'avis complet...

Movie adaptation of Graphic Novel

This was a comic book or series of comic books that were bound together into a Graphic Novel. Like "300", "V for Vendetta" or the New "Watchmen" this was much better left as a Comic book and not a Movie. This story line was not from the Book but completely movie generated. I always question why Hollywood takes a perfectly good book and changes it for the movies. But Alan Moore is a Comic Genius and this is pulled off quite well. This is a Pre 1900 Super Hero Team that is formed under Sean Connery's Character Alan Quartermain. There is an Invisible Man, Captian Nemo (20,000 Leagues under the Sea), A Vampiress (Mina Harker from Dracula), Dr. Jekell/Mr. Hyde, Tom Sawyer(this guy was never in the comic), and others. This follows there adventures against a Super Villian named The Phantom (not of the Opera, but he does have a silly mask). If you are a comic or Hero fan this is worth a watch.Lire l'avis complet...

Interesting combination of classic characters...

I love most anything Sean Connery does and this follows that pattern. Is it a classic like his early James Bond movies? No. But it is a cool mix of classic characters in a fun adventure to save the world.Lire l'avis complet...

enjoyable action adventure

Although I had never heard of Allen Quartermaine . Sean Connery brought him to light. The other literary characters were all portrayed in a bold twisted fashion.
The story wasn't completely predictable, which made it more enjoyable for me.
At the end it appeared a sequel may be available but such is not the case.
I imagine I would have enjoyed it as well.Lire l'avis complet...

Remembering when

I grew up in the late boomers generation. I cut yards on the weekend to have a little cash to buy those things that mom and dad could not afford. Comic books.... This movie is awesome. It combines child hood heroes of old with todays fresh appeal. I could only wish my dreams as a child were this imaginative.

The ride of course is with memorable giants in literature like Alan Quartermane, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker, Dorian Gray, The Invisible man, Mr Hyde and Tom Sawer who is all grown up and well really kinda cool.

Lets get this disclaimer going though.. If you are not into sci-fi or action or comics stay the heck away from this movie. It is not for you. If you on the other hand like if you have a flare for imagination and if you are an outgoing fun loving hang on to the edge of your seat kind of person THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU!

The premise is that someone is trying to draw the world into a bitter war and that Brittan assembles a team to go after the bad guy. It is typical good vs evil, The special effects are really ingenious.

I am a self described movie nut who loves sci-fi, horror, action and occasional documentary.

Very cool.

This is a really awesome movie I would tell anybody this movie because it's worth the money, the reason why I didn't give it such a good rating is
because it came with a broken tab sliding around all over the top so that's why you thank you very much k Lire l'avis complet...

Excellent Plot and Story Line

EXCELLENT Movie. I had another copy before and loaned it to a family member, that copy got scratched up and wouldn't play anymore. This was purchased as a replacement. Yes, I've learned, do NOT loan DVD's to anyone...LOL.
You want Good Entertainment and a Little Twist in plot utilizing the characters in this film - it's worth the watch.Lire l'avis complet...
