The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Reviews |
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a movie about...no, well it's about...hmm, no not that either. What is this frickin movie about? I guess you could say it's about justice, and crap, but all you will say after you've seen this waste of celluloid is "Why?" [read review] 
--Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" assembles a splendid team of heroes to battle a plan for world domination, and then, just when it seems about to become a real corker of an adventure movie, plunges into incomprehensible action, idiotic dialogue, inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy. What a mess. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is exactly the kind of movie people complain about when talking about big summer movies - it's loud and things blow up with expected regularity. But it's also a lot of fun, with its unique cast of characters and impressive visuals, making it almost ideal for this time of year. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
It just doesn't work. After halfhearted attempts to salute the Victorian-era sense of fantasy and adventure, "League" accelerates into an episodic sprawl of fights, computer-generated explosions and less-than-snappy dialogue. [read review]
--Desson Howe (Washington Post)
In 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." [read review]
--Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
Highly flawed but still quite good fun, this is criminally unfaithful to its excellent source material and features an unwelcome amount of dodgy CGI but isnt the disaster you might have been expecting. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
It's bad in all the old, dull ways of being bad: poor performances, absurd story, dreary special effects, witless dialogue and the excessive length of someone taking himself far too seriously. [read review]
--Stephen Hunter (Washington Post)
Despite 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. [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
Destined to go down in the history books as the Heaven's Gate of superhero flicks, this is nothing more and nothing less than an extraordinary waste of time and money. [read review] 
--Jamie Russell (BBC Films)
Overall, the tone of the film is clear: These are the X-Men of old English literature, but if you're looking for anything literary, turn back now. [read review] 
--Christopher Monfette (MovieWeb)
I walked out of the theater and forgot about it five minutes later. Everything but the very cool Mr. Hyde monster, that is. Hyde smash!!! [read review] 4/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
While 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' is not terrible, its highly original and unusual premise deserves a much better treatment. [read review] 6/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
Forgettably destined to join the pantheon of Decidedly Ordinary Summer Popcorn Movies. [read review] 57/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
The experience of watching this movie is a marginal and moderately disappointing one. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
A silly yet fun romp [read review] C+
--Gareth Von Kallenbach (Lee's Movie Info)
