Most bad movies are just bad movies, but some have the unholy power to force iconic screen legends into retirement. This is one such movie.

Forced Connery into retirement and for that alone, it is a horrible film. But it is actually a horrible film. Once again Alan Moore's source material is raped and Fox produces a brain dead film out of awesome source material.

LXG had the potential to be decent considering the quality of the source material. But it's absolutely awful. The story telling, visuals, editing, script and set designs are all terrible. But the ultimate sin is that it led the legend that is Sean Connery to retirement. His opening scene is great, that scene alone is one of my favourite Sean Connery moments. But why the hell did he agree to be in this monstrosity? LXG is one of the biggest wastes of cinematic potential I can recall. Terrible.

A huge disappointment. The comic series it was based on was top notch, and it was sad to see that great story get butchered so badly in its translation to film. In some ways, we're lucky that the second installment of the comic is a "War of the Worlds" story and with the recent blockbuster on that, we won't be subjected to another horrible League adaptation. Read the comics instead!

Her majesty should rescind Connery's knighthood for taking part in this film.

Like 2001's apes musing over the Monolith, execs mull over Alan Moore's carefully wrought, insanely fun comic & decide? Gut it 4 a "market-tested audience"! So Tom Sawyer is unnecessarily shoehorned in since H'wood believes we r unable 2 enjoy a film w/out an American lead (the Bond, Potter & LOTR franchises apparently being small exceptions). They also neuter several characters& glob on forced action scenes, gadgets, & the usual tropes 2 "play it safe". Is it any wonder this topples over?

LGX is not nearly as bad as it could have been. In fact, it has some pretty fun aspects to it. Granted its script is horrendous, spotted with shitty dialogue and strange interactions, it's not all bad. Sean Connery isn't as horrible as his reaction to the movie would make you believe, and its characters can be fun at times. Not a total loss.

I would highly recommend people to seek out the graphic novels (Moore's mashup satire of PG Wodehouse and HP Lovecraft in one of the intervening chapters is maybe the single best concise thing he's done imo), but yeah this film is so fucking bad Connery retired from acting. They basically rebooted the concept for the Penny Dreadful series, which while it had its flaws was far superior to this.

The plot was hokey and a lot of the acting overblown (we know where some of these guys get their dietary fiber; it's from chewing scenery!), but the fact that Hyde was almost always a hand-built costume and not CGI in his fully-transformed incarnation deserves some respect! The whole thing's eye candy, great for taking a "brain break" on a lazy afternoon.

The best (worst?) part is the car chase through the nonexistant streets of Venice. Also, it appears that no one involved with the movie has ever opened any of the books they referenced - for example, Dorian Gray is NOT a brunette, nor does he inexplicably die from looking at his own portrait.

This movie seems to be universally panned. That is unfair. There may be worse films in the universe (AVP comes to mind). I actually liked the concept of this film better than most of the flick. I think it could have been a whole lot better. Maybe a few years frm now, someone will remake this movie and do it justice; they certainly can't make it much worse.

What would definitely be a promising idea with an all-star cast turns into a special effects heavy mess that is a bundle of bad one-liners and confusing subplots. The strength of the actors gets buried in the film's murky steampunk aesthetic and the film is wholly an underwhelming disappointment. This is reportedly the movie that made Sean Connery quit acting so that right there is endorsement enough of the type of movie it is.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is just pure misery but also fascinating. It ended the career of Sean Connery, director Stephen Norrington, and writer James Dale Robinson. It also features what could have been two-ninths of the Fellowship of the Ring. Promotional material which still exists shows a character who isn't in any cut of the movie. If you are wondering why I'm not talking about the movie itself, don't. It sucks. Everything around the movie is exponentially more interesting.

With its cool premise and being based on Alan Moore's highly enjoyable comics this could have been so fun and great. But instead of making a movie that is a homage in the spirit of those classics they turned it in a generic early noughties dark comicbook movie. It's biggest sin is therefor that it takes itself way too serious, while the material calls for a more lighthearted approach. There is no sense of a fun. The only slight reason to watch this is Sean Connery, who retired after this.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a bad movie. It's incredibly dull, despite trying to be filled with a lot of action. It's all meaningless and boring. It takes itself too seriously to be able to have much fun with it, but it's not good enough to enjoy that way. The characters are flat, the acting is poor, the writing will, at times, make you cringe, and the plot is all over the place and often lacks even the most basic of logic. You have no reason to watch this movie.

What's with the hatred for this? Is this the first time the film industry has taken liberties with the source material? Is this the first time Alan Moore has gotten his knickers abunch because the film adaptation didn't live up to his "vision"? For what it is, it's an entertaining steampunk ride which reinterprets the graphic novel and the characters reinterpretted for the graphic novel, which I also read BTW. If you prefer the same story with more explosions, just watch "The Avengers" instead.

Maybe it's cause I watched it a lot growing up, but I can't completely understand the hate for this one.

Not enough exposition; badly violates 'show > tell' principle.
