This was everything you want in a summer popcorn movie. So what if it has some logic holes. Over all, it's loud, lots of colors and special effects and most important has characters you can root for and against. As a bonus you get literary allusions throughout. I thought the biggest negative was the intense action scene cutting that didn't give you a chance to absorb what you were seeing before switching to something else. Several times it left me quesy.

I have been waiting and waiting to purchase this DVD site unseen, but bad reviews and my husband stopped me. I found the DVD on sale at Target today for $7.50USD, and viewed it while my kids were napping. I had very low expectations for this movie, and there were times some cheesy dialog, ending, and character development reinforced my expectations. However, what made this movie an 8 out of 10 were the actors, who were actually very good, well casted, and brought an earnestness to their roles. I also really enjoyed many of the fighting scenes. There were some weak plot points, but overall this was a truly enjoyable experience. I would recommend this movie to anyone who asked me.

Okay, this movie's plot is a little silly and it doesn't require much thinking either. However, the action is great and so are the special effects. This movie is what it was ment to be. Pure entertainment. Sean Connery was great. 9/10

I like the plot and the odd group of fantastic characters it brings together, who are well played I think, by their human counterparts. The sets are bigger than life and quite marvelous ... it definitely has the feel of a comic book come to life. The action sequences are often too fast to follow however, which made them less engaging than they might have been, and a little overwhelming at times. It is still worth seeing, and perhaps they'll slow things down a bit in the sequel.

I enjoyed this comic book adaptation, grant you I never read the comic book and I can say I don't know anything about the characters past or if film makers made any changes to the story but I can I liked it. The effects were assume, the cast did a great job. No matter what critics say. The story works and I love the blend of literature characters that litter the film. Just one thing, one tiny mistake. Mina Harker was saved when Dracula was killed. She never fully transformed, if they wanted a female vampire, it should have been Lucy. They just staked her and every one knows if you remove the stake the vampire comes back. So Lucy vampire Mina saved. That's the only major goof in this movie. I give it...9 STARS

I am a fan of the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" comic book. The concept behind it is very intriguing: a superteam of characters from Victorian literature. Ever since I heard about the plans to adapt the comic into a movie, I was excited to see the end results. Now, the movie is here, and I am very pleased. Sean Connery leads the cast as Allan Quatermain. The visual imagery in the movie is wonderful, especially the art direction seen on the Nautilus. I loved all the literary references as well. Other moviegoers may not think much of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," but I applaud the efforts of everyone involved.

At every turn is another silly character or very silly stunt or special effect. However, otherwise it's largely fun and Sean Connery is very good despite the cheesy Bond references. It's OK, and worth seeing.

I don't know why critics are being so hard on this movie. While there's nothing extraordinary about it, that didn't stop me from enjoying it. It's a fun, action-adventure movie with solid characterizations. Everything is pretty straightforward about it (except for a few things that actually, caught me by surprise, mostly because of all the fake rumors out there) - the character motivations, the plot, etc. I'm sick of critics bashing something just because they seem to be the only ones that don't "get it." I doubt they've even read the original story it's based on. As for the comic book fans, despite all the differences, there's actually quite a few things they stayed true to.
