THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN(2003)
One fun movie with Sean Connery and other great actors
portraying characters from literature that are in a role quite
different from their original writers world! A lot of fun!! B+
From IMDb.com:
I was very pleased with this movie. There are some who
have claimed that those who enjoy this film have a low IQ.
I see no reason why a person can't have a high IQ and enjoy
an imaginative and fun film. For years I have enjoyed the
works of Doyle, Wilde, Stevenson, Stoker, Twain, Haggard,
Wells, Poe, and Verne. I went into this film hoping it would
do their characters justice. It did. Some prefer the "original"
versions of these characters by Alan Moore. I prefer the
way they were written by their creators. The characters
are closer to their literary selves in the film version than
in the comic book. I was very happy about that. I grew up
with these characters and they played a huge part in my
childhood fantasy life. Other girls may have pretended to
be Wonder Woman, but I was Captain Nemo! I was hoping
that LXG captured the imaginative world that flourished
in my young mind when I read all those old beloved books.
LXG delivered! This is a fun escapist fantasy and all of my
favorite literary characters are in great form. I had a truly
wonderful time watching LXG. It's a fun adventure that
requires that you bring your inner child along for the
ride. My inner child loved it. I loved it too! - videomaniac
