Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they mush join forces to save the world. Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking, "thrill-a-minute" (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) extravaganza loaded with "eye-popping effects and amazing action!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One)
User Reviews about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]
It was raining, and I was checking out the lower-priced DVDs at Wal-Mart. I saw this film: it had Sean Connery, and it was $10 for the blu-ray. Two very good reasons for buying it. Now, on another night, I might not have given it 5 stars, but it was raining, and I played the DVD.
Now, I've read the 1- and 2-star comments, but I haven't read the book(s?), so I had no preconceived notions about what was "supposed" to happen. I treated this film like many of the people who had never read Lord of the Rings treated the movie. They didn't know what had been changed or left out or added, and they loved the movie.
I really liked the film. It was helped along by the blu-ray transfer and the extraordinary (pun intended) sound. If you've got a great sound system, a quality blu-ray player, and an HD TV, this will always make a difference in the enjoyment. Sean Connery was superb, as usual, and I enjoyed seeing all the other characters. The movie had a lot of great qualities (sight and sound I've already mentioned): a mission, betrayal, a lot of action, and Sean Connery.
I'm sure there are those around who can talk about plot and advancement of the characters, but I really liked the characters.
The Nautilus was one proud ship. Now, I don't know who came up with the idea of the gigantic Hyde: both Van Helsing and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen pictured him as such (and both made in 2003). Before watching either film, I never thought of Hyde as an enormous Hulk. So I don't know who to give credit for the mountainous Hyde. I really approve of the presentation.
I even liked the ending. I would like a sequel, but after this amount of time, and I guess because of poor sales, there won't be one. My two cents (whatever happened to the "cent" key on keyboards? ). :-) -- It Depends on the Night
I love DVDs that have extra's so I was pleased that this film had as much on it as it did considering how negative the reviews are and the fact that it did not break the 100 million mark in the US. Worldwide box office and video sales well exeeded the cost of the film so the filmakers should be happy. I guess they were confident ahead of time that it was worth putting in 2 commentaries etc. From what I read there were many other scenes filmed that were not used and at least some are included. I hope they do a extended version one day. If the dvd/bluray sales do well enough who knows? I am a big Connery fan and even though this film did not thrill me when I first saw it in the theatre I enjoy it more now on DVD just taking it for what it is. I will get the blu ray version after I get my big screen tv if this does not look as good as it does now on my 27inch Sony. It is crystal clear and fits the bill overall. Connery still makes you believe he is able to do the job even though at this date he was 73! It helps of course that this is a fantasy film and not a modern day true to life drama.
Good popcorn flick as they say. -- Good DVD
I only gave it 3 stars because most of the movie didn't make sense. It started off great, but as it went along it really didn't make sense. There were parts of the movie that didn't belong. I am seven years late watching this movie. I thought this would be a blockbuster (especially with Sean Connery in it), but I was disappointed. This movie only grossed over $100,000,000 worldwide, so yea, it wasn't that great. -- Most of it didn't make any sense
This Movie is awesome. It has great actors one inperticulary sean connery. this movie is awesome. love this film. if you have not seen this movie than you should -- Great Movie
