September 26, 2011I really really wanted to like this movie, but somehow it turned out super-boring, kind of confusing , and poorly held together.

August 2, 2011The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is easily one of the worst big budget action movies ever made and just an all around terrible movie. It has interesting elements and qualities that make it watchable, but for the most part it's just all bad. The most obvious flaw is the almos... read more

July 18, 2010As a fan of the graphic novel, this was a huge disappointment. Completely miscast, the writing is horrendous, the effects are terrible. A complete bomb.

July 18, 2009This is poor stuff, it looks great, real effort in that department, the characters are great and look good and I love the idea.

January 27, 2009This movie wasn't bad as I thought before... I think it's pretty cool having Sean Connery to lead a group of people with extraordinary abilities to face the enemy who wants to start the World War... The story given in this movie was okay, not too great, but not bad... At least I ... read more

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. Full Review

Ed Park, Village Voice
Even if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
This film is odd, loud, unintentionally funny and quite awful. Full Review

This isn't a blend of modern and classic so much as a collision.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen just plain reeks.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
This is awfulness of an utterly assembly-line nature. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The League is a movie to enjoy, then to root for and finally to be disappointed by. Full Review

Most studios aim for movies, particularly summer movies, that can be enjoyed by both kids and their parents. LXG can be enjoyed by children and ... their grandparents. Full Review

Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.
