desertcart.com: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen : Movies & TV Review: A Classic - A classic thriller and a wonderful finally for Connery. Review: Awesome steampunk classic, great for movie night or any night or day - Don't look for an indepth, 5 paragraph review about things most people don't really want to know right away. If you like superheroes and science fiction, you'll probably like this too. What an awesome movie, based on comics and books of the same name or original name of League Of Gentlemen. If you're not enticed by the synopsis and looking at reviews then the production quality is good and flows well in my opinion. You really get exposed to each individual character and understand how they all play their part to create LXG and complete their mission. I was engaged in the movie the entire time and was exciting to watch. At first, it seemed slow but I believe that was because, in part, the time the movie takes place, 1899. Although this movie was deemed a failure, I believe it was ahead of it's time, when the superheroes were much more modern and action packed, LXG seemed dull and old fashion. I loved it. I also believe this was Sean Connery's last movie before he retired, which he retired because of the stress he faced with LXG production staff. Don't forget, Sean also turned down big roles in LOTR, Harry Potter, Matrix and Indiana Jones because of his experience on the LXG set, so that kinda adds to it for me.

TERRIFIC MOVIE!
This is a terrific movie starring Sean Connery. I've seen this movie before and had forgotten how good it was. You won't be disappointed!

Very entertaining but silly movie
Overall I really liked this film. This is not a masterpiece of cinema but that's not the point, this is pure early 2000's popcorn entertainment. Honestly this could have been a longer movie, maybe a little over 2 hours or so. The characters were interesting and I think we needed to see a bit more development. This is a fast paced movie and all the actors do a great job. But as usual, Sean Connery (Rest in Peace) steals the show. The CGI overall good but at some points it looks a bit dated. But for a movie coming out in 2003, its special effects are more or less good.
