Reviews for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Top Critic... the effects and sets are marvellously fantastical and there are one or two neat comical allusions to the heroes' literary roots. But where's the excitement, the thrills, the tension, the style?

Top Critic'A welter of shoddy action setpieces and infuriatingly patronising dialogue.'
10/24/03
Destined to go down in the history books as the Heaven's Gate of superhero flicks, this is nothing more and nothing less than an extraordinary waste of time and money.

The more you think about the film, the more it falls to pieces. It's riddled with logistical and continuity errors that keep the audience continually uttering 'Huh?'

A stiff.
04/26/07
So little of real consequence is at stake that you'll have plenty of time to notice how the names on not one but two tombstones are misspelled.

The problem with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the filmmakers tried to give everyone a main storyline and ended up diluting everything.
12/06/05
The League is a project that was doomed from the moment the studio threw out Alan Moore comic and decided that they knew better.
03/05/05
Quelques moments sont légèrement mieux et même intéressants, mais dans l’ensemble, vous allez complètement gaspiller votre argent et votre temps avec ce film.

Just don't think too much between the super battles. This is, after all, very comic book.

[Director] Norrington has spent too much effort trying to include too much of the comic book.
09/20/04
If you stripped this film of its effects, not even the platform would remain. Unplug the computer and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen disappears.
