League ... isn’t a great movie, but it provides more fun that a lot of the other mediocre superhero movies ...

If there are more movies like LXG on the horizon, the genre will wear out its welcome before you can say sequel.

Robinson and Norrington approach literature like lazy high schoolers in an English class, using the material when it suits them and ignoring it when it doesn't.

Some might say that this is a mindless summer action film and it’s just for fun, and they would be mostly right, except for the fact that it’s not very much fun.
01/02/04
Takes a very promising idea and executes its so poorly that all of the joy is drained completely away.

When not even Sean Connery in a role tailor-made for him can spark a movie into life, you know something's gone terribly wrong.

Strands its characters in a series of elaborate but by-the-numbers action sequences that prove short on brain power and long on blasting powder.

. As a more popular 19th-century author, Robert Frost, said: "Poetry is what is lost in translation." They've certainly lost it here. .

Let’s end the suspense, shall we? This Sean Connery vehicle is not the summer blockbuster we hoped for.

Quem não leu o trabalho de Moore e O’Neill vai gostar do filme? Acredito que não, já que o péssimo roteiro, que se transforma em uma verdadeira bagunça a partir da metade da projeção, jamais consegue tornar a trama envolvente – ou mesmo lógica.
09/12/03
It isn’t just a knock off of the last franchise event movie you’ve seen, it’s every franchise event movie you’ve ever seen.
09/11/03
The premise of teaming up famous, disparate characters of classic fiction is a lot more intriguing than what ended up as the finished cinematic product.

... muddled and blustery ...
