... with few exceptions, the cast is excellent but the story is terrible... "League" still isn't as bad as Sean Connery's "The Avengers."

Top CriticOnly halfway into the summer of 2003, and the most dreadful studio blockbuster of the year finally reaches the multiplexes.

Watching LXG is a lot like looking at a set of bad one-hour photos. Blurry, streaked, dark, and incoherent.
07/23/03
Anemic and forgettable, but not entirely unlikable.

a dull concoction of literary antiheroes that brings back unwelcome memories of torturous high-school English classes, where even bloodsuckers, shape shifters and buccaneers somehow managed to bore us to tears

...I found the film to be charmingly fun.

Would have been much better with Darrell Hammond as Quatermain.

I would probably intensely dislike The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen if not for the fact that I'm so greatly amused by it.
07/18/03
A summer blockbuster as overstuffed as a WWE locker room, but with none of the fun and all of the odor.

It seems as though the effects team was often sleeping on the job.

The movie is extraordinary mostly for the sheer wastefulness of it all, the work of little boys who've never outgrown their love of blowing things up.

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.
