The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

I dont understand how to review this. The movie, OK , I like the actors in it (as long as they dont get Political). The DVD itself, I wont know until I watch it (right now its on my DVD shelf). If I were to watch it and the DVD itself is fine, that is no guarantee that ALL of the other DVDs that people may buy will be OK. Just like the majority of reviews, some say it is great and some hate it.

The case and product are fine. As far as the movie is concerned, of course I love it or I wouldnt have bought it!

The avengers, iron man, Sherlock Holmes: game is shadows are heavily inspired from this movie. In fact Sherlock Holmes: game is shadows has same plot as this movie. Looks like this is so underrated.

Product delivered on time. In good condition.

Lots of good actors, but they arent given much scope for their talents. Lots of explosions and shooting, plenty of noise. But its a bit tedious to watch. Leaves you time to think about things like why does Tom Sawyer wear suspenders hanging down from his waist? Why wear them at all if you arent going to use them? Why do steampunk women always have their bosoms pushed up so it looks like they are serving them on a tray? Why did they show the Nautilus as big as a cruise ship in one scene, then show them sailing it right into a canal in Venice in another scene, much smaller?

A movie mistake.... Nemo was from East India and not Turkey!

I am happy with my purchase of the Blu ray version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Although the reviews it received when it was in the theaters were not very good, it is still an entertaining adventure movie, with a interesting premise -- set in the late 19th century and getting together some of the most famous/infamous fictional heros of the time. The quality of the blu ray transfer is excellent (5 stars). The pictures are crisp and the sound was clear -- just like it was in the movie theatre. The movie does not live up to its full potential. While it is exciting to see these characters together, and the actors were all fairly good, they do not seem to develop enough relationship with one another. The plot starts well, but the ending is predictable. Nonetheless, I showed this movie to relatives who had not seen it before and they enjoyed it and decided to add it to their own DVD collection. I believe the movie is underrated, and many were deterred because of the poor initial reviews.

I love DVDs that have extras so I was pleased that this film had as much on it as it did considering how negative the reviews are and the fact that it did not break the 100 million mark in the US. Worldwide box office and video sales well exeeded the cost of the film so the filmakers should be happy. I guess they were confident ahead of time that it was worth putting in 2 commentaries etc. From what I read there were many other scenes filmed that were not used and at least some are included. I hope they do a extended version one day. If the dvd/bluray sales do well enough who knows? I am a big Connery fan and even though this film did not thrill me when I first saw it in the theatre I enjoy it more now on DVD just taking it for what it is. I will get the blu ray version after I get my big screen tv if this does not look as good as it does now on my 27inch Sony. It is crystal clear and fits the bill overall. Connery still makes you believe he is able to do the job even though at this date he was 73! It helps of course that this is a fantasy film and not a modern day true to life drama. Good popcorn flick as they say.

Right off the bat this movie had my attention and while there were some parts that made me want to skip forward I didnt. Amazing movie with the WRONG title. I saw that critics hated it and Sean Connery god rest his soul also hated it then its exactly the kind of movie I want to watch. After scanning thru all the free movies for the zillionth time and not seeing a singe one I want to watch or not seen before thru the corner of my eye I was that this movie had Sean Connery in it and so I gave it a go. Because of the title I always skipped right over it. The Gentleman in the title suggested the movie was saturated if feminism. When in fact it has some because the one main female character had extraordinary power that made he practically invincible but then again a lot of the males were the same or darn close.

Yes, just okay. Despite the good cast, led by S. Connery, it just attains an okay. There was a lot of potential but not realized. Just goes to show that gimmickry does not make a movie. Actually, by the end the gimmickry had gotten extremely tiresome. Watch it for Connery if youre a fan, but dont expect greatness.
