The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]

When I was a little boy my Dad used to come home late and wake me up to watch horror movies on the TV. Chilirama and Tales from the Crypt. Only a couple movies combine all the elements that remind me of those nights watching movies with Dad struggling to keep my eyes open so me and my father could spend time together (he worked a double shift most days). This is one of those movies. A Vampire, an Invisible Man and sorted fictional characters from all my favorite books. Quartermain, M, Moriarty, Nemo, Hyde, and even Tom Sawyer. Well casted and scripted. You want to slap on a movie to distract yourself from the day to day, then this will do the job admirably.

This movie is one of my favorites! Im surprised it does so bad on rotten tomatoes. Its may be a bit hard to follow if you dont know any of the characters, but they are from classic novels so its pretty common knowledge and explained for those who dont know them. The characters are dynamic and the fight scenes are awesome, especially near the end. I bought it to show my friends who hadnt ever heard of it and they absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend it.

Sean Connery is fabulous as he ages hes like fine wine just gets better and better.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is really an extraordinary superhero movie although these heroes arent from comic books but the books of great literature. A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, and a beast -- the imndomitable Alan Quatermain from of H. Rider Haggards 1885 novel King Solomons Mines; Mina Harker from Bram Strokers immortal vampire book Dracula; Captain Nemo from Jules Vernes 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; the sleek and sinister Dorian Gray from Oscar Wildes the Picture of Dorian Gray; Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde comes from Robert Louis Stevensons short novel Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; a grown-up Tom Sawyer, called Agent Sawyer, from Mark Twains various novels; and the thief Rodney Skinner standing in for H. G. Wells Invisible Man-- are all treated as real people who lived, worked, fought, and even died around the turn of twentieth century and that all of the adventures written about them werent fiction, but just the events that made up the days of their lives. And here they fight a villainous master-mind who is trying to start a world war just to make profits for himself. I dont know why, but at first, I did not not like this movie. But then I watched it again for a second time and found that despite a certain grimness to the sets that represent 19th century London and Paris, this is a great action/adventure film to rival any James Bond or X-Man movie. It was the kind of a movie that made wished I had read the books all of those heroes-- and the surprise villain-- came from. I think that in spite of the violence, and there is a lot of it, this might be a very good movie for parents to watch with their older kids and point out to them that the great works of literature can be just as exciting as any comic book or video game and get them started on reading just for the pleasure of reading.

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

Sean Connery is great. This movie has it all; good actors, good story, history, intrigue, drama, Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, Dracula, Journey to the center of the earth, the invisible man, world war, sherlock holmes and moriarty, tints of iron man and wonder woman, ... and its pretty clean when you think of the lack of profanity, gore and nudity. great soundtrack. Really, its one of the better and definitely underrated movies of the last decade.

brilliant and timeless hours of watching over and over for year

Item was wrapped as if knew but my husband finally got to open it and the movie does not play, he gets a code and it does not read the disk. I know is not my PSO because my other disk plays

The cast of course is great , the movie itself I found very entertaining and action packed a great movie for my collection and a great fun movie for the whole family !!

I left my husband home alone and low and behold he purchased this movie via Amazon prime. First of all I was impressed that my sweetie pie had figured out how to work our firestick, secondly this is a good movie. This movie reminds me of the Indiana Jones series of movies.
