    Succeeds the same way the original comic books did: by making the conflicts and dilemmas basic enough for a five-year-old, while giving the heroes and villains glamorous outfits and layers of complexity, to thicken the broth.

    The filmmakers tried to give everyone a main storyline and ended up diluting everything. With so many characters, the film lost some focus.

    Having these characters interact is both the joke and raison d'etre of "League." Its story is beyond banal.

    Outrageously vapid and overdone movie.

    If your looking for a unique action movie than this is for you, the plot is admittedly extremely simple, but this movie packs a punch in the action department with cool characters with unique powers, and some awesome special effects, all in all if you can put up with the simple plot and some bad acting from time to time this is a great action movie that will have you drooling over some of the super cool over the top moments.… Expand

    I enjoyed this movie. It's not fantastic, but it's not terrible. Decent effects, ok acting, and good ol' fashion explosions make it worth a look, maybe even a rental, or, maybe SOMEday, worth considering a purchase.… Expand

    Sporadically entertaining with only somewhat passable performances, and an almost comprehensible story.
