This movie has the possibility to be something great but lost it in the confusion and blundering mess - a bit like my operating system.

Awful idea from the start. Run, don't walk, away from this movie!! The Avengers Part Deux!! Well, maybe not that bad.

So bad that even a dog couldn't like this movie.

OK, so it wasn't exactly "Oscar" material ... and it wasn't groundbreaking like "The Matrix" or as entertaining as "X-Men 2". But I LIKED IT!! All three of us who saw the movie truly enjoyed it. It did have its flaws and its low points but doesnt deserve all the horribly bad reviews its gotten. If you're looking for a 'fun' film thats enjoyable to watch ... this one fits the bill.… Expand

Please tell me that Sean was kidnapped or blackmailed to do this trash? Absolutely terrible.

What was Sean thinking?

It wasn't exactly the most meaningful film of the year, I'll give you that. On the other hand, it wasn't meant to be. This is what it promised -- an action/fantasy/special FX film which gives you a little excitement for your summer holidays. What else do you want?!

This presentation is riveting in that one must see what audaciously warped device is forced upon the preceding one. High marks for creativity, but the fact that this cobbled assemblage presumes to work is the only extraordinary thing about it.

Great film.

This is an average forgettable film at its best. The characters had NO developement and didn't seem to care about each other. The action was somewhat good but nothing memorable, and the storyline was stupid and cheesey, which almost came to a b-movie storyline but didn't quite which made it worse. Oh and the CG was HORRIBLE. When the castle blew up there shouldn't have been towers still standing from that incredibly fake exposion. Thats not to say that this movie is horrible, it just isn't good action film such as the recently released, Kill Bill, however, if you do find a theatre that is playing this movie for 1.99, I would say that it isn't a bad investment. The only problem with me is that I dragged about seven friends to this film, and one of them loves it to no end. I'm sorry but it isn't that great of a film, jackass.… Expand

This movie set out to be just an adaption of a comic book - not a historical drama. It was simply fun (as it was meant to be)...Simple characters, simple story and simple action LOVED IT.

Dire. Just dire. Looks like they were saving money on the SFX. A pale shadow of the comic.

Not the best movie of all time but enjoyable nonetheless.

This movie is awful! It was so bad that I spent the majority of the movie trying to think of another I hated more; I couldn't! I went in thinking this will be a typical action movie (low on plot, big on action) but even action movies have that element that makes them enjoyable. LXG lacks that element. It was so bad I didn't know if I should laugh, cry or walk out - so I did all three!

If you're expecting a re-telling of the graphic novel, you'll be severely let down. If you're looking for something other than the run-of-the-mill superhero movie, you might like it.

I was intrigued through all the character introductions, which seemed tongue-in-cheek at best, but the film begins to fall apart as soon as the action begins, which is a shame. The plot just gets murkier and stupider, and the special effects go from dumb to dumberer.

Chad is pretty much on the money and is only off by 3 points. Extremely disappointing effort by all. Avoid at all costs.

This is one poor excuse for a movie. How do professionals not see how bad it is being made? Sean will have nightmares that his name is associated with this garbage.

This movie isn't great. I think that next day I won't even remember this one. Good idea, I think, but badly executed. Don't throw your money away for it. If you don't have anything better to do you can see it but this one isn't worth buying a ticket. Only good side of this film - special effects. But I've seen better. Just an average movie. !Forgive my English

I've watched the movie about a dozen times, and bought the DVD. Its like the original Xmen. I loved this movie. It had tons of action and kept me entertained the way your thinking movies suck at. I've read most of the novels of the characters that were in the movie and I have to admit, they were close. Before you hate this movie give it a chance. It is pretty darn good.

Wasn't expecting brain surgery and didn't get it although was a little numb after. What the hell was going on with Mina's hair? Where did she find time for all those Perms that appeared like magic, only to then flop...bit like the movie...and then appear again. And that fight scene with Dorian was a masterfull bit of CRAP continuity...watch it again and see the perm and the skirt...NOW YOU SEE THEM, NOW YOU DON'T...etc etc. That aside I actually enjoyed it although like many of you out there I marvelled at the ability of the 'kin huge Nautilus to slink into Venice without running aground or being spotted. Must have been all that free beer at the party!!!!… Expand

One of the central probelms with LXG is a similar probelm with Spawn. The story of Spwan was a twisted, dark, demented look at the psyche of a tortured man. Instead, it was turned into a PG-13, CGI-induced, brainless action flick. Same goes for this Alan Moore classic, which was a mostly dark tone towards a truly unique gallery of literature icons. Instead, we get a summer-cliched action flick. And the only reason why it was truly any good was because of Sean Connery, cause as we all know Sean Connery is God. And God is drunk.… Expand

I seen this in the movie and on the dvd and on Showtime and I still love to watch it.

Peta Wilson gave a amazing performance as mina harker and her outfit was da bomb! this movie is action packed and you are glued to your seat.

The 1st 10 minutes were great then it was like waiting for a joke the whole movie. It sucked!

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.

This sucked from start to finish. Sean, my main dude, what the hell were you doing in this crap? Sucked BIG time.

It's a good story, but the producers seemed to think no one can understand a more than one minute dialogue. Plus there was too much shooting in my oppinion.

This is giving the movie a more favorable grade. It deserves so much less than a three, but has earned it because not all the actors did such a bad job at playing the role they were supposed to play. However, some of the people cast in this film were not fitting of their part. The casting--especially for Mr. Nemo--was terribly atrocious. Also, the film lacked any direction, plot, or effects. There *was* no point to the film, at least not one that was meaningful enough to the viewer. Bottom line--this movie stunk up the screen bad and it should have never made it to the theatres in the first place.… Expand

Ummmhhhh...... we´re a bit tired of comic books don´t you think. YOU SUCK YOU F...... BORING MOVIE!

Alan Moore should want to kill someone right now. Maybe Tim L. Someone who apparently holds no regard to "adapting" something. "Adapting" not changing.

OH MY GOD! It's that awful. Even the beloved Sean Connery can't save this unmitigated drek from sinking to unfathomable levels.

Damn. Damn, damn. Damn. The problem with LXG? is that it really WASN'T a bad idea from the start. I'd not heard of the graphic novels before, but it sounds like a neat concept - all these stars of 19th and early 20th century literature banding together? I'll have some of that. But unfortunately there were a few production problems (ie everyone involved ended up hating everyone else involved with a deep passion), though whether they had anything to do with the "this'll do" nature of the script I'm loath to say...the simple fact is, despite the rather great premise, it doesn't work. And it really could have done, had they put the tiniest of tiny bits of effort into the script. It's a crock. Damn.… Expand

Not the comic, but very good on its own. Slightly off, but better than most of this summer's choices.

The sad news is it probably could have been a great movie, but fell flat due to the director's love of excess and pointless explosions and FX, instead of keeping the focus on the characters themselves. I gave it a couple of extra points simply off the strength of Stuart Townsend's performance as the amoral yet charismatic Dorian Gray, who was the only character to catch and hold my attention the entire time his character was on screen. In fact, the love/hate relationship and interaction between him and Mina Harker (Peta Wilson) provided the highlights of the movie for me. Now, had the cast been thinned down one or two (eliminate the pointless Tom Sawyer character, for starters,) take away several explosions, and gave us some more character moments instead, this could have been a really good movie. I'll probably buy the DVD, but only to watch Stuart Townsend's performance over again. … Expand

When the great Sean Connery looks back at his career, this is the one movie he will want expunged from his record. He is so beloved that we all feel that he is above ever making a film this bad. Unfortunately, it is what it is? And that my friends is terrible. Avoid at all costs. Sean himself has bombed the movie.

If Mina can fly, why does she get into the car? And why does Venice have streets? In Dorian Gray's library, the fight begins with gunplay, and then inexplicably, other means of waging war are deployed. Were the gun-toters out of ammo, or did the director want a variety of fighting? "The League of Extrodinary Gentlemen" borders on incompetence when Dorian Gray's portrait is revealed. With all that technology the special effects personnel have at their disposal, you would think they could top the portrait used in 1945's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". They don't. Bad dialogue, routine action scenes, and competent but boring special effects add up to one dull evening at the cineplex. … Expand

Didn't anyone look at this bomb on the cutting room floor before they released it? It is hard for me to believe that with Sir Sean Connery in the flick that he permitted it to be shown without destroying it first? Possibly one of the worst movies, if not the worst, he has ever made.

This movie was a bad as The Core and just as ROTTEN. They have to be kidding making a movie THIS BAD. Poor Sean.

I'm giving it a three. One point for Dorian Gray, One point for Tom Sawyer, and One point for Sean Connery. There isn't much plot, and it's an overly lavished action movie. You don't learn to feel for the characters, and the ending leaves you flat. This one is best skipped all together. Sorry mates.

Normally, I'd be happy just listening to Sean Connery read listings from the Denver white pages, but this was the sorriest Connery movie I've ever seen. Overblown, self-impressed, the literary allusions were childish and the special effects were awful. I wasn't buying the fantasy of the Nautilus cruising through the canals of Venice. Picture the Titanic in your bathtub! What were they thinking? This film won't even be remembered as a camp classic. A waste of time. Sean did this for the paycheck. Ugh.… Expand

Suberb action movie! I really cant see why people dont like it.

You know that feeling where you want to chew your own fist off with embarrassment? Yeah... The dialogue *alone* is that bad but them then there's the holes in the plot... holes big enough to drive a bus through. If your I.Q. is higher than the metascore this is one to avoid.

One of the most awesome movies you could ever see. Everytime it's on, I like to watch it. Why the hell would these critics be so harsh?

This film was desperate - I left the cinema depressed. Nice idea - horrendously executed!

Eye candy at it's best. Interesting characters being fleshed out very well by the cast and inhabiting Carol Spier's extravagant sets. Norrington's action direction gives a certain mood that's superior to most comic book adaptations. Could have been quite extraordinary if it hadn't been for the utterly unnecessary and uninteresting character Tom Sawyer, weakly portrayed by Shane West. Worth seeing despite this flaw.… Expand

Some nice special effects but lame story, boring dialogues and incredebly bad image quality. The actors weren't that bad.

This movie sucks.

This movie sucks.

I, personally, thought it was a wonderful interpretation of a great comic book. The style, the flash, the eye candy, and each ficticious character's ploys and offerings to the team made for one hell of a joy ride. A job well done, despite all of these negative reviews, it was still greatly enjoyed by some. People seem to fail to realize it was intended to be an over-the-top action movie. Fantasy (or is it sci-fi?) at it's finest.… Expand

A fan of the comic - i was not disappointed in the least. i saw all the trailers so i knew it was going to be a horrible waste of time and money. it was everything i thought it would be and more! the worst movie ever, hardly...the worst movie i've spent money on this year...quite possibly.

This movie is absolutely amazing. If you're looking for some psychological thriller, you won't find it here, but you aren't supposed to. This is a highly conceptual film that is absolutely beautiful. The only reason anyone could possibly give this a negative rating is that they don't understand it and what it's supposed to be. This is probably one of my favorite movies of all time.… Expand

I walked out half way through. Note: I have never walked out of a movie; that's how bad it was!

Sean should be ashamed of himself being associated with this drek. Just abysmal.

I love fanatsy, but this is just plain ridiculous! What a mega bummer.

This movie is great, i've watched it sooooo many times and i just can't see why people don't like it. the story is simply breathtaking.

"It's a Winchester. Modified, American Style." "'Bomb' voyage!" "The sound of treachery!" "To that end, I set my wolf among you sheep." -- "Growl." Thanks again, Hollywood.

This was simply the most boring movie I've ever watched. It tries to cover up the boring parts with shiny effects. I wasn't fooled. It really sucks....ass..

This is definitely the only Sean Connery movie that I ever wanted to walk out on. I couldn't because I was with someone on a first date. She liked it. I never saw her again, in large part because she like it. I hated this movie. It was torture.

Sucked Big Time. One point for Sean for being brave enough to say the truth after it was made that it sucked.

I read the comic book, and thought it was decent, but i loved the premise.now this movie just sucks, no going around it. not even sean connery can save it, and the special effects are nothing compared to what we've all seen. whatever, i didnt like it.
