Movie Review: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

If you recognize that what you see on the screen is not meant to be true to life you will love this movie. Most critics seem not to recognize that this is true fiction and criticize its fantasy. When the main characters include a vampiress, Dr. Jekyll and and invisible man do you really expect them to truely depict the world the characters are set in?

Without ruining the movie for those who haven't seen it, I can say that if you are looking for a lot of action and fast-paced fun... this is the movie to see (though I can also recommend Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl)

At any rate, I thought it was 110 minutes and $6.00 well spent on good old fashioned fun. The ending obviously leaves the possibility of a sequel so I expect more of this super powered mayhem and action soon

Now that I have had my say, here's what another who saw LXG had to say about it:

"A fast- paced, action-packed drama chock full of witty banter; set in an unrealistic past. Sure to please the indiscriminating."

-Hillary Dishmon

"I thought that it needed more action, but it was a good movie. I liked the way it portrayed the charachters from literature."

-Tessa Bricker

"A trilling tale of mystery intreging suspense that leaves one tingling with anticipation of each character's next move. Two thumbs up!"

-Raymond Riddle
