Movie Review: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[inverarity]

It sucked.

I've never read Alan Moore's comic. Was his story this ridiculous? It couldn't have been.

This movie was just a big cheese-fest of insulting stupid, with A-list actors trying to keep a straight face amidst the overwhelming special effects.

It was not quite Transformers-level badstupid, but it was baaaaad.

That's too bad. I'd been thinking of tracking this one down because the premise of all these characters interacting together intrigued me (though "grown-up Tom Sawyer" sounds like an oxymoron). Could some tastes find it to be "so bad it's good"?

I think it takes itself too seriously to be so bad it's good.

There are some okay fight scenes, but other than that, I saw no redeeming value in it.
