| 1) Posted by: Joel July 18, 2003 4:58 PM Normally, I'm with Scott. Today, I am not. I enjoyed this movie very, very much. The cinematography is excellent, and you are unlikely to see a prettier major summer release. I didn't find the computer animation distracting, even if the uber-Hyde does look a tad cartoony. A lot of the drama and character pieces are implied, not stated. I appreciate having a movie not hit me upside the head with a large dead fish to make a point, only to repeat the process three or four times for the boneheads behind me who still don't get it. It was refreshing to not be roughed up by the exposition. Granted, I may be something of a steam age fan and more prone to like the movie. I expect those of you not interested in that sort of thing will likely have found other summer cinematic fare, anyway. |
| 2) Posted by: mat July 22, 2003 4:52 PM Every time I see the preview for this one, I think: A) This is gonna be the most amazing movie I've seen in a long time. or B) This is gonna be most annoying movie I've seen in a long time. I'm gonna have to see it, but it has an feeling about it that reminds me of "The Time Machine" - a movie that I was so hyped to see and left feeling really empty and disappointed. I hope you're wrong Scott, but for some reason, I get the feeling you're take on it is spot on. :( |

| 4) Posted by: Katherine October 3, 2003 8:25 AM THis was an extremely disappointing movie. I went in with hopes of seeing great literatery figures come to life but instead i saw a shocking action film with no depth in the characters at all. They completely bastardised some of the characters- what the hell was with Mr Hyde. Hyde isn't meant to be huge. He's meant to be a small man. And they made him into a mindless thug with feelings not the epitome of pure evil. What was the point of bringing the character into the movie if they completely change what hes originally like?? And what the hell did Sawyer bring to the film, was he even in the comic novel??? |
| 5) Posted by: Katherine October 3, 2003 8:28 AM By the way, Stuart Townsend is really amazingly hot. PHWOAR! |
| 6) Posted by: Shannon October 3, 2003 8:34 AM I havent seen this movie yet but, stuart townsend is a BABE. |
| 7) Posted by: katherine October 3, 2003 8:38 AM Thank you very much shannon for agreeing with me, i can tell you are a very gorgeous girl-and i dont even know you!! |
| 8) Posted by: Alejandro October 8, 2003 8:51 PM I thought the movie was amazing and the effects were cool. I think all the comments here that talk bad about the movie is that they are ****, and that they definetely dont like action and only like drama because if they like ACTION they would have liked it. The effects were cool and Sean Connery was amazing, and yeah I think Sawyer was a mistake but otherwise the movie was EXTRAORDINARY. |
| 9) Posted by: Nikkon October 12, 2003 12:16 PM i havent seen this movie yet but the advertisements seem to make it look really cool, and i dont care about the plot, i just wanna see some cool charas ^-^ |
| 10) Posted by: paz October 31, 2003 1:49 PM listen dude the film was based on a comic book, that means characters are always in impossible situations its what they do, and the directors wouldn't take stuff from the novels because its based on the comic, and there was more than one issue, so there will be more than one film, it was just to set the scene. |
| 11) Posted by: paz October 31, 2003 2:04 PM oh yeah, Katherine the grphic novel came first there were actuall issues and sawyer came in them. |
| 12) Posted by: Yue December 17, 2003 4:22 PM i liked it a lot!!! veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrry fast moving and altogether one of the best movies ever save for the fact that everyone had a strange obsession with mina :) |
| 13) Posted by: Renée.S. December 30, 2003 11:14 PM This is the best movie ever!The affects were amazing,and Shane West is so HOT. |
| 14) Posted by: Renée Sawyer December 30, 2003 11:17 PM Scott your crazy, ususally i dont question the way people think but come on it was based on a comic, hello. |
| 15) Posted by: Eric January 3, 2004 5:05 PM I think you're wrong. LXG was a great movie. Bringing every good character made together in one movie? I mean, what could be better than that. The actors are great for the roles, and I hope they make a second. |
| 16) Posted by: meirubc February 3, 2004 3:56 PM it sucks |
| 17) Posted by: Indiana Matt February 17, 2004 10:15 PM The problem is not enough of the main characters are drawn out enough...too many characters at one time. I'll go through each of the league in turn. Quartermain: Well being the leader, his character is drawn out very well. But he's got the same "lost a loved one, I hate you all" mentality that EVERY action hero does. His character in the movie doesn't match the graphic novel's character. In the novel, he's a disillusioned drug addict. Nemo: Nemo is too basic. "I want to stop war." There you go, character explained. He's pretty much there for the Nautilus. There are a lot of elements that don't get explained that should: his worship of Kali, his past as a pirate, all get left at wayside. The car's nice, though. Skinner: Skinner's funny, but again, too basic. Be a good boy, and he'll be forgivened for past wrongs. Woopie. He's pretty much there for comic relief. (Although he indirecetly saves the day several times, like when he sneaks abord Gray and M's ship) Sawyer: Sigh...this doesn't really match his book character at all...Oooo...look at me, I'm a secret agent! I never felt even remotely attached to his character, and yet he's the one who gets the best connection with Quartermain, and he gets to take out the main bad guy. Kinda ticks me off. Jekyll: Jekyll's personal struggle is one of the highlights of the movie...having to deal with your power hungry alternate ego was a great side story. Halfwat through, though, Hyde becomes nice for no apparent reason. Why? Hyde is EVIL! Okay? Not good, EVIL! Gray: Again, too basic. Ooo, I'm immortal. Ooo, I'm a traitor. I'm glad your face melted off, retard. Mina: Mina's my favorite. Somewhat of an intriguing story to tell, and a great connection with most of the other characters. Nothing to complain about over here. Overall, it was an okay movie. Not great, but not bad. Personally, I love action movies that have a great personal story as well, such as all three Indiana Jones movies. (Last Crusade especially) The LXG movie just seemed too bland. |
| 18) Posted by: Indiana Matt February 17, 2004 10:18 PM While I'm at it...let me just say that ALL the writers whose characters were in this movie are probably rolling in their graves right now! |
| 19) Posted by: Cassandra February 23, 2004 7:43 PM I love this movie. I think it was well done. |
| 20) Posted by: Dean Calcutt March 2, 2004 3:42 PM I admit I missed this at the cinema and have only just caught the dvd of it but I really liked it, I also loved the graphic novel but feel it was probably unfilmable (as is vol II), I hope there is a sequel but dont expect to see Quatermain in it as Connery wont do another due to his experiences on this one |
| 21) Posted by: Adrian March 29, 2004 5:30 PM Was this movie a joke?!It sucked so bad...c'mon the movie had a car |
| 22) Posted by: get xombiefied April 7, 2004 5:44 PM saw the movie it sucked,well not really it was okay,but i didn't really like it. |
| 23) Posted by: Sarah April 9, 2004 5:51 AM I liked this movie very much. I have yet to read the Graphic Novel but I really want too...But, to all those people that said the Movie sucked: BAKA YAROUS!!!(That's japanese...) |
| 24) Posted by: get xombiefied April 13, 2004 4:25 PM what does BAKA YAROUS mean.there might be a sequeal to the movie. |

| 27) Posted by: amber January 28, 2006 8:55 PM the league of extraordinary gentlemen was a great movie and I took my mother to see it and she thought it was real good and also Stuart, tony, jason and Shane are the hottest actors along with Seann Connery. Rock on |
| 28) Posted by: amber January 28, 2006 9:04 PM Shane and Stuart at the premiere looked like they were close in a family when filming the movie. Sawyer: he was like the rookie of the group Gray: He's was Plain TROUBLE in a good way Stuart Quartermain: He was like the leader of the pack and showed alot of help to Sawyer Jekyll: He is the beefy guy who works out GO Jason Skinner: He's different harker: She kicks Butt!!!!! |
