Description:
A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, a beastÂ...when a masked madman known as 'The Fantom' threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) commands a legion of superheroes, the likes of which mankind has never seen.
Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they mush join forces to save the world. Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking, 'thrill-a-minute' (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) extravaganza loaded with 'eye-popping effects and amazing action!' (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One)

The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr. Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, an Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from Dracula), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all brought together to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. Hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals; flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. Also featuring Peta Wilson, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Richard Roxburgh, and Jason Flemyng. --Bret Fetzer

Here's the premise. Let's take as many late Victorian science fiction and fantasy characters as we can and put them together into an action movie. This seems like it would be really cool. The writers throw in a few half-clever references to the original works here and there, but characters mostly get to their supernatural powers. Character development is minimal since we've got to fit 6 or 7 characters into a regular-length movie plus lots of fighting and explosions.

Definitely a rent, but not a keeper. This one's good the first time you see it and the second or third time showing it to friends, after that, meh'.

I have say that this is one of the worse Sean Connery movie that I have ever watch.
Rating: -
This is not for fans of the comic book if you takes your comics to seriously. But I found the movie fun, adventerous and a good escape from reality. If you like sir sean connery, or just like to hear him talk its a good investment.
Rating: -
One of the most interesting and innovative comic books in the last twenty years reduced to a television level script and acting/directing that will be prime fodder for some future incarnation of Mystery Science Theatre. Has to be seen to understand how really awful it is. It's yet another example of Hollywood buying a popular property, then ditching everything that made it a success in the first place.
