The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
was unjustly overlooked when it opened in theatres last summer. Based on the
graphic novel by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, the 2003 film features a group of
19th century literary characters, such as Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and friend),
"an" (not "the") Invisible Man, Tom Sawyer and Dorian Gray, led by H. Rider
Haggard's Alan Quartermain (Sean Connery) to stop a dangerous criminal from
starting a world war in 1899 Europe. Full of exciting stunts, effects and
in-jokes (catch the name of Nemo's first mate),
League is a terrific fantasy/adventure from beginning to end!
