(read more) Allan Quatermain, the world's greatest adventurer, leads a legion of superheroes the likes of which the world has never seen. Quatermain's extraordinary League is comprised of Captain Nemo, Dracula vampiress Mina Harker, an invisible man Rodney Skinner, American secret service agent Sawyer, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and M--the League's enigmatic recruiter. The League members are staunch individualists, outcasts in fact, with checkered pasts and singular gifts that have been both blessing and curse. Now they must learn to trust each other and work as a team for the very hope of civilization. With little preparation and no time to lose, they will be transported via Captain Nemo's extraordinary submarine, the Nautilus, to the frontline of defense: Venice, Italy. There, a masked madman known as the Fantom plans to sabotage a conference of world leaders by setting off a domino chain of explosions, sinking the entire city. The threat is catastrophic, the risks are staggering. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has 96 hours to save the world.

Could've been so much better. A lot of awesome characters brought together for a mediocre movie.
I can't believe that this was Sean Connery's Last film. Upsetting to say the least.
i usually don't give up on movies but i stopped watching this after an hour. the concept is good but the execution is just plain bad
I like this movie..... fun to see all persons that not ordinary
Critic Reviews
The movie, alas, isn't extraordinary at all; it's just dull, a little mystifying, and more than a little cheesy.full review
The League is a movie to enjoy, then to root for and finally to be disappointed by.full review
Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.full review
Just when it seems about to become a real corker of an adventure movie, [the movie] plunges into incomprehensible action, idiotic dialogue, inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy.full review
Much dumber and pulpier than the comic book on which it's based.full review
