League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The

 

USA 2003, 106 minutes
Dir. Stephen Norrington
Rating: [M]
Genres: Science Fiction, Action/Adventure

Topics: Superheroes.

 

Aroview: A swanky action-adventure in Victorian period dress that’s enticing premise teams up heroes and villains from classic fiction - Allan Quartermaine, Captain Nemo, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll, The Invisible Man, a Vampire Countess - in an alternative, turn-of-the-century universe where a monstrous enemy threatens world peace.

Adapted from a graphic novel (that’s a comicbook for grown-ups), the supreme line-up of characters are inevitably reduced to mere pawns in a game that is plotted mainly to exploit each of their extraordinary traits and very famous names. So forget any literary pedigree, they hardly survive the Hollywood mincing machine, but as pure hokum one could do worse.
