Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

trickyrik73 Firstly I am a massive Alan Moore fan and although this film strayed somewhat from the source material I don't think it deserves the drubbing it received. Yes the M character is a little fleshless but so is pretty much every bond villain ever. The Tom sawyer character is also a little annoying/cheesy but the rest of the cast holds up pretty well. I know I'm a little late reviewing but I just read an article that stated this film was the reason Sean Connery retired from acting.....if true, douche move Connery. The Dorian Grey character is both sinister and intriguing and Stuart Townsend nailed it. Okay, okay Peta Wilson I concede is terrible but she always has been so it came as no great shock and you get the feeling Connery phoned it in but the film is entertaining regardless

Arshad Usmani (arshadtheneo) The concept of this movie is good. A team full of extraordinary gentlemen and one lady. The movie feels good in parts but not as a whole. We can feel that it has been taken from a comic books as the dialogues are broken like in comic books. But that is the style of comic books. That feels good there. But in this movie nothing is smooth. Things happen too fast at sometimes. Characters are poorly build. We don't even feel the way about Tom Sawyer as we did in Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.' I was looking at this movie with great expectation but was only disappointed. But the movie is not overall bad as it portrays some good steampunk cinematography and art. Mina Harker's flight in the night sky is really extraordinary. Naseeruddin shah also portrayed good swordsmanship against automatic guns. But the storytelling was bad and no attachment can be seen between the League members.

viennashade The trailers make this look good. I didn't watch them until after seeing the movie, but if I had I would have been expecting an action-packed roller coaster ride! No doubt they were made by a company expert in movie trailers. without the lame plot.It has the feel of having been written by a teenager. Not to say that teenagers haven't written some good stuff, but I think it was about as fantastical as a world created by some dude one night in his underwear for dungeons and dragons.That there would be such teamwork (with no promise of serious monetary gain, no less) pushes the boundaries of incredulity farther than I will allow. This was an extraordinarily well-behaved and cooperative (though disorganized) band of criminals. I think the League of Women Voters might have made a more formidable enemy. With no real motivation, they were not only willing but gung ho to do this thing, at all costs. Even Mr. Hyde could be easily sweet-talked into submission.Broken down into its simple elements, there is nothing cunning about the plot. In fact, all I could do was find fault with it. It seems like it would have been easier just to get their samples individually, without assembling them for this pretend mission.No suspense until the second half, but by then I was already wishing it would be over, and I kept wishing that from there on in. In fact, the parts at the end I was really hating.So many things didn't add up. I know it's supposed to be an "alternate reality" premise, but things need to at least make sense, or have a plausible explanation. Instead, they just seemed to be hastily making things up things as they went along, to try to explain away this or that discrepancy, resulting in a jumbled mess.

Mark Pharsen This review is by somebody whom has NOT read the comic/novel!!When I read the title and the summary on IMDb while just browsing, I just had to watch this. I came in with the expectation of seeing something along the lines with "Watchmen", but one thing I never could have seen coming, was that this was the worst superhero movie I would ever see. The film starts out like any other "We must assemble a team of the best" but soon becomes a cliché mess, as Connery becomes the "I'm retired" guy. The rest of the cast is mediocre at best, with most having little to none back story. The bad guy in this movie is just horrible, while having NO back story, is also just a vague parody of bad guys from other movies. The movie also has a plot twist that revolves around The Phantom, but it was so bad, that I began to think that this movie was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Now, the only reason this movie does not get a 1 out of 10, is the sometimes awesome fight-scenes, and special and visual effects. The special effects are very inconsistent. They can at times be way ahead of their time and other times look like something out of a poorly made 1980'ies B-movie. The script I think is the worst part of the movie. It seems like every line of dialog has to start with a one-liner in this movie and that gets very annoying after a while. I would NOT recommend this movie to anyone but action-lovers, as some of the fight-scenes was very well done. (I am sorry for any grammar issues, I am not from an English speaking country)
