Bad Movie Monday: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
League
of Extraordinary Gentlemen starts off by introducing us to the legendary
Sean Connery. Connery then sleep walks through this film and tries to forget
that he ever took part in it. Apparently, the film is based on a comic book
and we all know the sure-fire Hollywood equation: Comic Book + Half-assed Script=
Blockbuster! But there was no blockbuster to be had with this pile of garbage.
The cast of superheroes includes: Sean Connery, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, a Vampire, a Werewolf, The Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, and Tom Sawyer. The story really doesn't matter. It is terrible.
Highlights: Tom Sawyer driving a car; Sean Connery kicking ass; The Invisible Man's make-up; Captain Nemo's beard; Did Sean Connery really die?; Sequel? (Possibly, straight to video.)
Best Line: I call it...my Auto-MO-bile.

Shouldn't the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen be L.E.G. instead of L.X.G?
