synopsis
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.
Other reviews
The large ensemble cast generally works together well, tackling their iconic literary figures in unique ways. The king of the hill is definitely Connery, who dominates the proceedings as the aging Quatermain. For a 73-year-old man, the actor can still pull off the dashing hero--never once do you feel his is out of his element. Yet, Connery works the age angle well, showing how Quatermain's lifelong experiences as an explorer--along with a great personal tragedy--has worn the adventurer down.

There was a squirming dude sitting next to me in the front mezzanine of the theater that was showing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Midway through the film, he plotted his escape. Surrounded on both sides by viewers with feet up and vats of popcorn on their laps, he squeezed through the bars in front of him and leapt to his freedom. Now that's a hero. For the rest of us, League did prove extraordinary in its rank ineptitude, crude computer effects and rude indifference to the dark Alan
