The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Jul. 13th, 2003 03:35 pmSaturday morning, Lut and I went to see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I had very high hopes for this movie. I love fantasy, Alan Moore -- who wrote the graphic novel on which this film was based -- is an excellent writer, I have a great fondness for 19th century literature, and, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lady_anne put it: "Personally, I'd pay to watch Sean Connery read the labels on cereal boxes".
On the whole, the film was enjoyable and worth seeing, but I wasn't as happy with it as I'd hoped to be. It was, however, at least as good as "Terminator 3" or "X-Men 2". (Or X-Men 1, for that matter. Not as good as, say, "Terminator 2", though.)
( A few more details on what I liked and didn't like about it. No spoilers, but cut for those who don't like to hear ANYTHING about a movie they're going to see )
