It’s been a good year for comic-book fans, cinematically speaking. Such luminaries as Spider-Man, Daredevil, the X-Men, and the Hulk have all rampaged across the silver screen in the last 12 months, and today we get one more: the highly anticipated LXG.
Here’s a primer for those of you who haven’t TiVo’ed every episode of the Superfriends. LXG is based on a comic book entitled The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which hit the shelves a few years back and chronicled the adventures of a late-19th-century crime-fighting team composed of the most remarkable literary characters of the Victorian Age: Allan Quartermain, hero of King Solomon’s Mines, H.G. Wells’s Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, and the legendary Captain Nemo. Together they travel the world, interact with the fictitious creations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe, and even come to loggerheads with the Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu.

ebert put this film on his "top ten worst films" list.
Has anyone see this film??
What is so bad about it?? (usually Sean connery can pull a movie through...well, except for the avengers)
I don't usually put a lot of stock in what the critics say, I rely more on word of mouth.
You didn't like the Avengers? I guess the super hero fan in me is the reason I did. I especially loved the scene on the stairs when Ness asked his guy, "You got him?" "Yeah, I got him." BANG! Right between the eyes!
For the same reasons, I want to see LXG. I loved the original novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Extremely well written, none of the movies ever did it justice. Isn't Mina Murray- Harker, from Dracula one of the Characters? I thought that was who Peta Wilson played. MEOW!
My tastes never really conicided with official critics. I guess they look for stuff i don't really care for in a movie.
Most movies Ebert (and the other guy too) give thumbs up are snoozers to me anyway.
I prolly gonna go see The League tomorrow and will post my impression of it.
