DVD Reviews of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: An Exciting Thrill Ride For Literature Fans.
Summary: 5 Stars

Academy Award winner & 7-time James Bond Sir Sean Connery stars in a thriller designed for fans of classic literature ("King Solomon's Mines,"
"Moby Dick," "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea," "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," "Dracula" and more). Crowd-pleasing dynamite fun for the whole family. Sure, the action is intense, but nothing 10 year-olds can't handle. Also, this movie might inspire the uninitiated to READ these classics of 18th-century literature. Very well-done movie. Only minor negative is that there's no commentary for the deleted scenes, explaining why they were cut from the movie. Other than that, this film is a submarine of fun (pun intended). Rated PG-13, but should have been rated PG.

DVD Review: No Wonder Allan Moore Hates Hollywood
Summary: 1 Stars

This is one of THOSE movies...If you are familiar with the source material,then you're going to be severely let down by the way they took such a marvelous title and turned it into this silly overdone(yet inexplicably drab)piece of film.If you're not familiar with the source material and were just hoping for a fun and exciting action-packed extravaganza,you're still barking up the wrong tree.It's a good concept...a group of famous fictional characters from literature (Allan Quartermain,Dr. Jeckle and Hyde,Dorian Grey,etc.)brought together to fight the good fight around the turn of the 20th century.The premise?Fantastic.The finished product?Poorly executed,making it a movie not worth watching.Honestly.

DVD Review: SICK MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars

All I can say about this movie is that it is amazing. I usually don't write reviews, but I clicked to this movie and saw so many negative comments, so I had to do something about it. This movie includes a bunch of fictional characters that everyone has heard about at least most of. I currently own the DVD and it is without a doubt the best quality picture of all my DVDs. I can only IMAGINE how great the quality is of it on blu-ray, and I am actually contemplating buying it. Sean Connery, La Femme Nikita, and you can even tell your girlfriend the guy from A Walk To Remember is in it. Enjoy.

DVD Review: League
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is great. I have watched it more than once like 3 or 4 times. Sure wish there was a Part II.

DVD Review: Blu Ray Review
Summary: 4 Stars

LOEG has one of the best transfers to Blu Ray. Top notch picture quality, top notch sound quality. You can see the vast difference between the standard definition & Blu Ray.

Blu Ray wins Hands down...

Description of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Widescreen Edition)

A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, a beast.when a masked madman known as "The Fantom" threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) commands a legion of superheroes, the likes of which mankind has never seen.

Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they mush join forces to save the world. Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking, "thrill-a-minute" (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) extravaganza loaded with "eye-popping effects and amazing action!" (Bill Bregoli, Westwood One)

The heroes of 1899 are brought to life with the help of some expensive special effects in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. From the pages of Victorian literature come Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll (and his alter ego Mr. Hyde), Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, an Invisible Man, Mina Harker (from Dracula), and the hunter Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), all brought together to combat an evil megalomaniac out to conquer the world. Hardly an original plot, but perhaps that's fitting for a movie sewn together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie rushes from one frenetic battle to another, replacing sense with spectacle--Nemo's submarine rising from the water, a warehouse full of zeppelins bursting into flame, Venice collapsing into its own canals; flashy, dumb, and completely incoherent. Fans of the original comic book will be disappointed. Also featuring Peta Wilson, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Richard Roxburgh, and Jason Flemyng. --Bret Fetzer
