	League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a graphic novel (a word for comic used by men in their 40s to disguise the fact they still read such childish piffle), feature film and breakfast cereal that was sent back in time from the year 5000 A.D.H.D. by Jules Verne.
		The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which would later be renamed The Association of Androgynous Individuals that are No Greater nor Less than Anyone Else for the sake of political correctedness) is composed of five characters who are thought to be either dead, gay or retired (in Florida, no less).
		The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Bullcrap Dossier is avant-garde pornography.

		His plan is to round up a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to combat the threat of The Fantom and ensure world peace, by stopping him from destroying Venice.
		The league regroups at the Nautilus, where Quatermain reveals that "M" is behind the whole thing, when the near-dead Ishmael reveals that Gray is the traitor, not Skinner.
		In the film he is the leader of the league and is not recovering from an opium addiction as he is in the comic book.

	The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title and concept of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen may be inspired by The League of Gentlemen (the novel and subsequent film, not the unrelated comedic television series) as well as the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
		Sherlock Holmes and Dracula are notably absent from the League's adventures due to their deaths prior to the events of the series, though the former has a brother (Mycroft Holmes) in the League and appears in a flashback sequence, and the latter's connections to Wilhelmina Murray do not go unnoticed.
		The League is then convened at its headquarters in the "secret annexe" of the British Museum, where they are sent to recover a sample of cavorite from the clutches of Fu Manchu (who is not mentioned by name, for reasons of trademark).

	League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The (2003) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Set in Victorian England, the film centers around a team of extraordinary figures culled from great adventure literature who are recruited by a mysterious caller to stop a villain intent on turning the nations of the world against one another.
		One of the reasons the plot suffers is that the characters in the movie are referred to as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and this character is a strong enough character that in all likelihood you keep anticipating hearing her complain about that title.
		Each of the gentlemen (and the lady) had a flaw that the evil Fantom wished to duplicate and the character wished to eradicate.

	'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen'
		That is just one of the many oddities in "League," a fantasy that is overstuffed with extraordinary gentlemen and one vampiress and that seems to be aimed at a PG-13 audience that may have no clue about Dorian Gray or Allan Quatermain or Captain Nemo.
		Venice is soon falling like a house of cards, and the league must save the city, figure out if there is a traitor in their midst and then move on to the Fantom's fortress and base of operations.
		"League" became the subject of news stories for two unwanted reasons: catastrophic floods that struck Prague, ruined some sets and sent cast and crew fleeing, and the openly contentious relationship between Connery and the director.

		From London to Paris, Venice and then Asia, the League must not only uncover who the mysterious Phantom is, but what his true motives are and, of course, how to stop him.

		Another strong point is that “League” does a phenomenal job of bringing technology to a time where there wasn’t anything like what we have today.

	Amazon.co.uk: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Books: Alan Moore,Kevin O'Neill (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With the stunning The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it would be no exaggeration to say that Alan Moore has produced a near-perfect piece of adventure fiction that is clever, literate, rich with excitement and hard to put down.
		The concept is pretty outstanding: Moore's taken public-domain "heroes" of the 19th-century and remixed them into a classic superhero team in the spirit of Justice League, X-Men, etc. They are tossed into a steampunk version of Victorian London to do battle with a nefarious villain from the same era of genre-lit.
		Speaking of the back of the trade, Moore's loose handling of the comic medium (shown in Watchmen with his various article and book extracts) is evident, with a short story on an early adventure of Allan Quatermain's included, and some throwaway puzzles and bobs.

	IGN: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Review
		July 9, 2003 - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel miniseries of the same name by Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill.
		The League has been recruited by "M" (Richard Roxburgh), an enigmatic British intelligence operative, in order to stop The Fantom, a masked super-villain with an army of goons outfitted with weaponry years ahead of its time (World War II-era technology in 1899).
		As was also the case in the original comic books, The League realizes there's more going on than initially suspected: there turns out to be a traitor within their ranks.

		League begins as a smart variation on the summer blockbuster, then loses its nerve in a second half sure to satisfy neither cheap-thrill-seekers nor fans of neglected literary oddities.
		The irony of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is that it has the most literate pedigree of any action movie you're likely to see this year or next -- and it's been made by people who seem to have no sense of how to tell a story.

	Alan Moore, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," "Black Dossier" \| Salon Books
		The third volume in his "League" series with artist Kevin O'Neill is indeed not Moore's best comic ever -- it doesn't have the emotional force or formal coherence of "Watchmen" or "Lost Girls" or "V for Vendetta," and it doesn't pretend to.
		The premise of the first two "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" books (the first of which was made into an atrocious movie) was that, in 1898, England assembled a spy team from the era's pulp-literature characters: Mr.

		Moore and artist Kevin O'Neill are not trying to do the exact same sort of tone shift here — these are adventure stories in much the same spirit as the originals — but they do take advantage of their freedom from Victorian strictures.

	Jesusfreakhideout.com "LXG: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" Movie Review
		The League members are staunch individualists, outcasts in fact, with checkered pasts and singular gifts that have been both blessing and curse.
		Almost as Daredevil did earlier this year, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (or LXG) is less of your light-hearted superhero fanfare and more of the gritty, dark action adults might go for.
		The camera barely stays on a character long enough to allow you to figure out who is swinging their fists before your tossed to another shoddy encounter.

	Blu-ray Review: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen \| High-Def Digest
		This was precisely the question that intrigued reclusive comic-writer extraordinaire Alan Moore following his success with "The Watchmen." The resulting mini-series, 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,' was a masterwork that somehow managed to keep its premise genuinely compelling while turning fictional history on its ear.
		"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" was a flashy, mediocre, blaring attempt to cash in on a piece of pulpy brilliance that failed at almost every turn.
		Where the comic succeeded in moving beyond its X-Men influences with a careful attention to detail, the film version of 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' is mainly concerned with attracting the same audience that made Marvel's mutants a success at the box office.

	Amazon.fr : League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Livres en anglais: Alan Moore,Kevin O'Neill (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Of the half-dozen series acclaimed writer Moore created when he returned to mainstream comics in the late 1990s, the most impressive is the high-concept League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which posits that the fictional nineteenth-century figures Allan Quartermain (of Rider Haggard's She), Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
		Consequently it has nothing to do with the movie, which seems fair since the movie had relatively little to do with what now has to be referred to as Volume 1 of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." But then the movie merely copied the idea of the comics without capturing the magic.
		The great conceit that Moore and O'Neill came up with was to create a late 19th-century version of a group of superheroes based on literary creations from that time period (in many ways the opposite of the legendary "Watchmen" series).

	Review: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The
		The selling point of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - the names on the roster of that impressive-sounding institution - turns out to be little more than a gimmick.
		In a comic book, which is where The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen originated, this story might work, but, in a movie, it feels forced and overplotted.
		Aside from Quartermain, who is given a measure of humanity through his mourning the loss of a son, the members of the League are vaguely fleshed-out at best.

	Review: Moore and O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, reviewed by Bryan A. Hollerbach
		As noted, the stylish, angular art of League flowed from the pen of O'Neill, an alumnus of 2000AD (Rebellion Developments), who is perhaps so far best known for having co-created the superhero parody Marshal Law with writer Pat Mills.
		League, in fact, almost precisely occupies the midpoint on a conceptual continuum formed by Moore's most memorable recent works.
		More importantly, however, in May 2001, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen won a Bram Stoker Award in the "Illustrated Narrative" category from the Horror Writers Association (a "worldwide organization of writers and publishing professionals dedicated to promoting the interests of writers of Horror and Dark Fantasy," according to its Web site).

	Notes on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #1
		Auguste Dupin was the creation of Edgar Allen Poe; he was the brilliant French amateur detective, and appeared in "Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter." Poe, in the character of Dupin, is credited with establishing, to the greatest degree, the genre of detective fiction.
		Thomas Edison, of course, was the brilliant inventor and self-promoter who, with his associates, developed and created, in 1879, carbonized cotton thread as a filament for conducting electricity; this eventually led to the development of the electronic vacuum tube, and was directly responsible for electric lamps and lighting.
		I suspect that Quatermain's addiction to opium in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the result of his supply of the leaves being exhausted and his inability to get more.
