 DrBacchus’ Journal » The League of Gentlemen
Hi there, the league of extraordinary gentlemen and the league of gentlemen are DEFINATLY not connected.
I’ve been interested in seeing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so I was looking around on the web.
The League of Gentlemen has nothing in common with the League of Extradinary Gentlemen except that both the comic and the tv-show is penned by Brits.

 JoBlo's movie review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Sean Connery, Stephen Norrington
The film also moved pretty fast, to the detriment of the plot, which seemed to be missing scenes here and there.
I bring this up because the word "ambitious" kept floating through my mind as I watched this movie-- that and "How come this flick isn't entertaining me?" It wasn't long before I realized that the film ultimately just didn't enthrall, interest or engage me, despite its obvious ambitious efforts.
I did like how each of the characters in the "league" were introduced, how each was given his/her opportunity to share their "talents" with us and all, but the problem was that once things got going, I just didn't care about any of them.

 The Film Asylum - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film review
These are the names of the gentlemen that created and wrote the comic "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen".
The basic story element is a decent one and the start of the film does a good job of establishing the evil plot that the mysterious 'Phantom' is intent on executing.
At first glance one would have to say that a big name draw like Connery mixed with the Director of the first 'Blade' movie could do little wrong with a fantastical adventure film like this.

 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Film Review
LXG: THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is based on the brilliant premise spawned in the graphic novel by Alan Moore (FROM HELL).
Hyde (Jason Flemyng); Dorian Gray (Stuart Townsend) from Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray"; Captain Nemo (Naseeruddin Shah) from Jules Verne's masterpiece "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"; and, last but not least, Mark Twain's rebel roughneck Tom Sawyer (Shane West).
Its plot is tedious and disconnected; its attempt to cohere and bond the LEAGUE as a heroic force to love, admire, and be reckoned with is nonexistent; and even its marginal attempt to bring character to the characters is stilted and drab.

 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The (2003): Reviews
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.
Moore invested his characters with flaws, with a tangible humanity; God knows they never felt the need to explain themselves, as the film does, rendering it something akin to one long footnote.
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.

 NPR : Alan Moore
All Things Considered, July 12, 2003 · Among summer blockbusters featuring high-tech mayhem, time travel and green monsters is a film based on a comic novel combining Victorian-era nostalgia with superhero derring-do, plus a full measure of wit -- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Jess Nevins annotated the League series in his book, Heroes and Monsters: The Unofficial Companion to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Moore says the League series began as a way of putting together a heroic team that wasn't boring.

When Sean Connery explained on "Today" that he took a role in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" because the comic book the film is based upon was much better than any scripts he'd been getting, I thought he was kidding.
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" -- or "LoEG," as it's known to fans -- is a lightning-paced period adventure, dotted with some off-hand literary references to coax a smile out of book-loving moviegoers.
The picture dips a bit once the League is fully assembled and they take off for Venice to capture the Fantom before he can foil a multination conference that could avert war.

 MOVIE - THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN - Review Rating $$$1/2 (OUT OF 10)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, unfortunately, is so bad that it failed to meet, let alone exceed, my low expectations.
The 21st century version of the Nautilus is singularly unimpressive and pales in comparison to the sub featured in the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
I had very low expectations going into The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen based on the previews.

 IGN: The Stax Report: Script Review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The big-screen version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is being touted as a Victorian-era X-Men or as a sort of comic book Magnificent Seven.
Fans of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen who were hungry for movie news were fed quite a bitter treat back in October 2000.
Now, in my Special Edition on Comic Book Movies, I suggested that any film version of The League should adhere more closely to the comic books.

 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies
Dorian Gray was not a member of the League in their initial adventure, but is featured in the graphic novel, and does indeed join them in the second book.
New Characters: (3/5/02) This feature film version introduces at least one new major character not seen in the comic books: American police detective Thomas Sawyer (the grown up version of Mark Twain's Sawyer).
Filming will last there for 12-13 weeks, before moving on to Malta, Vienna and the U.K. (originally, there was going to be filming in Morocco and Iceland, but my guess is that the recent script changes were responsible for the changes).

 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Film Review
Originally published as a six-part comic book series in 1999, ‘The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ gave us an ingenious look at what might have happened to some of Victorian fiction’s greatest characters, had they decided to team up.
This film, like the sight of Mr Hyde, enraged and chained to the wall — should be approached with extreme caution.
After all, if you’re willing to go and see a film like this, then you kind of need to be able to stretch the truth slightly.

The Leaugue of Extraordinary Gentlemen film is copyright © 2003 20th Century Fox.
This is the first time we see the league in action, and it is a thunderously good fight sequence, high-lighted by individual action moments showcasing the various members.
Sure the lovable Cockney thief is a wretched film stereotype, but at least if it had been used to full effect there might have been a few more intentional laughs in the film.

 league of extraordinary gentlemen - film review for zone-sf.com
She turns away from the League upon completion of the act, shy of the details of her extraordinariness, living disgusted with herself, knowing how wrong it is, even if her heroic company is comprised chiefly of villains.
The League, as foresaid, is made up mostly of literary mischief makers, and a twist in the tale both makes sense and cancels the wrongness in it at the same time.
The Venice episode seems initially the most important episode in the film, yet still it is mid-adventure and inferred doubts continue upon many of the characters, played against the ludicrous destruction and troubling dependence appears to be falling on Quatermain and Sawyer who survive crashing buildings, enormous speeds, an upturned car and explosions.

 Notes on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #1
The cane is practically identical to the one used by March's version of Jekyll/Hyde in the film (indeed, it becomes the murder weapon you mentioned in your annotation as well as the vital clue to the killer's identity).
The submarine seen here is, of course, the Nautilus, the craft of Captain Nemo, of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea and its sorta-sequel The Mysterious Island.
But in the world of League Nemo is clearly an Indian, and that's that.

 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Film Review
What this film does is successfully assemble a group of prominent literary characters and turn them into a nineteenth century team of superheroes battling to save the world from villainy and terror.
Excellent presentation of the film and a few good extras to boot, including 2 feature length commentary tracks.
Close scrutiny of the story however is not advised as this highlights some holes in the plot and enables the whole story to fall apart a bit in terms of historical inaccuracies and of course the advent of automatic weapons, tanks and rockets.

 SoundtrackNet : League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
When combined, an adaptation of a well-regarded graphic novel, a cast led by the well-regarded Sean Connery and a score by well-regarded composer Trevor Jones all failed to produce a box office success with this past summer's fantasy film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  It is shame since the source material was quite inspired, Mr.
Hyde" and "Storming The Fortress".  Anyone who enjoyed Jones's furious orchestral styling from Dark City will find this most satisfying.   There is constant motion from all sections, but it never seems chaotic or haphazard, always managing to maintain its focus through each cue.
