The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen


At first, I was some of the members of this league had a familiar name, but then I realized that all them were familiar.  This is a pretty neat concept, yet the plot of the film fails to gain traction and keep your interests for long.  There was supposed to be a shock once the true betrayer was revealed, but because the characters have only appeared for a short while and lack any sort of character development that the viewers can grow with, it wasn't much impact.  You're eagerly waiting for the league to form properly and all the members band together, yet when they do, what happens next is dull.  The antagonist is weak and he never feels too much of a threat.  Set in 1899, the level of technology the scientist Captain Nemo has, is way too advanced. Yeah, so he specializes in science, but it can't explain how his machines seem even more advance, at times, than modern day counterparts.  The film is lacking interaction between the characters, the funny quips back and forth the members.  They also didn't display how well they function as a team.  This is an average movie, with not much cause for watching.
