THE LEAGUE OF
EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN

With Sean Connery, Stuart Townsend, Jason Flemyng, Shane West Directed by Stephen Norrington

This fun, vibrant adventure throws together a motley bunch of well-known fictional characters (headed by Alan Quatermain) to thwart a warmonger. The characters include Dr. Jekyll (of Mr. Hyde fame), Captain Nemo, the invisible man, Dorian Gray (the immortal guy with the aging painting) and a female vampire. While they club together with Nemo's fantastic machines at their disposal (great elaborately designed submarine and car visual a highlight), there is a deceiver in their midst. Lots of enjoyable action but a little drawn out in parts.
