Product Description:
A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, a beast, an immortal and a spy are all included in this action-packed movie about superheros!
Amazon.com:
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

When choosing blu-ray disc you have to decide which are worth the investment. This one was not.

- An Exciting Thrill Ride For Literature Fans.
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 ...

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 ...
