The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

This was everything you want in a summer popcorn movie. So what if it has some logic holes. Over all, it's loud, lots of colors and special effects and most important has characters you can root for and against. As a bonus you get literary allusions throughout. I thought the biggest negative was the intense action scene cutting that didn't give you a chance to absorb what you were seeing before switching to something else. Several times it left me quesy.

I have been waiting and waiting to purchase this DVD site unseen, but bad reviews and my husband stopped me. I found the DVD on sale at Target today for $7.50USD, and viewed it while my kids were napping. I had very low expectations for this movie, and there were times some cheesy dialog, ending, and character development reinforced my expectations. However, what made this movie an 8 out of 10 were the actors, who were actually very good, well casted, and brought an earnestness to their roles. I also really enjoyed many of the fighting scenes. There were some weak plot points, but overall this was a truly enjoyable experience. I would recommend this movie to anyone who asked me.
