The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a review by DVDsRGreat

Title: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Overview:
A hunter, a scientist, a vampire, an invisible man, an immortal, a spy, a beast... when a masked madman known as "The Fantom" threatens to launch global Armageddon, legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain commands a legion of superheroes, the like of which mankind has never seen.  Now, despite fighting their own personal demons - and each other - they must join forces to save the world.

I really enjoyed this one. Hadn't watched it before. I liked how they had brought together so many characters like the Invisible Man, Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde, Allan Quartarmain from various literature and even character's out of 20,000 Leagues under the sea and the Adventure of Sherlock Holmes. The pace of the movie was nice and the special effects were pretty good too. All in all a pretty good feature.

My Thoughts:
This is another one I bought last month but never got around to watching. Not really too much to say about this one... while it was ok... I wasn't overly impressed. It really isn't anything more then an average horror. Just basically another take on the backwoods horror. And there is definitely better then this for that sub-genre.

My Thoughts:
This is an ok episode... but was never one of my favorites. I found I just didn't care much about the main storyline. But it still has some entertaining moments.
