Wait a minute, are we talking about an adaptation of Alan Moore’s exceptional comic that presents us with an adventure starring Allan Quatermain, Dr. Henry Jekyll, Captain Nemo and Dorian Gray? With Sean Connery leading the cast? Directed by Stephen Norrington, responsible for the wonderful ‘Blade’? Yeah? Sure success! Well no. Absolutely.
‘The League of Extraordinary Men’ had a good number of possibilities to end up succeeding artistically and commercially, one only has to review the elements mentioned in the first paragraph of this special, and precisely for this reason its tremendous failure is even more painful. in every sense. A boring film, without soul, energy, epic, emotion or anything even slightly resembling fun.
A capital disappointment that, apparently, was already seen coming from the first moment. Connery’s words: “The shoot was a nightmare. This experience was a big factor in my decision to retire, it made me think about show business. I got tired of dealing with idiots and from day one I realized that Stephen Norrington, the director, he was mad.” Impossible not to understand the longed for Sean.
