league of ordinary rubbish
Yes, I saw it and I hated it. What was most depressing was how good
the special effects and visuals were. If they could have just have
written a good script to go with the F/X I'd be happy. Every character
they added or changed significantly enough to lose what made them so
great in the comic.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic is one of my favorites of all time, so I was scared when I heard that it was being adapted for the big screen. How right I was to be scared. The movie totally missed everything that made LOEG a great comic. Rather than stick with a strong female leader like Mina Murray and a drug-addled Alan Quartermain, they opt for a tough guy and super-vampire woman interpretation. Do yourself a favor and stick with the trade paperback.
