The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Victorian Avengers

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen failed so spectacularly it ended two careers — that of the legendary actor Sean Connery and its director, Stephen Norrington.

Based on a comic co-written by Alan Moore, the property had the bonafides to be more than just dispensable popcorn theater.

Sadly, a disastrous production—plagued by delays and abusive behaviors from its star— ultimately relegated it to the dustbin of comic book movie history.

Despite its troubled path to screens, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is not entirely unwatchable. The seams of a decent film are scattered throughout. They just can't escape the pedestrian script and abominable CGI.

Now, sit back, Hyde-up with a M-43 from Old Nation Brewing, and burn that grotesque painting! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are hellbent on committing evil shenanigans across the globe!
