How do you feel about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?
Overview
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Storyline
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen brings together iconic literary figures including Allan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo and Dr. Jekyll as a secret team assembled to stop a global war. Based on the comic by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, it transforms Victorian fiction into a comic-book-style team adventure filled with monsters, gadgets and impossible heroes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a IDW Publishing screen adaptation from 2003, sitting in the wider Comic Movie DB archive as one of the movie entries that helps connect page-to-screen storytelling beyond the obvious cape-and-cowl crowd. The page is especially useful for readers tracking the people involved, with Jason Flemyng, Naseeruddin Shah, Peta Wilson, Sean Connery, Shane West, Stuart Townsend, Tony Curran among the main names connected to the project. Behind the camera, Stephen Norrington gives the adaptation its shape, helping define whether it leans more into spectacle, character drama, genre thrills or straight-up comic-book chaos. We have rated this 7 out of 10, which makes it a worthwhile entry to revisit when comparing how well comic properties translate across different studios, eras and audience expectations. For SEO and fan discovery, it belongs here because it adds context to the bigger comic movie timeline: not every adaptation has to be perfect, but each one says something about the genre, the audience it was chasing and the kind of stories studios believed could work on screen.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Review 7/10
We have rated this 7 out of 10. League is messy, ambitious and far more entertaining than people remember. Sean Connery gives it old-school blockbuster weight, while the concept itself is still brilliant enough to carry the entire film. It is basically Victorian Avengers before that was a thing. Alan Moore hated the adaptation, which is practically tradition, but as a pulpy adventure movie it still works. It also carries that extra strange legacy as Connery’s final live-action role.
