The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

When The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was released, it sounded fun, but not worth the price of a movie ticket, especially with our busy schedule. But last night, FX showed it in what they claimed was the world broadcast premier, so I watched it.

For those who like a good adventure with a gang of superheroes, it’s well worth watching. Of course, it doesn’t have much to do with what is in the original comic by Alan Moore, but I do think they captured the spirit of “Let’s throw together a bunch of Classic Heroes™ and other not-so-heroic, but still famous, characters and ask them to save the world by fighting both a Master Villain® wielding Superior Technology™ and treachery within their ranks.”
