Plot |
It's 1889 and the world is on
the verge of a World War thanks to the evil "Fantom".
A gentlemen, M, is rounding up a group of "Extraordinary Gentlemen"
to stop him from taking over the world. This group includes Allan
Quatermain, Capt Nemo, Rodney Skinner (an Invisible Man), Dr. Henry
Jekyll/Edward Hyde, Mrs. Harker (a Vampire), Dorian Gray (an immortal)
and Tom Sawyer. Apparently this is another in a long string of movies
based on comic books that I haven't read (I never was one for comic
books) so you won't find a comparison between the film and the comic
book here.

Pros |
There are a ton of really cool special effects intermixed with plenty of witty one-liners. If you're hunting for an over-the-top action movie, look no further.
|
Cons |
This movie is what it is; don't look for a deep plot or hidden meanings. |
Extras |
- Commentary by Jackie West, Steve Johnson, John Sullivan, Ian Hunter & Matthew Gratzner

- Making-Of Featurette

Recommendation |
Pop some popcorn, turn down the lights and the brain cells, crank up the volume and enjoy the ride. Take time to check out "The Making Of" featurette to find out what two movies Sean Connery turned down and how those decisions prompted him to accept this role. |
