Stephen
Norrington's THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN
begins in 1899 London where, due to some cataclysmic
events in England and Germany, the world is on the brink
of war. Mycroft Holmes (Richard Roxburgh) is sent by the
British government to round up various figures from
Victorian-era literature in an attempt to find some
solution.
First on the list is
explorer Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), quickly
installed as leader of the ramshackle outfit. Among the
plethora of mythical figures joining Quatermain are The
Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, Jekyll and Hyde, Dorian
Gray, and many others. Initially the League are sent to
Prague to prevent a series of bombs from exploding,
causing some spectacular set pieces as the merry band of
rogues use all their special skills to fend off the evil
forces. This is only the start of their journey however,
and there are plenty of surprises for these courageous
battlers, not least when they discover who is really
behind all the chaos they have tried so hard to control.
Working with material from comic book veteran Alan Moore
(who also penned FROM HELL), director Norrington (BLADE)
draws on some interesting traits and legends from his
characters, such as Dorian Gray's painting and Dr.
Jekyll's potion. Making sure each member is far from
infallible, Norrington paints a sympathetic portrait of
flawed heroes battling against the odds, with some
spectacular action sequences, and humorous asides!!
