From a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen review at work

[andrewducker]

In conclusion if they gave me a choice of seeing this again, Dungeons and Dragons the Movie or a quiet room with a girly magazine and a fist full of broken glass I'd have to say, show me the glass.

Needless to say, I won't be watching it.  Ever.

It had its moments, and it did have Johnny Depp. That being said, I've always thought the premise for the comic brilliant, but what I've read of it I've found awkwardly executed -- odd, because I like Alan Moore. But the movie took that awkwardness and implausibility, and multiplied it by five thousand, and not even Ladysmith Black Mambazo and a few spouts of clever dialogue could bring it back to us.

What I'm saying is that I should have known better, and it's two hours of my life I'll never get back. But at least I was smart enough to avoid Dungeons and Dragons.

But it has Sean Connery in it! How can any movie go wrong with Scotland's favourite tax-dodger as a star?

Wise choice.

It wasn't THAT bad...
It wasn't very good, but...glass? ouch. No.

I thought it was great fun. In the same kind of way that Bulletproof Monk was. You know, saturday matinee kind of material. Fuuuun.

Coward!

And the Jekyll/Hyde scenes are superb.

It's not that bad. I enjoyed it. I am bemused -- I don't know why the critics lambasted it. I guess it's this year's whipping boy.
