The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)

You know those pre-release reports you may have heard about this film? And the mostly negative reviews it received upon its release? Well, slap my ass and paint me blue, 'cause they're all fuckin' true. The only extraordinary thing about this film is its stupidity, even by summer movies standards. What makes it unbearable are its apparent stabs at high-minded literary wit and how badly they're botched -- I mean, come on... "Call me Ishmael"? With Captain Nemo? Fuck you, movie.

Grade: D
