League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I think this film has a decent beginning, and then suffers badly from the character development/interaction standpoint in trying to derive some form of "mystery" subplot as the LXG try to stem the tide from the backdrop plotline that sort of goes nowhere interesting.

The actions scenes are chaotic, but nimble in some spots, while also being a bit too dark and murky to make out what's really going on.

It was sort of hard to connect with almost any of the underwritten characters (though Connery tries hard to make us care about his Quartermain character and the promising lives he's seen cut short in his lifetime of adventures), and when the plot gets moving, there seemed to be some scenes cut that would have smoothed out the plot transitions.

I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C, mainly for the action sequences.
