The League of Extraordinary GentlemenWho's in it: Sean Connery, Naseedruddin Shah, Peta Wilson, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, Richard Roxburgh
What's it about: After being recruited by M(Roxburgh), a group of six men and one woman are sent to find the Phantom who's been terrorizing Europe. Allan Quatermain(Connery) is a hunter, Captain Nemo(Shah) is a transportational genius, Skinner(Curran) is an invisible man, Dorian Gray(Townsend) is invinsible, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde(Flemyng) is a monstrous genius, Tom Sawyer(West) is an American spy with a hunters eye, and Mina(Wilson) is a vampiric scientist. Together they have to do everything in their power to stop him before the Phantom markets off his evil machinery.
What I Think: This is pretty much the first movie I can remember seeing Connery in. Everyone is always talking about him but I never know who he is. I really liked Townsend! His character was so confident and he was just really good looking. The story was really entertaining. I loved pretty much everything about it. The twists were perfectly placed. The personalities of each character were so specifically supposed to make you come to conclusions about the movie and then prove you wrong. One thing that I didn't like about this was that the movie title didn't mention Mina. It says specifically "Gentlemen". Without Mina they wouldn't have been able to defeat the bad guys at all if you think about it. The female needs recognition too. Men can't always do it by themselves.
