TOTALLY ROCKS! I must beg anyone who's at the movies to go see this flick! Shawn Connary rocks!


My favorite guys are Captain Nemo + The Invisible Man

I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it wasn't all too good from my friends who have seen it.

i love how the count dude walks through all the gunfire just slashing his sword in all directions.

BTW did you notice that all the carachters in that movie are from other novels?

Captain Nemo is from 10,000 (or 20) leagues under the sea and the ivisible man is from the invisible man book. And i forget the rest.

my assumption was that that was the point... the point being they've taken a bunch of semi-questionable people (not entirely bad.. not really good guys) and put them in a B movie supported by Sean Connery.

LXG is based on a comic book by the incredible Alan Moore. He's the guy responsible for such beautiful things as The Watchmen and From Hell. Every major character in the story is lifted gratuitously from other sources, though they are changed to make them more... Superhero-by-gaslight.

The story wasn't bad. The effects rocked. The character were incredible. Its totally worth seeing.


The main characters, btw, were:

-Alan Quartermain (british adventurer)
-Mina Harker (the girl Dracula had a crush on, now a kickass vampire)
-The Invisible Man (duh)
-Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (they also lay Hyde in as the monkey from the Murder at the Rue Morgue)
-Captain Nemo (20k Leagues under the Sea)
-Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain's little troublemaker)
-Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde's character. He didn't age, but his portrait did. Moore made him invulnerable, until he sees his portrait)
-M. (Yeah. The Bond Guy. Sorta. Well, you'll see)

Anyone who tell syou it sucked, obviously didn't realize they were watching late-19th century superhero comic book.

although most of the people i've spoken too thought it sucked, i thought it was a very, very good movie.

..........

Aside:
Where did you say the shot-guns were?

[Stealth]

have you seen American Wedding an0n?  you'd like it.

[Galemp]

Tom Sawyer?!

[Stealth]

i was thinking that too, but then i remembered that guy that really had no special talent.  the one that drove the car and planted the bomb near the end of the movie... i couldn't remember his name, so perhaps he was Tom Sawyer?

[Knight Templar]

Strangely, that gives me great ideas for a revised Tom & Huck book....

[J.F.K.]

Oh man, I can't wait for LXG. It's on my must-see list for sure, you guys just confirm it.

[Sandwich]

Saw it in the states, and am waiting for it to come out here to see with my friends. Loved it.

[diamondgeezer]

I'm 'legally aquiring' it, out of curiosity

I heard they were having a car-chase in Venice, as well as moving the nautilus through the canals there.
A bit hard if you know venice

well, yeah everything's a bit too narrow and cluttered. boats and dead animals floating everywhere :doubt ( no, it's not a joke, I can tell you in certain areas, the damn city stinks ).

There is an interesting flaws involving ages in that movie
Tom Sawyer would have to be at least in his 50s, considering Huck went down the Mississippi with an escaped slave, placing those books before 1863.

It's a comic for pete's sake - a cartoon with real actors! Lisa Simpson's still 7 years old after 13 years!

[neo_hermes]

barts like 22 years old

[StratComm]

What's really funny is that bart's voice is done by a woman.  So he never has to age.
