League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl.... but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there's a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.

Huh. I enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen myself, but never really thought to look up the reviews. I never had any idea that movies was so disliked by reviewers. I suppose I've found the movie I liked but everyone else seems to think is terrible.

It has a lot going for it, and a really great setting/foundation for a thing.

I gotta read those comics sometime.

Yes I remember enjoying this movie. I loved all of the characters from legends and stories, as well as all of its steampunk elements. It’s totally underrated.

That car with the four front wheels was epic

I watched the behind the scenes for that movie and found out that it wasn't even drivable. It had to be pulled for all the chase scenes with a cable along the set. Now when I've put it on I only look at how the car moves. That's one of those movies people took too seriously, it was fun.

Have you ever read the comics? Quick read, and vol 2 is a straight up banger.

Fun movie! Idk if I ever bought the DVD but I would always watch it when it was on TV.

LGX would make a good streaming series if the budget was generous.
