The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it's campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.
How in the world is that 17%? TIL I also like unpopular movies.
Connery literally retired because of it lol
Turned down Gandalf to do that. Hilarious.
Okay, it's not a great movie, but it's definitely fun enough to warrant more than a 17%
Dammit, you can't submerge the Nautilus in Venice's Grand Canal! It's only a few meters deep!
I genuinely loved that movie. Watched it as a kid, got the DVD as I got older, downloaded the torrent when I was in college, watched it with friends for movie nights.
I had no idea it was supposed to be bad! I loved the weird fusion of camp, bizarre situations, and genuine action. Although I did have to chuckle at one of the reviews criticizing its CGI, written twelve years after the movie came out.
It was great up until the last 15 minutes, I remember. And it was beautifully artful. But I was a bit colored by the comics, the villain and his motives was just so much better there.
