Watched it not long ago. Didn’t realize the people rating it have no appreciation for decent movies.

It wasn’t phenomenal by any means but it was quite entertaining for the duration of it.

I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It is a pretty mediocre movie overall, but it is just a lot of fun and I have watched it a dozen times.

Definitely not a 16%'er.

For critics, yeah I think it is 16%er but that is because critics are looking for different things in movies than the audience who wanted to see the movie.

Surprised it hasn’t come back as a streaming channel series of films like “Knives Out”. It’s got a lot of potential.

I remember screening league of extraordinary gentleman and all I could think is it was probably not for me. Not to say someone else wouldn't like it. I feel like not everything should be rated based on its wide spread appeal.

I don’t disagree that it’s a terrible movie, it’s just a terrible movie that I happened to really like.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

pretty sure I watched it in the theater while it was new and I didn't think it was a waste of time but it is forgettable. It's only really remarkable thing is being Sean Connery's last movie

As a "last movie" it's kind of infamous, like Raul Julia as Bison in "Street Fighter".

I absolutely enjoy this movie as well! Nemo kicking ass is a joy to watch

16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

That crictic rating though, that's a useless measure. And 44% audience score isn't that bad.

Ebert's big beef with it was "You can't drive a car in Venice!" and I'm like "You're OK with 1800s nuclear submarines, an immortal vampire victim, an invisible man, and a dude who can't be hurt because his painting takes the damage for him, but driving a car in Venice is a bridge too far?"
