THE WEBLOG OF KEVIN C. MURPHY: CONJURING POLITICAL, CINEMATIC, AND CULTURAL ARCANA SINCE 1999

Hello all...back from Toronto (Seemed like a great town...wish I'd had more time to look around) with nary a muscle ache or fever. Also caught The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this evening. I didn't find it as terrible as all the reviews made it out to be, but Lord knows it's pretty bad. I suspect that even if the screenwriters had attempted something closer to Alan Moore's work, Sean Connery would still kill the movie with his awful Sean Connery impression. And the story, as Ebert notes, is absolutely nonsensical. Peta Wilson, Richard Roxburgh, Jason Flemyng, and Stuart Townsend all acquit themselves well, I suppose, although the latter reminded me once again of why he would've made a lousy Aragorn. And as for Tom Sawyer...well, the less said the better. To be honest, I expected much more of Stephen Norrington after Blade. All in all, I'd say skip it.
