LXG-good, bad, or average

07-12-2003, 05:41 PM

Personally, i thought it was a good popcorn movie, nothing more. Although it has major sequel potential,(which is a given since the entire cast has signed on for a second one).

Already a long thread going on about this with reviews and stuff in the Movies Coming Soon forum..........

Baadshah · 07-12-2003, 06:32 PM

but it's not a coming soon movie anymore

spiderman_2k · 07-12-2003, 06:37 PM

In the UK it is......

07-12-2003, 09:36 PM

Well I'm in the US

Now, now folks lets not get into a pissing contest over whether it's in or out in a certain nation...

I've seen it and it's a pretty good fix... not a 'pee your pants' good flick, but pretty good. My full review is in the Current Movie Forum.

7/10

All im saying is if the guy wants to know opinions it would be MUCH easier to check the other thread instead of waiting for posts to rack up in this one...

2dman27 · 07-14-2003, 03:26 PM

i saw it yesterdayand i'll paraphrasing allan quartermain""i'm TRHOUGH waiting i AM impressed"

BlakeAE77 · 07-14-2003, 09:33 PM

I saw the movie three days ago and "I'm STILL waiting to be impressed." I thought it was kind of slow. It didn't pick up until the end. But I have to confess that I had pirates on the mind while seeing this movie. I did like Captain Nemo though, he was the best IMO.

Mat · 07-14-2003, 09:36 PM

Pirates was better, but LXG was still tremendously entertaining. It's a lot better than what the critics think.

JackBauer · 01-22-2004, 08:48 PM

yeah, finaly saw this one. i thought it was pretty good! now im even more excited about van helsing and roxburgh's performance as count dracula.

i liked mr. hide, he was much better than hulk IMO. i mean the Hulk-CG stuff wasn't that great. the hide costume was better.
and i enjoyed the alternative transformation, realy nice make-up stuff. the league needs a sequel IMO.

but the harker/gray fight scene sucked, the original scene was longer and more violent. idiots, they ruined my favourite scene.

anyway, nice flick

EonBlueÆnima · 01-22-2004, 08:52 PM

it was ok...not that good...

Kable24 · 01-22-2004, 10:10 PM

I actually liked it and would love a sequel. Maybe a new team of adventurers.

dopesick1 · 01-22-2004, 10:17 PM

For some reason, I didnt like this movie at all... I watched an hour and turned it off. Maybe was in a weird mood that night, since I usually give movies a chance, but I just was really not getting into it.

Maybe I'll give it another shot some time.... maybe.....

Rogue · 01-22-2004, 11:52 PM

I loved it! Granted, it's not Oscar-worthy but it was a feel good movie. It served it's purpose.

Knerys · 01-23-2004, 01:02 AM

Very underrated movie in my opinion. The chemistry amoung the characters was very good, I wish they would have kept in some of those deleted scenes they have on the DVD. I'd be all for a sequel. The graphic novel is good to. I recommend it if you liked the movie.

Kitty · 01-23-2004, 12:03 PM

i thought it was a pretty good movie in my opinion. 8/10

**Coming Soon!** · 01-23-2004, 12:20 PM

Hated this film. The only good thing about it was Peta Wilson.

Longshanks · 01-23-2004, 06:32 PM

Despite the re-write for the US audience (Tom Sawyer get's all the heroic bits...Tom *$@&!ing Sawyer!...sigh -Hollywood execs... and the really bad 'Father/Son crowbarred - in subplot), I thought the film was great

Far more entertaining than Matrix 2/3, far more fun, lovely to look at and Brits as hero's - what's not to like? :p

mister_satan666 · 01-24-2004, 10:16 PM

horrible

very bad movie

from what i hear the comic is a lot better and its a shame they didn't go with it.

the whole lame popcorny feel really ruined this movie which should been taken seriously

Alexander JL · 01-25-2004, 08:51 AM

It was so-so.

It was a great concept, but the movie was mediocre. Pure popcorn flick.

Spike2002 · 01-25-2004, 05:11 PM

It was good, but not really good.

Switzer · 01-25-2004, 05:15 PM

I thought it was a great movie

ambrosia · 01-25-2004, 06:00 PM

It was a fun flick but will probably never watch it again until it comes to Pay TV.

The Founder · 01-27-2004, 10:05 PM

LXG was a good popcorn flick, and nothing more. It does have sequel potential, and I'd love to see one, but it wasn't this great disappointment as many seem to think. I'm still baffled as to how mina harker was able to walk in daylight?
