![]() ![]() ![]() It's a fun adventure that requires that you bring your inner child along for the ride. I had a truly wonderful time watching LXG. The series follows this group and their successors throughout history. LXG delivered! This is a fun escapist fantasy and all of my favorite literary characters are in great form. The eponymous League is the Murray Group, initially formed of five famous figures of Victorian literature. Other girls may have pretended to be Wonder Woman, but I was Captain Nemo! I was hoping that LXG captured the imaginative world that flourished in my young mind when I read all those old beloved books. I grew up with these characters and they played a huge part in my childhood fantasy life. The characters are closer to their literary selves in the film version than in the comic book. I prefer the way they were written by their creators. Some prefer the "original" versions of these characters by Alan Moore. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II is a comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin ONeill, published under the Americas Best Comics imprint of DC Comics in the United States and under Vertigo in the United Kingdom. I went into this film hoping it would do their characters justice. For years I have enjoyed the works of Doyle, Wilde, Stevenson, Stoker, Twain, Haggard, Wells, Poe, and Verne. I see no reason why a person can't have a high IQ and enjoy an imaginative and fun film. ![]() There are some who have claimed that those who enjoy this film have a low IQ. ![]()
