Everyone should read the graphic novel regardless of how crappy the film may be.

IT IS AMAZING! Even if you don't like comics you'll love it.

You might like it if you liked any of the following films:

Tomb Raider
Batman & Robin
Wild Wild West

In other words, it's a movie that is painfully dumb if you put any thought into it, but it's also (IMO) not quite fun enough to be a good popcorn movie (like "Pirates of the Caribbean"). There were a few enjoyable scenes, and I like the concept, but it eventually peters out and I lost interest.

is the graphic novel a novel or comic?

and the question is LXG worth $8 (CH)? hmmm...

It was better than the stupid movie called, The Hulk.

Perhaps it's worth a rental only.

How does this compare to Bad Boys 2 ? (haven't seen either one)

It couldn't have been worse than Battlefield Earth

You want us to compare a movie you haven't seen to a movie you haven't seen?

That's gonna be useful

Got a GC for Best Buy and I'm trying to figure out which would be the better blind buy.

I had a good laugh when they were interviewing Connery about the movie, and he said he took the role because he turned down parts in LOTR's and Matrix. Good pick Sean

Yeah, he turned them down because he didn't understand them. I can see maybe not understanding Matrix, but what's not to understand about LOTR???

LXG sucks, and I expected it to at least be decent. Poor Sean Connery, he's been tricked into doing another bad movie.

Graphic Novels are oversized comics.

Both volumes of the League come with text portions in the back to supplement the main story. The second volume's text is especially good - for all fans of old literature and movies.

I thought Bad Boys 2 was downright offensive - but does have better action. LXG wins in a close contest.

its mildly entertaining, but with way too many plot holes... i never read the book, maybe thats why.

LXG was...wasted effort. While I thought some of the production design was interesting, and the invisible man effects quite solid, the movie suffered from a really awful script. I mean...downright stupid. The action wasn't even really entertaining. I'm not familiar with the graphic novel, but the idea in itself has lots of potential. And I promise you this it was quite wasted. While there could have been some great exploration of these unique characters, instead it's just a poor action movie with big budget production values. Oh well.

I would say Bad Boys 2 is marginally better than LXG.

Both aren't very good movies but Bad Boys 2 was fairly entertaining up to like the 3rd gun fight scene (there's like 8 or something like that so it gets pretty boring after awhile)

Midgets take on a giant eye over a ring?

Sounds like I should wait for a 2 for 20 sale for LXG and BB2.

And I can't stress enough how much of an @sshole, @sshole, @sshole film geek you are who doesn't know the definition of other people's OPINIONS.

There are some good performances in the movie, but the movie as a whole was really quite terrible. I say if you aren't a BIG fan of one of the actors, rent it before making your decision. If you love say Peta or Stuart or Sean, it still might be worth your time. Maybe. If you REALLY love them.

i liked it

I've had the LXG DVD for about two weeks now, and I watched it and thought it was a decent film. Not horrible, but not that great either. I have read the original source material and liked that. The movie is different from it, and not nearly as good as the graphic novel is, but definitely worth atleast a watch.

Don't know about the replay value of the disc though. Rental or a buy depending on the price you can find it at.

is this a movie you can just sit back, not think about and enjoy for the 2 hrs (or however long it is)? just a mindless action flick?

So you're saying this movie is dumb, but has bigger cans?
