Otherwise known as the movie that killed Sean Connery's acting career, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (adapted from the hit comics by Alan Moore) sees a number of heroes from classic literature join forces to stop a great evil which threatens to destroy the world. Like Penny Dreadful except, well, dreadful. You can probably find it for a penny too, on eBay. Very little is carried over from Moore's comics - not Alan Quatermain's opium habit, The Invisible Man's evil, nor Mister Hyde's eventual redemption. Instead, it turns Alan into James Bond MKII, Mina into a vampire, Hyde into the Incredible Hulk and adds Tom Sawyer to the roster, just so American viewers have someone to root for. A boring, ridiculous mess that throws away everything which made the comics good, it's a depressing failure which robbed us of what could potentially been something quite wonderful. Thankfully we have Penny Dreadful now, so it all (sort of) worked itself out in the end.
