6. The League of Extraordinary Gentleman
Its a shame when one of an actors last performance is part of a movie that ends up bombing. With the exception of a 2012 Scottish animated film, this was Sean Connerys final film appearance, and boy did this movie suck. Its a shame, because Ive always been a fan of literary characters crossing over with each other. Alas, this movie was nothing like the well-regarded work written by famed Watchmen scribe Alan Moore, Characters like Allan Quartermain, Mina Harker and Captain Nemo were kept in the film, but other characters were either altered or replaced by new characters entirely. Tom Sawyer never even appeared in the book, and they only added him for the movie to attract American audiences. In the case of The Invisible Man, 20th Century Fox didnt have the rights to the H.G. Wells character, so they changed him to some random guy who happened to steal the invisibility formula. I can look past Tom Sawyer and the Invisible Man (annoying Cockney accent aside). What I cant look past is the plot changes that this film, from change in climactic scene (invading a Tibetan base rather that air battle over Britain) to change in evil plan entirely (selling chemical formulas of all the characters special abilities. Honestly though, after reading about all the production problems that went on behind the scenes with this movie, its no wonder everything went to hell. Silver lining: at least we didnt have to see the movie portrayal of Mr. Hyde sodomizing the Invisible Man. Yes...that actually happened.
