10 Comic Book Movies That Got MULTIPLE Characters Wrong

Chalk this up as yet another Alan Moore adaptation failure. Like most all of his works turned into movies, 2003's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fails to capture the essence of the story and character. His characters' darkest and most complicated edges are always toned down for fear of turning away a mainstream audience.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is now literally just Bruce Banner & The Hulk, Captain Nemo was... , and they didn't even use the correct Invisible Man because of copyright issues. Plus, adding in Tom Sawyer was just a failed ploy to entice American audiences (he was never in Moore's comic).

The Mina Harker/Murray character has all of her subtext removed, Dracula's victim is no longer a woman ahead of her time and not conforming to the strict standards a "lady" should be in Victorian England. Instead they use her basically as muscle for the action set pieces, leaving her a vampire.

Sean Connery famously retired from acting after his experience with making this movie, however, it must also be stated that he should shoulder some of the blame for its failings. He was not only portraying the main character of Alan Quatermain, he also served as executive producer. Quatermain the character had none of the nuance and depth from the comic, no longer a frail opium addict and instead the sturdy leader-type. Sean Connery plays him as an aged version of his most famous character.
