10 Weirdest Movie Crossovers Ever

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen is just on the borderline of what qualifies as a crossover movie, but it’s got enough over the line to count.

The concept is clearly a crossover, bringing together legendary literary characters such as Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Tom Sawyer and Doctor Jekyll. However, the movie is merely an adaption of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, which housed the original idea. If a movie does a straight adaption of a crossover comic, is that movie a crossover too?

Whichever side of that divide you fall on, you’ll probably agree that The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, whatever else it was, was a bad movie.

It has an embarrassingly bad 30 out of 100 on Metacritic, while its IMDb rating of 5.8 is not much better. Anything south of six is pretty much code for ‘universally bad’.

Strangely, this will probably have pleased Alan Moore, if he even cared enough to give it any thought at all. Despite writing Watchmen, V For Vendetta and From Hell as well as Gentlemen, Moore famously hates movie adaptions of his own work; the Northamptonian writer doesn’t even own a television.
