Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C- Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "...a lightning-paced period adventure, dotted with some off-hand literary references to coax a smile out of book-loving moviegoers." more... B+ Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...just when it seems about to become a real corker of an adventure movie, [the film] plunges into incomprehensible action, idiotic dialogue, inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy. What a mess." more... D+ Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "Watching this outrageously vapid and overdone movie is a sad experience, because Connery, at 73, hasn't really lost his stuff." more... D+ Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "...scores a Bad Cinema trifecta - ugly, boring AND stupid." more... D   E! Online "...extraordinary-looking but heartless..." more... C   filmcritic.com David Levine "For a film with a promising premise, it's shocking that it fizzles by reel two." more... D   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "...nothing anchors the lighter-than-air story as it drifts...into an FX stratosphere where wit, character and vigorous storytelling cease to matter." more... D   New York Post Megan Lehmann "...unfathomable balderdash..." more... D   New York Times Elvis Mitchell "...has the sweat stains of wasted energy; it's dreary, yet frantic." more... D+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "...as clever as the conceit may be, it can't hide a mundane storyline..." more... B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...League did prove extraordinary in its rank ineptitude..." more... D   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "So long as the camera is within range of Connery's steady gaze and faintly sardonic smile, all is on course." more... B- Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...one more bloated effects-o-rama lumbering through a formula plot...without much zest, imagination or awareness of its own absurdity." more... C- USA Today Mike Clark "...so boring that the mind floats to extraneous matters..." more... D   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
