I’ve heard rumours about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen being disliked by a great many people, especially those who have read the comics. However, while I agree that this is hardly a masterpiece, I still think it’s great fun.
Sure, the dialogue’s not always top notch, and the plot is predictable. But most of the characters are acceptable, if a bit flat, some of the jokes actually work every once in a while, and the action scenes are decent enough. Pretty much a standard comic book adaptation, in other words, of the kind that I can pretty much watch several times per year.
Not very challenging for anything but the patience, at times, but still good enough. 6.0/10.

I watched the movie first, liked it a lot, and then read the comics, and, er, didn’t like them a lot, having very, very, very different expectations. That’s how different the movie is.
But I saw it first, so I like it. And it’s fun.
