The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)

"If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all."

"Automatic rifles. Who in God's name has automatic rifles?"

"Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target."

"[About Hyde] That was naughty!"

"[teaching Tom to shoot] Take your time. [Tom shoots and misses] Too soon, but that was bloody close."

"[Knocks out an enemy by smashing a liquor bottle on him; looks at the broken bottle] Wicked waste."

"[He impales an enemy on the horn of a bull head on the wall. The Union Jack then drapes over the dead enemy] Rule Britannia."

"[last words to Tom, as he's dying] May this new century be yours, son, as the old one was mine."

"[after seeing Mina kill one of M's men] Boy. They told me European women had funny ways."

"[Allan is teaching him to shoot from the deck of the Nautilus] Did you teach your son to shoot like this? [turns to see Allan has left]"

"We're alive. If M has any ideas to the contrary, that gives us an edge."

"Dr. Jekyll, at your service, sir."

"[As reflection, to Hyde] Bravo, Edward."

"[To Hyde, the reflection] What are you talking about?!?"

"No! I will not let Hyde use me again!"

"Now lets not make a saint out of a sinner! Next time he may not be so helpful!"

"[To Nemo, Hyde just tried to strangle him] Your talk is all well and good, sir! But your own past is far from laudable! [leaves]"

"Home. Home is where the heart is, that's what they say, and I have missed London so. Its sorrow is as sweet to me as a rare wine."

"We can do it, Henry, together."

"[To Sawyer, after he claims not to be afraid] YOU STINK OF FEAR!"

"[As Henry's reflection, while listening to M's and Dorian's message]:Turn it off, Henry... turn it off!!"

"NO![Seeing Dante chug a huge flask of Dr. Jekyll's formula] Not the whole thing!"

"Oh, chemist, eh? Do we get to blow something up, then?"

"[after groping Mina] I've been waitin'all week to do that!"

"[A note from the Nautili] 'Ello, my freaky darlings."

"This is a charming spot. Does Jack the Ripper live here?"

"I'm feeling a bit of a draft in my nether regions. And I must say, it's quite refreshing."

"Not Gray. He's lived long enough."

"Save your bullets. These men are MINE!"

"[to Dorian Gray] You broke my heart once. This time you missed."

"I've lived long enough to see the future become history, Professor. Empires crumble. There are no exceptions."

"I'm an immortal, sir, not a gazelle!"

"Sensors attached to bombs. Bomb voyage."

"[to Mina after impaling her] I was hoping I'd get to nail you one last time...I didn't think it'd be literally."

"[Fighting Mina, who is also immortal] We'll be at this all day."

"[Mina has stabbed him in the groin] If that had been permanent, I would have been very upset!"

"[to Gray] You think you're better than me. You forget: I've seen your painting."

"[To Quatermain] Oh, and I'm scarred, Mr. Quatermain, not blind. Drop the gun."

"I got offered The Lord of the Rings, and I turned it down because I didn’t understand it. I was offered The Matrix — twice — and I turned it down because I didn’t understand it. I don’t understand this movie, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to turn it down."

"My first response to the script was that it was a bit far-out. But that never stopped me before. It didn’t stop me from doing Zardoz."

"I don't really mind the movie's lack of believability. Well, I mind a little; to assume audiences will believe cars racing through Venice is as insulting as giving them a gondola chase down the White House lawn. What I do mind is that the movie plays like a big wind came along and blew away the script and they ran down the street after it and grabbed a few pages and shot those. Since Oscar Wilde contributed Dorian Gray to the movie, it may be appropriate to end with his dying words: "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.""

"Of all the comic book properties eagerly purchased by studios following X-Men, Alan Moore's highly-acclaimed melding of Victorian adventure fiction and super-heroics was undoubtedly the most exciting. Teeming with inspired wit and invention, only a supreme effort could screw it up. "Prepare For The Extraordinary" screamed the presumptuous trailer. You should indeed - albeit, crushingly, an extraordinary display creative cowardice and mishandling. The drive to concoct a period X-Men results in a depressingly clumsy action movie, one which treats the audience's intelligence with infuriating contempt."

"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a gigantic missed opportunity. What could have been a fun adventure, something akin to The Mummy meets X-Men, is seriously botched by a hideously poor script, that's almost entirely made up of plot holes and implausibilities. This is a movie that actively seems to think that it's audience is stupid. Worse still, the acting is incredibly poor from nearly everyone except Jason Flemyng, who does a decent job as Jekyll and Hyde. Probably the worst part of the film, are the jaw-droppingly bad special effects, that would have been downright appalling in 2003, and a simply dire in 2012. If this is to be Connery's final live-action film, it's a sad way for a legendary actor to go out."

"Prepare for the Extraordinary"

"The power of seven become a league of one"

"Waiting To Be Impressed? You're About To Be."

"An Adventure in a League of Its Own"

"This summer, Join the League."

"Sean Connery - Allan Quatermain"
