I was watching League of Extraordinary Gentlemen just now and while it is pretty cool and looks great, I think I've figured out what the problem is with it.

The characters. They're very cool, but you just don't really care about them. They could all die in a fireball and I doubt I'd give a fig.

Neat movie though. Great set pieces and lots of retro steampunky technology, which I'm always a sucker for. But the characters are never much more than their superpowers and I think that's the biggest problem with the movie.

Though I might just be spoiled after watching 3/4's of Season 2 of Angel. After the amazing characters in both Buffy and Angel, it's hard to be terribly impressed with cookie cutter heroes.
