Just ordinary. LXG is a great premise ruined by poor execution.

It's big, silly, and entertaining, and even its most naked franchise ambitions feel fun rather than frustrating, because they're so blatant. Go to Full Review Neil Norman London Evening Standard Jan 11, 2018
Sadly, the rot sets in just over the halfway mark when the action loses its identity of fustian heroism and degenerates into another arcade video game of mundane destruction. A pity. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Dec 28, 2010

Your enjoyment of this fascinatingly flawed action-adventure fantasy will come down to how far you are prepared to go along with its original and absolutely off-the-wall premise. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending May 10, 2020

Robert P @Superbad 4 days ago This movie is a 2.5 star Movie See more Torben K @Metalman451 Sep 7, 2026 Repetitive and overall incredibly boring. The whole plot just feels extremely loose and uninspired. Great idea, but poorly executed. See more Ben W @Username618 Jun 30, 2026 Comic's much worse though. See more R T @RT37083768 Mar 19, 2026 Not the best. Don't think anyone is having a good time in this film. See more Matthew T @RT18266008 Mar 16, 2026 Another criminally underrated movie - 17%!! For comparison, the so-bad-it's-virtually-unwatchable Captain Marvel has 79%! This movie is very flawed, but also very enjoyable, and it was the first superhero team-up movie long before Avengers graced our screens, and it gets as much right as it gets wrong. In fact, the much more successful Avengers Assemble movie owes a lot of its success to this - emphasizing what LXG did right, and avoiding what it gets wrong. The heroes in the team (all from literary backgrounds) are highly distrustful of each other (a tone that Avengers copied verbatim). There are some superb one-liners, and some expository dialogue that absolute clunks. But it's forgiveable, as the atmosphere is superbly dark full of streampunk/dieselpunk touches. It also has one of the best plot twists of any movie of this sort, which Avengers and Batman Begins took inspiration from but couldn't match. In the end, this is an enjoyable proto-Avengers experience. 70%. Not 17%. See more Jack M @JackMiehof Feb 16, 2026 James Bond joins Gothic superheroes in this extraordinary movie based on a graphic novel. The critics hated it, so you know it's good!
