I love how this is the Avengers of classic literature.

you have to realise that Quartermain is a fiction hero too, from the book King Solomon's mines, he's basically the blueprint for Indiana Jones so He's an early superhero too

The legend says AFRICA wont let Alan die. He died outside of Africa. When he was brought back, Africa would deny him death.

It is worth noting Tom Sawyer isn't just a random American Classical character thrown in for name recognition. In the books, Tom is an adventurous kid with a fairly strong sense of justice and authority. So of course he would be the one to want to join a group of superheroes to stop a supervillain.

Favorite character is probably Captain Nemo but all of them are great in their own way and I love them all.

One of my favorite lines is when Mina and Dorian are fighting. You see both of their cuts heal rapidly and Dorian says “we’ll be at this all day”.

I do like how its the same actor playing both Jekyll and Hyde...Hyde is like 90-95% practical too. The CGI was reserved for Skinner and that abomination at the end lol

Nemo felt like a character from another movie that we never got a chance to see. I would've loved even a small flashback of his operations against the British in India.

This movie was the Avengers... before The Avengers 😂

On a side note: Intentionally creating vampiric assassins…yeah, I can’t see any way that could possibly go wrong…

Stuart Townsend was born to portray charming, sociopathic Immortals. He rocked as Lestat the vampire and as Dorian Gray. Great actor. This was Sir Sean Connery's last big movie. RIP to an absolute Legend.

The biggest problem with this film is that the average audience is pretty ignorant of these classic characters, so without the exposition that is present in most modern movies to provide backstory, I’ve always had to pause the movie to answer questions from family watching this with me.
As an enthusiast of these stories, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and always had hoped for a sequel that never happened.

Dorian grey - Oscar Wilde
The invisible man - H.G. Wells
Nemo - Jules Verne
Mina - Bram Stoker
Allan Quatermain - H.R. Haggard
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert L. Stevenson

Brilliant charaters and a genius move by the comic book creators putting them togheter

this movie, the van hellsing movie with hugh jackman and the underworld series gave me life in the 2000s

Naseeruddin Shah as Captain Nemo was just brilliant ❤

In the original Dorian Gray novel , the guy who painted the portrait was the devil in disguise and granted Dorian's wish. Dorian was also a serial killer.

30:10 Actually Alan figuring out who M is makes sense, since there were several clues sprinkled out beforehand.
1) During the fight at Dorian's house One of the Phantom's main henchmen says, "Run James." as he fights Alan.
2) In the audio recording a woman says "Ready Professor."
Between these, it wouldn't be hard to figure out that the M stands for Moriarty.

I feel this movie was slept on hard

It’s never stated explicitly, but Hyde’s simian physique, along with his red hair, could possibly make him the Ourang Outang murderer in Paris from E.A.Poe’s Murders on the Rue Morgue—adding another literary nod. 😅

If she has the same weaknesses as Dracula, Mina can survive sunlight but cannot transform while under it. And can't cross running water, which in this story probably just means she can't swim and that's why if the ship sank she would be pretty much dead
