Chrysanthepop I knew nothing about the 'Royston Vasey' sketches when I watched the movie and thus, it was very confusing, messy and difficult for me to follow. However, after seeing the movie, I watched the special features which clarified a lot of things. Then, I watched the film again and this time I was able to enjoy and appreciate it to the fullest. So I would recommend that someone get a glimpse of the TV-series, 'The League of Gentlemen' before watching its movie. It's well executed with some great special effects and makeup and some hilarious cameos. Actors and writers Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith do a fine job. The humour is definitely over the top and the story is larger than life and full of comedies of errors but once you know what to expect, it's much easier to enjoy this morbidly funny ride.
graemejwalker This review took longer to write than I took to watch this film. It's just plain bad. The plot is terrible in comparison to the TV shows. It is flat, unfunny and boring.It is clear that the LoG ran out of ideas long before this film was green lit. Viewers should read this as an example of not knowing when to stop.Bad editing, bad music, bad acting. Zero dynamism, zilch chemistry.A film that doesn't know what it is, made without any love to some mysterious end that leaves you depressed and feeling kind of angry that so much money was wasted.The LoG obviously were made an offer they couldn't refuse, or perhaps their egos have simply got the better of them. It's a bleak marketing push that perhaps would have been better when the LoG were fresher and more inspired.I however, did know when to stop, and did.Please! Someone try to convince me of this film's finer points!
alex-1239 Now i know a lot of people thought that this film was just a flop but i didn't.it had some great lines and acting.i did however thought the cameos were limited.the idea is great so if you are a fan of the series then its definitely for you :):):):)it brings out the more dark side of the league of gentlemens and shows they can write a horror film if they wanted to.I don't understand why people don't like this film as i found it rather enjoyable but then again I'm a fan of the series. So if you fancy a night in with a decent film don't get this until you've seen the series as you may not understand the characters as well as fans do. its a great film all along.
faye-22 I can not believe that anyone let this get to the cinema. The jokes(those that there are) are dull and without any kind of wit. Its not scary, its not sickening, and it is not even interesting. A waste of time and just goes to show the joke has worn very thin indeed. Many people say a film has not plot but really this one doesn't. The first ten minutes make no sense and bare no relation to the rest of the film, and after the first hour of the film which leaps from one idea to the next, you hit the final part of the film. The ending will there is no ending as such. The final 25 minutes would be interesting in its bizarreness if there was any kind of wit or imagination involved. It copies various other films but it ensure that the view is in on the joke it leads you by the hand and points everything out for you. Dull and boring. Avoid like the plague.
