...and while it was crap, but the kind of supid fun crap you can sit through once for free if its on TV, the movie did show how Stuart Townsend really was too young to pull off Aragorn in LOTR and Jackson made the right choice of getting rid of him early on:

It was alright, more stomachable than Van Shitstink. The cgi was hardly convincing, yet completely unrelenting & over used, the cast was so-so & the ending was total shlock! that had me rolling in the aisles. (Note: I didn't see LXG at cinema, but if I did.. I would've surely been rolling in the aisles)

Yea, it was kinda fun in a stupid B movie way. Hell, I'd get it on DVD if Fry's ever has it in the $10 or less bin for it's stupid fun.

I'm seriously sorry that you had to see that. I was one of the most depressing comic book movies ever. It's the Street Fighter of comic book movies. Look, instead of watching the flick, read the two graphic novels that are out right now. I swear to you, any bullshit that LXG put in your head will be gone by the middle of book one. Plus, Alan Moore, you can't go wrong!

LXG is the anit-X2 of comic book movies. It is a step by step recreation on everything to avoid when adapting a comic for the big screen. Let's take a potential literary classic and turn it into a big budget high octane adventure, and thor in crap acting just to thrust the knife deeper.

Ironically I kind of liked Val Helsing.. it was pretty much crap, but it appealed to enough of my inner Universal Monster geek to not walk away totally disappointed.
