THE POWER OF SEVEN BECOME A LEAGUE OF ONE.
In 1899, supervillain The Fantom tries to create the greatest weapon in the world; a team of contemporary literary heroes must stop him.Ā When youāre presented with a concept as interesting (and visual) as the one Alan Moore and Kevin OāNeill came up with in the graphic novel, it shouldnāt be too difficult to turn it into an entertaining adventure flick. But the filmmakers ruin everything with one clumsy action scene after another and theĀ CGIĀ is no help at all (Mr. Hyde looks ridiculous). Watching these legendary figures do battle together compensates to some degree.
