      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      The concept is high but everything else is merely fair to middling, one more or less watchable B-movie in megabucks clothing.

      The A.V. Club

      League begins as a smart variation on the summer blockbuster, then loses its nerve in a second half sure to satisfy neither cheap-thrill-seekers nor fans of neglected literary oddities.

      The New York Times

      Has the sweat stains of wasted energy; it's dreary, yet frantic.

      Austin Chronicle

      Simply put, it’s too much of a good thing, this unreined tumult of chaos.

      Dallas Observer

      Moore invested his characters with flaws, with a tangible humanity; God knows they never felt the need to explain themselves, as the film does, rendering it something akin to one long footnote.

      USA Today

      The murkiest-looking movie since Ben Affleck's “Daredevil” and about as lacking in charm.

      Premiere

      Despite its preposterous leaps of logic, it somehow still emerges a reasonably entertaining summer blockbuster.

      Christian Science Monitor

      Opium- addicted Allan Quatermain becomes none other than Sean Connery. At least he gives a real movie-star performance, which is more than the other gentlemen manage. Extraordinary? Balderdash!
