The early 2000s were a weird time for comic book movies. Studios hadn’t yet cracked the formula, and CGI was both everywhere and not quite good enough. Every studio was chasing X-Men or Spider-Man money, but most didn’t understand why those movies worked. That left audiences with a string of half-baked adaptations and aggressively gray visual palettes.

Then came a movie with Sean Connery, a steampunk submarine, vampire women, and an invisible man. It had everything, and it completely fell apart.

This is why The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen failed.
