Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

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!

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

A stiff. I don't know the comic book series, but it could hardly be as lifeless as this leaden adaptation, in which the weapons have more personality than the characters and the nonstop action often feels like no action at all.

The A.V. Club by Keith Phipps

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.

Premiere by Peter Debruge

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

Dallas Observer by Robert Wilonsky

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.
