The characters in this book are all in my favorite books, the top two being King Solomon's Mines and Dracula, but the movie was a terrible cash-grab. They were just capitalizing on the individual stories that made up classic literature and created a crossover (the laziest form of superhero movie).
Not to mention how they used Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as their "Hulk." Despite being decades older than Marvel, it felt like they were copying off of The Hulk.
Sean Connery played the African hunter, Allan Quatermain, very well though, I enjoyed his performance.
Overall, it made me angry to watch, I felt like the best books ever written were being used to make money, which would have been an epic movie if it hadn't been done so terribly! The writing was shoddy, the plot was predictable, if you really love classics, DO NOT WATCH.
