From the Director of Blade prepare you for this extraordinary film based on a comic by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill where the same personages show up but has been added Tom Sawyer for being an American production , although it has been also produced by Sean Connery who has got the greatest role , of course . Apart from the 19th Century characters used in the film, this goes for some Golden Age comic book characters . The motion picture blends suspense , action-packed , tension , emotions and a little bit of violence when the struggles happen , but it's a pretty bemusing movie . The ending confrontation in the fortress amongst the protagonists and the nasty enemies is breathtaking and overwhelming . The pic is very spectacular with numerous special effects (FX) and groundbreaking scenarios . Trevor Jones music is atmospheric and adjusted to the unstopped action movie . The film was alrightly directed by Stephen Norrington (Blade) . Rating : Good and nice . Well worth watching.
