    This was a nice return to old-style comics. Connery's Quartermaine was as good as any of the WW1 era comic heroes, drawing on the popular notion of the hunter-hero. Teamed with a collection of monsters, near-heroes and classic villans (all characters that would NOT have been acceptable back then), they re-paint how a classic hero team works. I really think this film will help to change the way that heroes are depicted, however, making them more human to us, so that we can relate to them more. The story-line is pretty much based on some of the fantastic sciences that were being predicted back during the WW1 period being presented here. Good pace, good tone with some light-hearted fun, strong characters and strong story... making for a film worth sitting the whole family down for.
