Lucky enough to see the DVD and thought I``d share my thoughts.
FILM Terrible. Very bad considering the genius of the 1st 2 series of the TV show. The League really have run out of ideas as to what to do next, demonstrated by the half ass plot and lack of any real story. They`re now so busy patting each other on the back congratulating each other on how clever they are, they`ve lost the plot. The film is self-indulgent, messy, lacks focus, and all of the stuff where they are 16th Century noblemen... its drivel. Very painful to watch considering they are a very talented bunch of actors/comedians. A return to obscurity beckons...
DVD Menus - nicely designed, but very dark and sometimes hard to read.
Extras - the usual `making of`, trailers, deleted scenes and `day in the life` stuff that we come to expect, but nothing special or stand out compared to the DVD`s for the TV series. If you already have those, you will be disappointed.
Video/Audio Quality - Excellent, can`t fault.
Easter Egg - Its on the main menu, but I`ll let you all find it for yourselfs, its very easy to see.
Verdict - If you didn`t see the film in the cinema, then don`t bother buying this DVD, Rent a copy, and return it the next day. If you did see the movie, then you`re probably a huge fan - in which case you`ll be buying the DVD expecting more than what you get.
Cheers

Why not post this as a review to the actual title?
