Do not believe negative comments on this one. This film was not politically correct and that is why some critics did not like it. The British are not portrayed as fools and there is no disdain for 19th century Britain.

Lots of good scenes and those looking for realism are in the wrong genre. This is more comic book type action. Reminds me of the old films like Journey to the Center of the earth or the Hammer films. This is not aimed at teenage computor nerds who are from sheltered suburbs looking for arrogant jokes and gore. This film requires imagination and being able to lose yourself in the film. Connery is refreshing and fine as the lead and better than Harrison Ford in my book. I am going to see it again. The Mr. Hyde take is more like the hulk than the Hulk. No heavy gore or graphic love scenes so all ages can go. Great to see some fictional famous characters thrown in and this was fun, noble and well worth it. Imagination is here.
