‘The League of Vampires’ features hallmarks of a great yarn but doesn’t go in for the kill
If League of Vampires were to be compared to one of the 007 films, the most apt exercise would to liken the comic strip to Tomorrow Never Dies. Brosnan’s second outing as 007 sports a genuinely interesting villain utilizing deliciously nefarious, à propos means to achieve his dastardly and egotistical goals. Bond’s investigation to find a break in the antagonist’s system is just as thrilling, with numerous action-packed and cleverly devised escapades. The issue is that the climax is a bit of a dud, hampered by uninspired set design and perfunctory running and shooting.
