From Entertainment Weekly:

Sean Connery looks better bald than just about any actor alive, so it always seems a bit emasculating when he's outfitted in one of those wiry gray hairpieces. In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Connery, sporting a singularly mediocre rug, plays Allan Quatermain, swashbuckling hero of colonial Britain, who gathers together some of the most mythic figures of 19th-century fantasy literature into what's meant to be a kind of Classic Comics version of ''X-Men.'' Connery purrs and growls with dependable Scottish-lion finesse, but I kept wishing that he would rip that damn thing off his head. Then again, he's far from the only one on screen to be undercut by his synthetically primped appearance. Virtually everyone in ''League'' looks as if he just escaped from a costume shop.
