poetry using Vs and pretty soon I thought I was going to have to shoot myself if he did it one more time. Luckily, they stopped.
I have just returned from seeing 'V For Vendetta'. I thought it was an absolutely wonderful movie. It was pertinent for our time, well directed, intriguing, and I loved V's use of language.
If we begin to see more 'comic book' adaptations like this, then the bar of Hollywood movies has been significantly raised. It was an intelligent and thought-provoking movie. After watching it, I immediately went to the book-store in the tallest building in the world, and purchased Alan Moore's 'Watchmen'. I haven't read a comic book since I was 14, when I was an Asterix and Obelix fanatic, but the strength of this movie rekindled my interest.
Admittedly, it's not a perfect movie, but it has a lot of courage and imagination, and is not afraid to tackle some difficult issues.
Great stuff.
I saw the movie last night and i have to say its one of the best films i have seen all year after watching it rather than picking up the comic or anything like that i wanted to run and get a mask and a cape and some knives and go out and play although i was drinking, oh does anyone know if V has any powers i seem to remember them saying his reflexes are faster but how come he is strong as well?
I dont get it. How can everyone go and sit through that garbage? The acting was exellent, i'll give them that, but the story was so stupid. The whole thing about censoring and stuff like that, the whole "Fahrenheit 451" aspect of it, it just wasnt convincing. I didn't like the whole "Lesbo love letter" sequence either, i thought that was pointless. It honestlly could have been a lot better
Those brothers could've done a lot better...
pure dissapointement

I actually liked the story but didn't like the acting. I also thought the prison stuff was the best parts of the movie. It was more dramatically suspenseful and very 1984-esque, which is cool. When she was in the prison was the only time I thought the acting was decent.
Still, I think the movie was ok.
