'V for Vendetta' Unmasked

(FYI - This might be a confusing place to list this since I was looking for the movie I saw last night - see 'V for Vendetta 2005' for that mind-blowing post-modern flick starring Natalie Portman)

Visually provocative, cinematically delicious, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! This was the best eight dollars I've spent in my long history of film-going! I dare say it trumps City of God in this regard.

I love the way McTeigue captures the the spirit of revolution in a world caked with corruption and evil. I love the noticeable parallels he draws between modern politics and the apocalypse--truly disconcerting, but most definitely filled with hope!

This is certainly for people who love great cinematic experiences!

This is an excellent film based on a 1984 comic book written by Alan Moore. Moore wrote V for Vendetta about Ms. Thatcher and apathetic societies who do nothing when their government gets out of line. The Wachowski's did take some events from modern times and incorporate it into their story, but it is still based on a retired politician that retired close to 20 years ago.

Individuals need to stop making it about themselves and the US (since it's not about it regardless of what you might believe). Considering the comic was written over 20 years ago I do not see how individuals (such as one particular person in the US military)can view it as propaganda designed to attack whatever they decide is the "truth".

The fact is, it is an extremely cerebral movie that looks at what happens in society when people do nothing, and whether the ideals of one person can make others rise up in the face of tyranny. The action sequences were excellent, acting was amazing and the storyline based loosely on the comic did a great job considering it was only 2 hrs in length.

I recommend this to anyone that wishes to be entertained on a physical and mental level.

Just watched this movie again, 2020 starting to feel like this movie. The government is taking over our lives and controlling every aspect of it. The people are starting to rebel.

I was blown away by V For Vendetta. A comic book never entices me as it does other people but this film was a pleasant surprise. First-time director James McTeigue is relentless when it comes to pacing, rarely letting things flag for extended scenes of flabby explosion. And if there are times when V for Vendetta is overwrought and chaotic, those lapses are easily forgotten in the midst of the rousing nature of the experience. From a visual standpoint, V for Vendetta bears the earmarks of a comic book-to-film adaptation: rich images, deep shadows, and strong iconography. Do not miss this film under any circumstance.

oh my god!! this movie is the greatest movie i have ever seen everything was perfect the cast, the script, the effects it was all perfect. i was in total shock when i got out of the movie. how could a writer write such a brilliant script?!?! i don't like action movie at all but this movie is so good the massage that he brings to the audience, the lesson is fantastic!!! when you see it you suddenly realize that it may not so realistic but yet it makes you feel that it might happen one day..because it may not happen in england and there won't be a government like the one in the movie but it could happen like it was with Hitler and the Nazis..it is on the same basic. not everyone that probably will see the movie gets out with the lesson that it brings..some will see it as a film with some great effects or the fight that the movie shows they won't notice the main idea of the movie, so as a tip from me to you - listen to every word that will say and just let your self enjoy the movie...it is highly recommended-you must see it!!
