Finally got around to watching V for Vendetta. I was hoping and expecting to like it, but I certainly wasn't expecting to like it THIS much. I figured it would be just another action flick with some cool Matrix-ish imagery and stunts thrown in, but it was so much more...
Primarily, the subject matter it is dealing with is so close to controversial that it makes it an interesting study. The question being raised, is V a terrorist or a freedom fighter? And what's the difference between those two? The entire thing is dealt with, I think, brilliantly and fairly.
Then of course, there's the performances; Hugo Weaving is SPECTACULAR. Carrying the entire film with his face hidden behind the mask at all times... not an easy task, yet he breezes through it. I've never been too fond of Natalie Portman, but she really turned me around with this one. Kudos to her, I'm a stubborn sort not easily swayed.
The look and feel of the film were never really something to be worried about, coming from the stables of the Wachowski brothers. They have been majority shareholders in Cool inc. since 'Bound'.
Final words: Go watch this movie. It's great. More than the cool action flick you're probably expecting.

Granted, this movie isn't particularly true-to-life, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. This is a surprisingly good movie with some superb performances. My conscience wouldn't let me sleep if I didn't take time out to mention that Usher gives a fantastic performance, restoring hope in a world where musicians try hard to be actors and fall miserably short of the mark. This movie is well worth your time; go see it.
I started out watching the pilot of this show with quite a bit of apprehension, but about 12 minutes in, when they introduced Batmanuel, I was hooked. His introduction alone was enough to make me a fan, but they didn't stop there. 'The Tick' is surprisingly well written, and manages to be truly funny without being stupid. Watch this show and give it half a chance. You won't be disappointed.
