Anyone see V for Vendetta?

Anyone see V for Vendetta? The previews look good, but have not heard much talk about the movie. How is it?

Yes, I quite liked it. It's a bit odd, but since I live in England now I understood most of the cultural stuff (though it is set some time in the near future). The martial arts in it were pretty good (though it's not chocked full of fights). Hugo Weaving played V. I didn't recognize him till half way through the movie because you never see him without his mask. He played Agent Smith in the Matrix movies. I think you will either love or hate it if you see it. If you understand what is going on then you'll love it, if you don't know anything about British culture or history then you may not understand anything other than the fights.

Yep, good flick. Not everyone's taste, I'm sure.

Natalie Portman gets better with every role. A real pro.

Yeah, Natalie Portman is lovely, and a great actress. I am a huge Star Wars fan and I wish she had a better role in those movies...

V was a good movie. some parts were definitely comic bookish, but wasn't it based off of a comic book?

(I'm a big fan of comic books!)

Here are the unrealistic parts below:

(Disclaimer: don't read below if you don't want parts of the movie revealed)

-parliment building blowing up with fireworks...but the bomb was in the subway (one 1 subway car full of explosives???) under the building.

-V got shot over 100 times, only having a medieval times knight armor chest protector, and being able to kill everyone with guns while they reloaded. (don't get me wrong, that was the coolest scene in the movie!!!)

I think the term they used to describe it was "graphic novel".

I saw the movie, I thought it was quite good. I didn't like V, I sided generally with the government, what can I say I like order and rules. That and my defense of them and the actions they undertook, even the ones I disaproved of gave my girlfriend the excuse she had beeen looking for to break-up with me.

i enjoyed it. i don't usually like comic book films, but this was a bit different. probably won't ever watch it again, but it was good. hugo weaving and natalie portman were awesome as usual.

I thought it was a great movie, but I am a huge fan of Big Brother-sih themes (I felt the government in this flick was reminiscent of 1984).
