Mtal Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Anyone see V for Vendetta? The previews look good, but have not heard much talk about the movie. How is it? Jay Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiDave Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 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.

Sohan Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Yep, good flick. Not everyone's taste, I'm sure.Natalie Portman gets better with every role.

SamuraiDave Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tke010 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 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!!!) Fear does not exist in this Dojo, does it! No Sensai!!!Pain does not exist in this Dojo, does it! No Sensai!!!

NeoMstrSgt Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 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.

alsey Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 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.

A_Train Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 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). I play a wrestling game online. If you'd like to play follow this linkhttp://www.thewrestlinggame.com/wg.asp?w= 133896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
