youngmormonmedic Watched it again and I am amazed at the poetry and screenplay of this movie. It is truly a masterpiece.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 Perhaps the only example of a 'Bonfire Night' film I can think of, this graphic-novel adaptation casts Hugo Weaving as the vigorously verbose avant-garde anarchist known only as 'V' and places him within a bleak dystopian Britain ripe for an uprising, making a meal out of the whole 'ideas are more powerful than the men behind them' theory while also providing plenty of verbal and visual splendour in the form of a tight script and some even tighter stylish set-pieces. While 'V For Vendetta (2005)' certainly has its faults, especially in its rather slow second act - not to mention the fact that Natalie Portman's English accent is almost criminal, this is an entertaining and, at times, thought-provoking piece that manages to maintain a decent distance from its somewhat touchy subject matter and to exist purely as a piece of fairly intelligent but equally enjoyable filmmaking. 7/10
invisibleunicornninja Characters - They were all believable. All the acting was amazing.Effects - There weren't a lot of effects, but they were all really good (except for V's hand, which was a pretty bad effect - you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it).Sights and Sounds - The sound mixing was great, and so was the cinematography. The world was very believable and I was almost immediately sucked into this world. Plot - There aren't really any plot holes. Most of the characters are intelligent, I especially like V, and they all work together to bring to life this intricate plot.Overall, this movie was amazing. Everything was well done. I highly recommend it.
Matt Greene With its political confidence and heavy moralism, it sometimes feels like it was written by a well-read teenager who just read Brave New World for the first time. Still, its kind of a marvel of a movie: a big budget comic book film with so much style and substance that it plays more like Gilliam than Snyder. Hyper action, fun visuals, and brainy intentions? More than enough to cover some immaturities.
