April 6, 2009"If you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror."
I've always liked Alan Moore's mature approach to graphic novels. When "V for Vendetta" was in production, I was really anxious to see the film. He's main work, that most of us know him by, "Watchmen", "The Lea... ...( read more ) -
February 13, 2009V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm.
Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of ob... ...( read more ) -

January 6, 2009A few fight scenes aside I couldn't stand V for Vendetta the first time I saw it but a couple more viewings remedied that. Hugo Weaving was amazing and a bald-headed Natalie Portman is never anything to complain about. This movie's message is inspiring, the direction fantastic wi... ...( read more )

July 2, 2009Again one of those movies that has so much more under the surface, in addition to the fact that the visual look is incredible. V is my kind of man (if you don't count the killing sprees and the awful wig).

As manifestoes go, this one's a beauty: draped like a funeral, smart as a whip and full of black-hearted romantic monologues and dramatically slit necks. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
The movie's a handsome piece of work, dramatically powerful even when it backs into silliness. full review

The movie is a lot of dark, Orwellian fun. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue, almost always has something going on that is actually interesting, inviting us to decode the character and plot and apply the message where we will. full review

V packs an urgent filmmaking energy that pins you to your seat. full review

It's an amazing movie. Not in exactly the way The Matrix was (how
tired would that be?), but in a new way. It's a fascinating picture,
dark and exciting, and it will almost certainly be an enormous hi... full review

May 2, 2009Damn, one of the best movies which is ever made. The story is so good, and the acting is great. Natalie Portman on her best, and Hugo Weaving as well, even without showing his face one time. This movie has many influences of the second worldwar, maybe a little too much, but still it's a masterpiece. I noticed interesting underlying things, like the colors, the music and not putting off the mask. You can see people really thought about all that little things. That's what it makes it so extremely good. This movie is a masterpiece, and that's something I don't say that often.

One of those rare films, that urges people to wake up.
That is if you can read between the lines and see this graphic Novel Adaptation is a serious wake up call. -
September 19, 2008This movie reeks of rotten liberal bias! This whole movie is about how "evil conservatives" take over and start killing everybody. And how one "oh-so-noble hero" takes them down.
At first I didn't get that. I was a bit younger when I watched it, and just thought the action scenes were cool. Looking back- this movie is terrible. -
April 1, 2008"Behind this mask there`s more than a face, there is an idea and ideas never die!" An excellent movie, I liked it so much.It is an alegoric one.Love it, Love it, Love it!!!

September 20, 2007This why people are looking for an "Idea".
Seriously this movie is AWESOME!!!! -
August 24, 2007With no doubt... the best film ever! I love this film!
I love Hugo Weavin's job playing V! When he introduces to Evey and said all the v words was the best! I did not like much Natalie Portman's english accent but... who cares!? V rules! FREEDOM FOREVER!!!
