V for Vendetta

Just came from the movie , surprisingly it kicked ass.

what did you guys think?

Did you see a midnight showing? I'd like to see it. Instead I have work tomorrow and I'm here watching Samurai Champloo.

some friends of mine went to see it and gave me the "it wasn't as good as the comic books" line. But tha's always the way.

I saw the hills have eyes it's good.

I havn't seen it yet but Got a whole bunch of free movie tickets for it from work, So I'll let you know how it is tonight

I can't wait! I'm seeing it tonight! I haven't looked forward to a movie this much since... I can't even remember.

I thought it was better than the comic book actually , they kept the good parts and changed the confusing parts which wouldnt have fit the movie.

Besides I dont think the majority of the moviegoers ever read the V comic or knows it exists.

i really liked the movie a lot. in fact, i'm going to see again later on today with friends. i have to say i'm really looking forward to reading the v comics. i didn't even know the comic existed till i saw the teaser trailer, and started searching around the web for more info. on the movie.

liked the Graphic novel 20 yrs ago, but i couldn't get into the movie. People CHEERED when Parliament blew up!!! I got kinda sick to my stomach. ANd I voted for Kerry!!!!

Fucking. AMAZING. Really makes you think.

I think it's awesome that the book was written almost twenty years ago yet feels so relevant to our time.

I fell in love with V. I loved the alliteration, I loved his house, I loved the way he carried himself, and I loved the way he spoke.

I'm going to see this as often as possible.

Also, I MUST own the soundtrack. They played a great song during the end credits that sounded like a mix of Ministry and Bjork - it kept going back and forth.

Since the book was a tip of the hat to 1984, I think it's wonderfully ironic that John Hurt plays Big Brother this time.

+1

I really really saw it. And it really really rocked.

I agree- very relevant for our times. Makes you think.

And hell, there's just lots of parts that are just plain fun and cool to watch. And Natalie Portman is hot with or without hair.

Great. Fucking. Movie.

Two thumbs up.

I've heard nothing but good comments about this movie so yeah I'm really looking forward to see it.

Portman is the shit.

i reallly reallly liked it
V is such a cool character and it was just awesome and kickass
i need to see it again

yeah, hopefully, next time ill get to sit with the people i went with

i think i need to see it for a 3rd time.

remember, remember the 5th of november
gunpowder, treason and plot;
i know of no reason, why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

i seriously dug it. considering seeing it again, if i have time any time soon. i'd really like to go back and splurge to see it on imax

Thought it was pretty terrible from start to finish. Honoring the Star Wars/Matrix traditional of incompetent and lazy bullshit spectacle.

....I was really surprised to hear Cat Power and Antony & The Johnsons.


The movie is radical.

While Hugo Weaving's voice is stellar and the mask and costume compelling - I felt that the story was a bit too literal.

A more literal story inside the pages of a comic, using familiar imagery ("A Triumph of the Will",etc...) or stereotypes to show us that someone is a "bad" person works in a short ammount of time. But it makes it too simple in this movie and where that simplicity could have been made up for in ingenious twists, instead was paved by a fairly straight road.

Though any use of Benny Hill style humor tactics score points with me ... so I liked the movie.
