Could've been a great film if the Wachowski's hadn't handled the material so crudely. A lumpen and ugly diatribe against totalitarianism, this is an artless and obvious movie.

This movie seemed to illustrate a bizarre view of a revolution, followed by a counterrevolution. V for Vendetta shows a deep and philosphical sense of human natures need for individuality. The use of the mask as a symbol for freedom and human individuality was a nice touch because the people of the city were able to unify behind it and stand up against their oppresser.

The title character was the only thing I enjoyed about this movie. The plot feels forced along and the "social commentary" made me want to vomit. When it started talking about how the government was persecuting gays, I actually found myself wondering if I was still watching the same movie.

Very mediocre. V as a character is what a 15 year old honors student might imagine as a hero. Plus, the movie has no real historical backing, Guy Fawkes Day is about a traitor, not a hero.

A very inconspicuosly political movie set a little in the future where politics has gone wrong. The sci-fi part is not given any importance, only the character of V is the main focus of the movie. Drama is the concentration point and melts our brain if we try to understand each and every thing that V tries to convey. Watch out for the V speech by V where he uses a lot of words with V in it. A story about how one man wakes up an entire people from their slumber

Exquisite performance by Hugo Weaving, with strong work from Natalie Portman. The pacing never lets up, with a gripping narrative tension that leads to a well-deserved explosive finale. The politics of the movie--and this is a very political movie--are ultimately un-nuanced and reactionary, more of a protest than a solution. Nevertheless, it's still an energetic catharsis for the frustration of living in our world of endlessly compromised politics.

An excellent example of restraint in an action film adapted from a comic graphic novel. The dialogue, action sequences & overall editing are very carefully constructed to convey a decidedly British perspective on action drama that favors story substance over visual style. The fact that the film is set in London in the (not so distant?) future has little relevance to this, but does serve to punctuate that perspective. Fine acting is complimented by a good musical score. Highly recommended.

Lusciously philosofic (or just pretending to be so), this film shows nice action, a several plot twists thus quite a predictable plot altogether. Anyway, even if the ideas are quite cheap they may make us think on them a bit, and the wrapping for them is rather nice. So, it is a good action film flavored with interesting ideology.

Imo, a wanna be 1984. Problem is, there's too much Hollywood into it. There was so much more in this film, than a stupid action-superman with the random mutant story and A girl. The idea is right, but it was far too tainted with profit orientated directors and people like them. There were, however, most interesting scenes and solutions in the film, which I didn't see coming, like the scene where the girl is captured and tortured. A very nice one, it gives most of my score.

Decent filmatisation of a cult comic book. Film follows quite nicely the comic book storyline of the masked man leading people to the possible revolution from the totalitarian society. The tone of the film is still lighter than the book, and the ending is considerably worse than the original one. More riskier and challenging take on the subject would have been more succesfull.

V for Vendetta is a movie that jumps on the "down with the man" bandwagon. With that in mind it is sill a great flick. I've always been a Portman fan and she does a good job. The movie keeps a god mystique with the masked man. I think it's the end that seals it for people. I'm not going to spoil anything but it got me excited to "stick it to the man". Now I wanna read the graphic novel!

This movie probably gets rated lower than this in many people's eyes. But I think this is because people forget the context it was released in. This movie came out when right wing jingoism and overzealous patriotism was arising after the 9/11 attacks under the Bush presidency. The film itself, like the comic, is meant to bring up the discussion of how extremism in this way leads to populism and fascism. One of my favorite movies. It's not perfect, but it has some amazing performances.
