Booooring. V for Vendetta is infinitely better.

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2007)

I almost left the theater because it was not keeping my attention. I probably dislike the movie even more than I should just because of the undeserved praise it has received. The intended shocking parts are usually predictable, such as the fate of Michael Caine's character and the halt of fighting when the baby is revealed. The camera work is fittingly shaky at moments but also ambiguous in others. It is hard to tell if it is for a desired effect or just bad cinematography. I originally chose the movie only to kill time and its show time coincided with my schedule. I had little expectations going in, which usually drastically improves my opinion of a movie if its any good, but it didn't even fulfill my fix of entertainment. It had potential to be much better. It seems undeveloped as if production was rushed. Again I rate the worst in any rating or poll for this movie because it has way too many supporters. But hell, go see it anyway. You may like it but no one will convince me it is worth a second viewing.
