Great movie with a great message

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

Anyone who goes to see "V" without the understanding that there is a basic underlying political theme will be disappointed in it. As a conservative, I do not agree entirely with some of what the movie implied. However, the main point of the movie transcends political points of view. Anyone who wants to see a movie that actually has an intriguing plot, that will make you think about what you are seeing and question what you actually believe, will enjoy taking the time to watch this movie and then taking the time to think about it. In the end, when Natalie Portman talks about how V was really everyone, and everyone in London turns out to see the destruction V promised and the start of a new government, this movies full force finally hits. All throughout the movie, there are many ethical questions being raised, such as "Is terrorism okay when dealing with a corrupt government?" In the end, the movie really gives a strong message, that everyone must consider what is being done and be willing to fight against something that is corrupt and stand up for what they believe in. This movie is more about making people think while enjoying a great action movie than showing tons of blood, guts, and sex. So if you want to see a movie and think about what you see for awhile, "V" is great. Otherwise, just go rent Rambo or Predator to fulfill your need for carnage, because "V" is about something more.
