clichéd, absurd, ridiculous, embarrassing, seriously over-rated

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2008)

This film tries too hard to be deep and dramatic. This righteous V character behaves like a maverick, starts a rebellion against a corrupt government. This V character talks in poems and riddles and tries to be smart and charismatic, but tries too hard. When first encountering V for the first time he comes out with some ridiculous nonsensical alliteration. Your left puzzled, its awful how the film tries to give this hero an identity in this way.
The characters are not believable, they lack depth, the action is clichéd (roses for the dead bodies).
There is just too much absurdities in this film: A daft Hitler like leadership, silly hero who promotes violence and terrorism, mass mask production and nationwide distribution(under a dictating government), pointless imprisonment and torture followed by a romance!! and to conclude it all, a ludicrous ending.
