Great Script

Rating: 2/10 (13 April 2008)

The Script in itself was sublime, skillful, stirring, and strong. The very quotable quotes still resonate. The alliteration was more than clever, it was powerful. I think the script in itself would have been great entertainment. The movie was OK. I enjoyed the novel comic-like approach on screen. The role of V was very well played out and the voice suited the lines. He was dark and alluring even from underneath the mask. Natalie Portman fit her character very well in the beginning, but I found her transformation to be incomplete. She's good at playing simple wholesome emotions, but falls short where subtlety is required. To me she's like a northern version of Jessica Alba. Both are incredibly beautiful and incredibly bland. The camera work was OK, but it could have been better in many scenes. I recommend the move because it's refreshingly well scripted and well directed.
