not so great

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2008)

its particularly odd that so many people have rated so highly this movie. and most remarkably is disappointing to see how so many people consider this movie has a profound message. Although it doesn't suffer from a technical point of view .most of the scenes are well shot etc.where it completely fails is on the political and philosophical ideas on which the heroes stands for.
You can kill and eliminate as many cops and other state officials you want as long as you are convinced that your ideas are the right ones.(and only those).Obviously the government thinks the same about their ideals . so each side legitimates their atrocities by claiming the right of their deeds.although obviously the herd is on the side of V in the end(because the director and the producer decided so - and because they know that most of the spectators are adherent to a good vs evil mentality -they make it easier for them to pick a side.
