Am I ever gonna give a 10?

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2009)

I gave "V for Vendetta" a 9 some time ago and I have been always thinking about that since then. I mean, if it doesn't get a 10 from me then I doubt I will ever give a 10 to a movie. And that says it all, pretty much.
It's not really about the plot: A masked rebel trying to "wake up" his people and a girl that falls in love with him. It's not about the names of the actors, nobody is well known apart from Portman.
It's about how the plot has been used, how the director is unfolding it, in the same time unfolding V's past. It's about how the actors fit with the plot. It's about the lines. It's about how much you want to be a part of it and see the good guys winning.
So, ignore my 9/10 and go watch the movie immediately. Yeah, even if you have watched it before. A million times.
