I was simply amazed

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2006)

When I first went to see this movie, I wasn't familiar with the "v" novel or anything, and I figured it was an action-packed-two hour and so- movie, that I had to watch because my boyfriend wanted to. The truth is, I never expected it to be first of all, so weird, dark and engaging and to be so character driven. You get everything from this movie. Yes, there are bangs, and they're pretty cool. There's drama, a lot. They keep the story going every minute so you won't get bored. There's a love story and a lot of character development, as you see each character grow with the choices they make. Because in all, it's a movie about choices, and how they can change the course of things.
Natalie Portman is excellent in this movie, one of her best roles to my knowledge, V is flawless, and although the dialog could use a little less "brittish-ism" it does sound kinda funny when they say the colorful things they say.
Finally, it's also a movie that makes you wonder. Places a scenario that is very likely to happen and although the world is fictional, it's portrayed so real, that you walk out of the theater wondering if it'll come to be any time soon. It's definitely a movie to recommend.
