Absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2006)

I am an unabashed movie buff; I love movies from virtually all genres, and I never cease to be amazed at the cathartic effect of an excellent film... for those 120 minutes, more or less, I am transported far away from the realm that is my daily reality, complete with its stresses and strife. V for Vendetta, for me, was the consummate "transport category" movie of all time! I enjoyed every minute of this film, unlike any I'd seen in almost as long as I can remember. Its entertainment value is superlative and multifaceted; it's simultaneously dramatic, thrilling, humorous, suspenseful, futuristic, and revolutionary, but above all, it is an amazing cinematic accomplishment and wholly enjoyable! Among the innumerable, noteworthy qualities of this outstanding film, the strong emotional impact it had on me was impressive and exceedingly memorable. I was surprised and a bit taken aback at the range of deep emotions the movie evoked in me--like many folks, I shed the occasional tear or two at the appropriate, moving, or sad moments during a movie, but during one very poignant scene in V for Vendetta, I found myself struggling to control a literal sob from deep within my soul! This is a powerful, unique, wonderful gem of a movie: it is an escape like no other, it contains life lessons of great depth, and I guarantee lots of laughter as well: don't miss it!
