Great movie but NOT as good as the comic.

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2011)

Its a good movie. Action and all was good. Idk y some guy said Natalie Portman sucks as an actress. she's one of my favorites to be honest and does a brilliant job in this movie. I really REALLY hate the fact that they took out ANY mention of Anarchism. The whole premise and conflict from the graphic novel was V being an anarchist fighting a fascist government. As Alan Moore said this movie was turned more into a liberalism vs neo conservatism. I know the Wachowski brothers want to make it more relevant but then that's not a true adaptation or true to the character V. V in the book mentions why he hates authority/ governments and how his true justice and democracy is anarchism. It explains more of how his hate came to fruition and a little more of how V's mind works. They didn't mention hardly any of this in the film. As someone said in a review one minute he's a madman terrorist the next part in the movie he's a loved rebel by the people. As Moore said also some of the characters especially the bad guys are more rounded in the book but I cant blame the Wachowski brothers for that. They do have time constraints and deadlines to meet. I believe they still did a good job adapting the movie (unlike how fox ruined deadpool in wolverine origins). I like how they explained the back-story of the gown powder plot and guy fawkes day. I did like the ending of the movie better then the graphic novel also. I recommend you to see this film but if your also into reading comics and graphic novels I suggest you also find a cheap paper back (or hardcover) Of the original v for vendetta graphic novel. Its around 20 but you can probably find slightly used V comics for about 10 bucks. Overall awesome film. I would give it normally a 10! Or even a added 11 because it was and still is one of my favorite movies of all time. Re watching though I realized they left some crucial things to me out from the graphic novel so I give it a 9.V is one of my favorite comic characters besides deadpool and he still helps me to embrace the burning rebellion I have in me every now and them. Remember people freedom forever! A... V. Have fun watching the movie and enjoy! =]
