Fantastic movie!

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

In this day and age of tired remakes and formula films, this plot stood out as original & unpredictable. Being not familiar with the comic book source, everything was totally new to me. I truly was pleasantly surprised at some of the turns the plot made and took great enjoyment in not being able to second guess what would happen next. Further, Portman's acting ability really shines in this role. Her portrayal of Evey added a human dimension to the movie that kept this movie from being just a superficial film rendition of the comic book. The acting, directing, and visual effects wove together well to create a believable alternate reality in which the viewer could immerse themselves.
