V for very good cinema

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2008)

I wish that IMDb had rankings in steps of 0.5. I think V for Vendetta belongs at 8.5, not 8, not 9. It is very well done and thought-provoking, but not good enough to be a 9, but better than 8.
I wanted to see the movie when it was in the theatres, but missed my chance, so was glad to have an opportunity to see it in DVD, which I did a couple of nights ago. I will also watch it again before the DVD has to be returned.
The story is generally well-structured, but there are a few moments of dislocation when the action changes locations or time in a way that is a bit jarring. Overall though it is a memorable film, and worth seeing more than once.
