Fantastic improvement to the novel

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2006)

I saw this movie last night and even though i love the comic/graphic novel i found this so good, although one or two things have been changed (fate taken out, killing the voice of 'london'(fate) instead of turning him mad) they help the movie to flow more easily and some great new things have been added, such as Deitrich character being greatly improved so he is more then just a normal man every loves. The addition of many many 'coincidences' was a really good idea that was very thought provoking. Depite this being a serious thriller there were many times where i burst out laughing, such as the propaganda scene where avian flu is mentioned and V performing an 'instant sex change' on a soldier, ouch. The one thing i really missed was the vicious cabaret but a guess without acts its hard to have put it in, shame though.
