Great Story

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2006)

I went into this movie unsure of what to expect. This movie is fantastic. The story is intense and complicated but well written. The movie is a little slow around the middle but all falls together at the end. V is a character that I unexpectedly found myself looking up to. Great performances by all the cast, especially Hugo Weaving. You will appreciate your own freedom much more after watching V for Vendetta. Pyrotechnics can only be described as spectacular. Fans of the Matrix trilogy will find themselves in familiar territory here. There are a couple of scenes that are a cheeky tribute to the Wachowski Brother's former efforts. I would rank this movie as one of the best this year, alongside Inside Man. Recommended.
