V for Vendetta is exactly how films should be made these days. No special blood, guts, or gore just wonderful storytelling. Natalie Portman is a delight to watch as she gives a truthful portrayal of a woman influenced both ways, as many of us actually are especially where the war in Iraq is concerned. I loved how the characters were loosely compared to peoples in our own society such as Bush, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News. I only hope this is just a movie however, and not an insight of things to come. It also has many memorable lines such as, "ideas are bulletproof." You walk away from this wanting to see it again and wanting everyone you know to see it with you. It will be talked about over and over again once more people get the chance to see it. V is not for villain but for vigilante. A new holocaust which takes place in the film quickly reminds us of WW2 and brings back all the feelings of sadness. How quickly people forget the past. This film may help them to remember...(the 5th of November?)Unlike the Matrix your do not have to see this twice or three times. Once will be enough. I have read other reviews where the plot is jumbled and lost this is Not true. i had No complications while watching this. Those going in not knowing what to expect will be changed. i know i was.
