As a movie, I enjoyed it

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2008)

V for Vendetta, as a movie, was good. It was enjoyable to watch. I am going to make this movie a compliment sandwich. Natalie Portman is great, Natalie Portman with an English accent is amazing. The action scenes were awesome. But as for the negative, this movie was very one sided. It seemed to make religion and religious people, specifically Christians, the bad guys. Granted, there are some religious nuts in the world but the movie never cared to separate extremists from moderates. The use of religious symbols as evil was quite offensive. I am a pretty tolerant person but I get very angry when people attack ANY religion. It claims Muslims are being persecuted for their beliefs when they are really not. Other than attacking religion this movie was somewhat enjoyable. The acting was quite good and the character of V made me laugh a bit. Natalie Portman with an English accent was heavenly. I recommend this movie only if the viewer understands reality.
