good

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2006)

I thought the movie was good. It might have seemed better had I read the novel first, but I don't really read novels. At any rate, it kept me in suspense: the twists and turns really kept me on the edge of my seat.
The only caveat about the movie I would say was that is was a bit too gory for my taste. I think some of the point of killing and murder and mayhem does not need to have explicit blood and gore to get the point across, but sometimes the directors or writers have a certain mood or edginess they like to invoke in a movie. So that may be the case here.
I definitely liked the good vs evil story line in "V". There is a humanness about the characters and I like that in a movie.
Not sure if everyone will like this type of movie. I kinda thought it was like another of the comic book characters come to life, and most comic book characters have special powers and a dark side. It was kinda like that.
