Metascore IMDB 8.2? Higher than Fargo and Paper Moon. Next to Chinatown. Dark forces at work.

Rating: 3/10 (8 March 2018)

IMDB 8.2? You have to be joking. Surely this has been trolled up from high fives by Rainbow Warriors. Higher than Fargo and Paper Moon. Next to Chinatown. Mein Gott.
V for Vendetta looks like a BBC Telemovie drama production beamed forwards from the early years when digital motion images were novel and Saturday night TV was still in its post Dixon of Dock Green phase. It contents the usual BBC social engineering proselytization but with a simplistic retro feel of mid-Blairite era that makes it look naïve and primitive by this weeks must have in identity politics et al.
It gets worse. The script oozes clichés and low end predictability from start to finish. Say it before it happens. Its like an ideology film for 10 year old's and believers in the idealist fantasy of Marxist pedagogy. For that you'd need the check list of every populist evil anti-christ of the period and tick them off as they wander by with only Rupert Murdoch missing. Guanatanamo Oranges and John Hurt's Winston from Radford's 1984 now replacing the Enoch Powell look-a-like big screen Evil Leader is a nice touch.
What did they spend $54m on? Natalie Portman in pink and white dress as an entertainment based paedo-trap for evil Bishop?
The sets for want of a better word are low budget digitised or the tea room at the office. Most of the film is a fight for crap-rights between bad acting and rubbish dialogue. The Autopsy scene is cringe-worthy. Strike that its all cringe-worthy.
This movie could excel only as a parody of bad. However, a parody needs to distance itself from its subject to be identifiable otherwise it is just bad.
Whats my point? Eight point Two? This has to be jacked by dark evil forces... hang on... what am I saying?
