about time, something original and different

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2006)

There are very few films out there today that are not just rehashes of either old films or old themes...this film breaks that fashion...it's totally original and a breath of fresh air...I did think that it was going to be just another comic book movie, i was wrong...this is a disturbing and thought provoking movie with a lot of content that can be identified with such works as Orwells 1989 & Animal farm, Dieghtons "SS GB",Hittlers "Mein Kampf" and a touch of "Phatom of the opera" all excellently interwoven to make one excellent and highly entertaining movie..the cast are brilliantly chosen for their roles...with full marks going to Stephen Fry, john Hurt(Dictator and wannabe Hittler, a very bad baddie!!)and Stephen Rea, not forgetting Hugo Weaving, he of LOR fame and main evil villain from the Matrix, who has the title role of V and all round "phantom of the opera" type hard done by good guy...all in all an excellent film, a must see !!!!
