The Worst Movie I've paid to see.

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2006)

The only thing, in all honesty, that stopped me walking out of the theatre mid-screening was that I fell asleep. The only aspect of the movie that held my attention for any period of time, besides Portman's improbable beauty was the soundtrack. Ignoring Portman's obvious aesthetic charm her acting credentials must be questioned, between this and the new Star Wars trilogy she is more weeping her way through roles rather than acting through them. She added nothing to this movie bar a pretty face. After the Matrix trilogy, I am sick of hearing Hugo Weaving talk even though admittedly his voice, had it been new, would have suited the character of V perfectly. In terms of his role, It was over-acted and didn't feel real at all. Plus that speech-with-everything-beginning-with-v made me laugh out loud out of sheer disgust. The ensemble cast was uninspiring and the whole thing appeared cobbled together without coherency. I haven't read the graphic novel and this certainly didn't inspire me to want to. A hideous movie, and two hours I can't get back.
