a sexed up version of 1984 for the MTV generation

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 2006)

I was really disappointed with this movie.It was a sexy version of 1984 wrapped up in cotton wool , lacking in any emotional involvement , instead focusing on flashy outfits , sexy chicks , cool looking fight scenes and banal characters. Now , i wouldn't have minded if this film was marketed as a mindless action flick and followed the mindless action formula , but instead it is supposed to be a " grim vision of the future". A future in which a guy with an annoying grinning face and a liking for dominoes can single handily bring down an entire governments infrastructure.They could have replaced V with George Cloony as Batman , and it wouldn't have made a difference to this movie. It was just a pointless romp , not an analysis or critical film about the way the world could possibly be heading .Plus- What was the point of that dominoes scene, other than looking cool? the answer is NOTHING!. It sums up this movie , STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE.
