S for Stupid!!!

Rating: 1/10 (1 April 2006)

I cannot believe how many people love this movie. Reading every review along with an average score of 8.1/10 with 23,000 votes prompted me to be very excited for this film.
I brought a friend and had to wake him up several times. I tried really hard to stay awake myself, waiting for the movie to suddenly become as good as people said it was. I was hoping for some sort of plot twist / revelation as was done in the Matrix or something... but nothing much happened except too much un-needed dialogue along with the overuse of adjectives that began with the letter "V".
There was absolutely 0 character development in the fact of developing a sense of empathy or emotion for the characters and what happened to them. There were several parts of the movie where I said to myself, "I think I'm supposed to cry at this part". I usually do get emotional during a good movie, but not for "V for Vendetta". The most emotional part of the film was the sense of relief that overwhelmed me when it was over.
I can see why many people will "like" this movie as it does portray an "extreme" case of a totalitarian government. A lot of "Bush" haters will enjoy the film... but people have to realize that when a government does get to the point seen in the movie, it is from the rise of "dictators" like Hitler or Saddam Hussein.
There was one thing that I agreed with in the film is that the mention of a fallen nation (United States) was due to becoming a Godless nation. We are becoming a Godless nation. Unless we go back to the roots (God) that helped found and shape our laws and government, then we are destined to fall.
