Witty, Political, Intelligent, Thought Provoking

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2011)

The story of V for Vendetta is perfect. It is world renowned for being one of the best graphic novels out there. The story is so rich and interesting, it will become one of your favourite films.
Unlike Watchmen,this film did not become worse than the original novel, it was done perfectly - so a perfect novel could become a perfect film.
The character 'V', although his face hides behind a mask, is a very complex character, you can feel so much emotion and passion even though you can not see his face. Hugo Weaving is an excellent actor, and perfect for this role.
As for 'Evey', many were doubtful of Natalie Portman's English accent, however, before reading any reviews of the film, and hearing how many thought it was inaccurate, i found it quite genuine and believable. The role was perfectly cast for Portman.
I cannot recommend highly enough how much you will enjoy this film, it has everything a film could need and more. A slightly underrated film,that fully lives up to it's potential.
*****/5
