Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

I saw this movie yesterday (after reading the graphic novel two months before)with the idea that nothing would surprise me since I had read the graphic novel. Well I was dead wrong, let me tell you. Very rarely does the film adaptation of a work of literature surpass its original content, but this did. The content Mcteigue added to the film from the graphic novel improves on Allan Moore's(the author of V for Vendetta) original vision. Moore even says in the preface to "V for Vendetta" that he wrote V for Vendetta when he was younger and less experienced, and thus there are flaws in his work. The film adaptation fixes those flaws and makes the whole "V" experience better. Hugo Weaving did a perfect job bringing the character of V to life, and Natalie Portman does a fine job as Evey Hammond as well. This movie was the best!
