V for vendetta better than predicted

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

In an industry where DC Comics and Marvel pump out comic book based movies almost bi-monthly, I was hesitant to try V out. However, after experiencing this powerful movie, I am extremely glad I chose the way I did. While V did have many "comic book" aspects to it, do not confuse it with The Hulk, Spiderman, or even Batman. This movie had a distinct character of its very own. V had some incredibly well made scenes, and extremely well developed plot, and some of the best character involvement I have experienced in a movie. You get drawn in by the dark, idealistic ways of the symbolic terrorist, by the girl who has lost it all, and by the people set on doing whats right in their hearts and minds.
If you have reservations, much like I did at first, of passing this movie off as another comic-based mishap, I urge you to reconsider. It will be well worth your time and money.
