Absolutely Intellectually Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

This movie was fantastic start to finish, if you are simply looking for an action movie, this movie will do quite nicely, but if you have the intellect to truly behold the philosophical genius and symbolism in V for Vendetta, you will be astonished. Unfortunately, I went to the last showing of the evening for this movie, if there was another showing I would've gotten back in line and immediately viewed it again. So brilliant I was angry when it was over. Hugo Weaving, as V, is amazing in every respect, when he quotes Shakespeare, among other great writers, he delivers lines so perfectly, and in a context that is also perfect for each reference. I was truly engulfed from start to finish in the philosophical development, and sheer power of words in this movie.
