Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2006)

I saw V a few nights ago. It has instantly moved to my Top 5 list. I do not have a single bad thing to say about this movie. I found every aspect fascinating. I have been drowned by the litany of over done premises, predictable plot, and boring acting. This movie is truly one of a kind. I will definitely buy it.
The idea of a locked down city ruled with an iron fist is truly 1984-esque. I found myself wondering if that was a significant influence on the writers. Also the idea of giving out all of the masks was genius. I also loved the idea of a slighted citizen wreaking havoc in a strict society. Also, I found myself with a dumb smile after each awesome knife fighting scene. Natalie Portman was simply fantastic. Hugo Weaving pulled off another dominating behind-the-mask performance.
Simply put, I LOVED IT!
