Not what I expected, but a great movie.

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2006)

I just got home from seeing this movie in the theater. I do have to say it was not what I expected. However, it was a very well done movie. I expected a twisted plot, and i thought there would be a lot of action. It was very fast paced, yet the story unfolded slowly throughout the length of the film. The action scenes were used sparingly, which was a bit refreshing. The story was very heavy, and it did have a dreary sort of mood. I never felt sorry for "V" yet the other characters in the movie struck that sensitive nerve in me. All in all, this movie showed a realistic view of what has happened before in history, and shows what can happen again. The story is believable, the characters well portrayed, and the hero fits in this story well. It's worth the money at the box office. Do not expect a lot of action, but appreciate what is there. Go see this movie.
