Oh, so poetic

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2006)

V for Vendetta, seems an awful like the way things could happen, no? The symbolism is wonderful and so deep in so many ways. My wife did not enjoy it and actually seemed a little upset by it. I told my wife going in that it would be very similar to Batman Begins, which she was a fan of. She wasn't a fan of the violence which I thought was actually in decent taste and not overdone, which they could have easily done. The others that we went with all want to see it again. (Me included) I thought it was brilliant and was what I expected the last two Matrix movies to be. I know Alan Moore doesn't like the translation to film, but then nobody really ever likes someone else's version of their ideas. I think the Wachowski brothers really made up for those movies and have impressed lil' ol' me. The tone of the film really captures your attention. Definitely a film that is better on the big screen. I hope my comments help anyone that is unsure about seeing the movie. It really is an outstanding movie.
