V For Vendetta

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2014)

Title: V for Vendetta
Condensed Storyline: A freedom fighter plans to overthrow the corrupt British government with the help of a girl.
Notable Acting: Hugo Weaving hits the ball out of the park with his performance as V. Similar to that of Natalie Portman who plays Evey, and what I like about Evey is the fact that she isn't just a "sexy lamp", she actually helps progress the story and grows into a good character through the story. Stephan Rea plays the detective Finch, who isn't a bad guy per-say. But he is a good character. The main antagonist is Mr Creedy played by Tim Pigott Smith, who is that good stereotypical evil guy. But not painfully stereotypical thankfully, because the last thing this movie would need is evil British stereotypes.
Costume: Accurate to how it is shown in the graphic novel
Incorrect History: The gunpowder plot was performed to created chaos by blowing up the house of lords, not a bid for freedom by blowing up the house of commons.
Overall Feel: This isn't what you'd expect from a superhero movie, acts of terrorism and psychological torture. That would be because V is an anti-hero and is form a graphic novel printed by DC comics. The movie itself is clever and well thought out, the cast are enjoyable to watch and the story and effects are well done. Classic action thriller movie, I would recommend it for lots of people. It also shows the line between "freedom fighter" and "domestic terrorist" are dependent on your side. This movie also likes to play with words beginning with "V"
