More Than Worth the Price of Admission

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

This was, in my opinion anyroad, an excellent movie! The way it was written, performed, and edited keeps the same entrancing air of the original comics. Heartbreaking, tense, action-packed, and even morbidly humorous at times, it truly was unique. Admittedly, there were changes and omissions, but one must keep in mind that there is only so much that can be done in a two-hour movie, as opposed to a multiple-volume comic series. Not overly surprising, that. I must say, however, that it is refreshing to see Vertigo getting its day in the sun, so to speak. V For Vendetta also does it an amazing amount of justice. Constantine was a good movie, when taken separately from the graphic novels. Vendetta is a good movie, with or without the graphic novels. Even the acting, which can sometimes be frightening in this genre of movie, was phenomenal. Natalie Portman and Hugh Weaving were perfect.
There is really no question, it is a movie worth watching, and parts will leave you breathless.
