Hey buddy, lose the mask and shut up.

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2007)

Seriously... "V for Vendetta" boldly explores a dark political world that sometimes resembles an ideal frighteningly close to our own. Great material, right? But too much of the story is delivered in tedious monologues and philosophical rants by the title character, V, who has a goofy mask fixed to his face. So you spend half of the movie staring at an inanimate object preaching to you or is that the point? I don't care. The fact that V is played by bad boy Hugo Weaving doesn't even alleviate this. Natalie Portman, however, provides a gutsy performance and a welcome change from that Padme crap. And John Hurt never hurts.
