Excellent movie, though lacking when compared to source

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2006)

I really enjoyed this movie. I had my doubts based off of Hollywood's previous adaptations of Moore's work.
However, there are a few things that I missed. It was a shame to see that Hollywood butchered the script a bit in order to portray V and Evey in a more positive light. Evey was not arrested for being out past curfew, she was a prostitute. Puzzling is how they didn't alter the torture sequence (which showed how far V is willing to go), yet they cut out the entire Rose subplot. (In the graphic novel, an officer is killed when they find the coroner. His wife plays a minor but important part later on in the story. V's dialogue later indicates that he expected this to happen.)
Minor things, but they kind of hurt my enjoyment of the movie. I wish that they had included Fate, especially since that would explain how V got in everywhere, but c'est la vie.
