Politically motivated, unadulterated crap!

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2006)

A massive disappointment from the makers of one of the world's greatest, most revolutionary, and most influential films (you know the one). The Wachowski brothers' vision and artistry brought them well-earned success. Then I guess they (and the studio) counted on their reputation sucking film goers into watching "Vendetta". It worked on me. I didn't believe the film wouldn't be better than the trailer. I didn't believe my friends who disliked it. I was wrong. "V for Vendetta" is nothing more than a forum in which the filmmakers assert their own uninteresting ideology and creative pretension. They don't seem to realize that film can be art even when it's not self-consciously "artistic". Disagree if you want. I won't be dragged into a debate over this huge waste of time, talent, and celluloid.
