All that glitters is rotten mold

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2007)

A pathetic script,typical storyline and all this under the garb of a slick and well paced disguise of a thriller. the promos were were so promising. especially those where V's negative side is displayed. In the end though one has to only watch 15 minutes of this movie to realise that here too it is a wronged and righteous man who is the hero and not two faced and contradictory icon as the promos so blatantly proclaim. Matrix worked because it had no political touch to it . It was rather a strong indictment of the fast moving and busy modern machine like existence of the humans. V on the other hand is laced with biased western sympathetic notions and goes beyond all decent limits to defend them.And all this while claiming that it is up to the viewer to interpret it's meaning. Frankly speaking it has been one of the disappointing movies that i've ever seen. I have given it 4 points and that too reluctantly(primarily because of V's eloquent tone) as this movie smacks of repugnant hypocrisy .
