Excellent - take your brain with you

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

Comic book fans and action fans alike, don't be fooled by the trailer - they seem to have deliberately over-egged the action scenes to increase audience size.
The V comic book was amazing, made you think, was heavy going but delivered a very important message. The film does the same job.
Given the complexity of the storyline certainly some other story lines have been omitted but it really makes no difference to the overall story.
If you didn't like the move from action to words in Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions you probably won't like this either. The W brothers are delivering an important message. You're going to have to think and you're going to have to pay attention.
I imagine the people who don't like it simply don't 'get it'. I've seen reviews that say the mask gets in the way of V's humanity - that just seems like a stupid statement on a thousand different levels.
I'm British and I had no problems with Natalie Portman's accent.
Remember, remember:
The nature of the story means that many reviews and reviewers are going to attack its basic premise. This is too important a story and too different a film for people to rely on other people's views. Your first act of awakening should be to see this film and JUDGE FOR YOURSELF; wake up world - make your own informed decisions instead of relying on that of others - lest we end up with the world that V inhabits.
