Absolutely brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

I imagine that many people will not like this movie. Those people, I'm afraid, dislike it because of some preconceived idea that they will not like it. What I write here is of no value to them, and in that regard, it is somewhat meaningless. People with an open mind will thoroughly enjoy this movie. As just a movie it is exceptional; Hugo Weaving is fantastic, his appropriateness is perfect and his tone is rich and wonderful. Natalie Portman is strong, thoroughly convincing in her role and quite frankly I thought she did an excellent job, I did not notice any issue with her accent, its a mix of English and American and thats just how it is, remember not every British person fits the stereotype. A well thought out plot and wonderful action round out what I'm sure will be one of my all time favorites. Pacing is good, be warned, there is not as much action as you may be led to believe by the trailers but this actually makes the movie better.
If you, like myself, truly believe that a movie is its best when it makes you suspend your disbelief for that moment, you will not be disappointed. There are some moments that are unrealistic, or perhaps more accurately, unfeasible. No movie has ever had this effect on me as greatly as V for Vendetta, and I heartedly suggest that if you can see past it as 'just a movie' you should see it, it is worth every second of your time.
