A movie powered by ideas

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2015)

It's always nice to see a movie done right...
'V for Vendetta', directed by James McTeigue is a gorgeous film, done with respect and, sometimes, intelligence... Now, this movie stars Hugo Weaving, who is perfectly cast as V, the protagonist, the terrorist, who is trying to break an oppressive system, one day he meets Evey, played by Natalie Portman, and starts to fall in love with her.
The Wachowski's are the writers, and they actually did a fine job on the movie, but almost lost themselves in some occasions, introducing their style in a story that is more focused on discussion, and this is the only part the movie fell for me, perhaps if it was written by someone else it could've been better, but it doesn't crash the movie down for me, it still holds all the dramatic and epic moments to a certain degree of goodness.
Without a doubt the movie is a winner, even if it diverges from the comic book sometimes.
