"Remember, remember the 5th of November"

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2012)

I didn't particularly thought anything of this movie when it first came out because it was difficult to comprehend the story when I was younger. Maybe it was because of the constant sophisticated and fancy words amongst the characters. But not that I can comprehend the movie, I must say this is a amazing movie that I really missed out on in the past. Sure the dialogue comes out like it's written and doesn't seem natural, but than again this takes place in the future. So the plot is this, there is this character V that fights for justice and freedom even if he has to get his hands dirty. And is labeled as a terrorist while he tries rise up against a totalitarian government. Than he meets Evey played by Natalie Portman that is a witness of V's doings. And V has big plans that leads up to the 5th of November. Agent Smith I mean Hugo Weaving was perfect for this role as V, he played it in a very charming and charismatic manner that is believable. This movie simply had style, substance and intelligence thanks to the excellent writing by Alan Moore. Sure the movie has some parts where it isn't fully explained and doesn't make sense sometimes but those are very few and the direction it goes makes it forgivable. The way it tells the story of violence, vengeance and vendetta is done very well although I don't agree with every aspect of this movie.
8.3/10
