Excellent film, the Wachowskis are back!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2006)

This film totally blew my expectations out of the water. I expected it to be a normal, run-of-the-mill action flick like The Matrix 2 and 3, but V for Vendetta is much, much more. This movie is about the totalitarian society of now superpower Britain(A little on the way-side, but cool). The British Chancellor has decided to use this power to oppress his people, curfews, no free media, keeping tabs on every citizen(ahem...)That kind of thing. Many want freedom, but the laws are so strict and the enforcers of those laws are so brutal no-one dares to speak against this corrupt society, except for one person. That person is V(played by Hugo Weaving). He's got a grudge against the Government and exacts his revenge by killing each person who made this nation so awful and destroyed his life. In comes Natalie Portman's character, Evey. She works for the national television station. One night when she breaks curfew, she is saved from the police by V and is brought to see a "concert". Soon, she falls for V and attempts to help in V's exploits. His main goal is to destroy the building of Parliament as a symbol of when Guy Fawkes attempted to destroy the parliament building to overthrow England in the Seventeenth century hence "Remember remember the fifth of November" as the slogan of of the film. At the end, the building is destroyed, the government is destroyed and the movie ends with hope for a better future. Great acting on all of the actors, THE WACHOWSKIS ARE BACK!!!!
