V for the Wachowskis screw up Moore's brilliant story

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2008)

V for Vendetta begins with a teen-aged factory worker sneaking around the streets at night trying to turn a trick so that she can have enough money to eat. She is rescued by a masked anarchist who involves her in a series of crimes against the laws of a post-apocalyptic dystopia. After kidnapping her and torturing her, he turns her to his cause to overthrow the government.
If you are somewhat confused reading this plot synopsis, that's because this is the plot of the comic book by Alan Moore.
The film of the same name by the Wachowskis is a castrated, diluted betrayal of Moore's story and they should be ashamed of themselves.
