Better than a plain old Date Movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2006)

It may not be the typical apocalypse or Love story but V for Vendetta is better than any masked superhero story these last few years. If you like sci-fi, historical fiction, or just a twisted love story this is the perfect movie. Girls there is enough explosions, knives, and shocking images to keep your boyfriend awake next to you despite the romantic-novelette undertones. Even if you don't like romance the primary plot line will make this movie quite worth it's ticket price. I recommend reading reviews however instead of basing your choice on the trailer. For some hardcore action fans it will have been misleading. For example the group of "under 25" guys I went with assumed there was no love story, and were disappointed in that fashion. The over 30 males in the audience however loved it. It's a very intelligent film and the dialog in the beginning may foul some people up.
I never realized so many words started with the letter V. But the poetic chatters dies off after the first 10 minutes into a more euro-slang dialog.
