V for Vendetta good movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

V for Vendetta was a movie I had been waiting to see since I first saw a poster for it in a movie theater a year ago. I had never heard of the comic before hand, and leading up to the release had no prior knowledge of the plot, other than it had something to do with Guy Fawkes and Natalie Portman was in it. So I was very excited to see this movie, but was not expecting to be completely blown away. I went with two friends and after the movie was over we were so high on our own adrenaline, I felt as if I had just stepped off a roller coaster, and I didn't stop shaking for several hours after the movie was over. It was everything I could have hoped for and more, it pulled from Macbeth, The Count of Monte Cristo, the legend of Guy Fawkes, and so much more, with a little Phantom of the Opera thrown in to delight us romantics. Go see it you will fall in love with V and want to stand next to him as he saves the world.
