from the creators of the matrix and George Lucas' butt puppet comes this steaming pile of crap.

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2006)

When George Lucas's little butt monkey James mcteigue starts directing movies, we know we're screwed. i'd really like to cut loose on this movie but the guidelines say different. Anyway, an extremely intriguing premise, excellent setting, & well written conflict from Alan Moore. and after seeing this film, I understood why he disowned it. excellent acting from Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, hell even Stephen Fry...but the entire V for Vendetta film experience felt like seeing the matrix 3 (wachowskis, go figure) laced with a few of the good parts from the first matrix. Being an anarchist in politics, I like the thought of a hero against totalitarian governments, but I found myself spun about thousands of times in this movie. Many things didn't make sense or were off tone. By the end I was pulling my hair, biting my lip, and screaming for the guy behind me to stop...but that damn projectionist kept it going. Another of Alan Moore's art destroyed by Hollywood, and another piece of caic from the Wachowski's.
