Could have been a bit more faithful to the comic.

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2006)

OK, the movie was good, but not amazing. I have read the graphic novel and the movie does a decent job of telling the story. As far as the flaws of the movie they are as follows....V needed to be more "unhinged". In the graphic novel V was completely insane, he truly was the "destroyer", in the movie he was a bit toned down which hurt some of the impact of the story. Second, there were lines that were omitted from the film that would have been nothing to add that would have made the move that much better. I also really wish that we saw the whole computer/god thing that happened in the comic. The thing that really kills me in this movie is the ending...SPOILER ALERT...the movie should have stuck with the comic by making Evey don the mask of V rather than having the people of London wear the mask. The movie ending seemed a bit hokey.
So all in all, the movie is worth watching, but to truly understand the story read the comic, it is an amazing work of art and is masterfully written. So read the comic first then go see the movie, it is worth the time.
