As Moving and intelligent as action movies get.

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2006)

Coming into the movie I had quiet low expectations due to the fact that it is a Comic Book movie and these days studios will make a movie out of anything that has ever graced the pages of a Comic book. The Main character "V" is well acted and very deep which is another surprise as thee cheesy looking mask is a bit discouraging. Natalie Portman's performance is absolutely outstanding and has truly made her in my opinion one of the better actresses in Hollywood. Basically the movie is about thee extremely right wing government in Britain that has formed after a decade of sickness and War, the people live in constant fear, minorities are imprisoned for being different, religious freedom and the freedom of speech are long gone, but out of the oppression arises V who attempts to open the peoples eyes to thee oppression the government is causing. Natalie Portman (Evey) is caught up in it all and takes refuge with V. The movie has many twists and turns but leaves no unanswered questions by the end. Now not only is the movie extremely well written, well acted, and with great action sequences it has a strong message that we must not let fear run our lives and force us to give up our rights, it makes us realize we must stand up to oppression now so our government will not become thee police state that V for Vendetta's worlds has become.
