excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2006)

"V for Vendetta" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The attention to detail is amazing. The plot is definitely intriguing, and creates suspense without being cheesy or cliché. Its absolute lack of subtlety is refreshing...this movie doesn't waste time hinting at things or make the watcher have to guess at meanings and ideals. The actors were well chosen and fit the parts perfectly. Hugo Weaving in this movie is...well, all I can say is "wow!" He is just that good. Best of all, the director never gave in to the temptation to reveal too much just for the shock value (case in point: V never takes off the mask), or include heavy-handed, unnecessary drama. Everything is straightforward and direct. I loved it!
