Perfect, Amazing, Must See

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2006)

V For Vendetta was one of the movies which I wasn't sure about but knew I had to see anyway. I was really hopeful that it would be a good movie and I was not disappointed one bit. V For Vendetta is an amazing movie. Hugo Weaving puts on a brilliant performance. Having to wear a mask through the whole film you expect the acting to be second degree but his body language shows his emotions perfectly and you don't even notice that the mask has a huge smile on it because of the body language and how well Weaving makes sure the audience know what mood his character is in for each scene.
I was glad that Weaving's character 'V' never actually took his mask off. There was one point I was worried the mask was going to come off and show a really bad make up job but the mask wasn't taken off and kept him mysterious like he was throughout until that point.
Natalie Portman does a good job putting on an English accent and did really well in the shaved head scene which obviously they only had one chance to do. You couldn't have asked more from her and her performance is flawless. To kiss a mask as well and make it look convincing was a hard job but she did that perfect too.
The film is brilliant and I couldn't have asked for more. I haven't seen many films twice at the Cinema before but I may well go see this one again soon. It also makes me want to read the Comic series. Highly Recommended.
