malevolent junk: I wanted to tear off my toes and stick them in my ears.

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2007)

Deplorable on all accounts. I am extremely disappointed in Natalie Portman, John Hurt, and Stephen Rea for putting their name to something so disgustingly childish. The spoon-feeding regarding the Count of Monte Cristo was depressing; one has to think what kind of audience they are targeting. If V for Vendetta was an ice-pop it would be a mouldy 'Fat-Frog'; seems sweet and fun but actually makes you want to vomit for ever degrading yourself to eat it. Worst feature: The exquisite Natalie Portman's shifting accent between East-End nineteenth century maid and Kensington rich kid. If you liked 1984 you will hate this. However if you loved the comic and are completely undiscerning you will love it! Happy Watching
