I was blown away

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2008)

Yes i'm a political leftist and yes i have a lot of sympathy for the main character V. The first time i saw this movie on DVD i was sold within the first minutes. It's just great. The references to the current political situation in USA and Europe is well thought out.
There are 3 reasons why other people do not like this movie: 1) They are right wing moralist with total wrong understanding of "terrorism". Remember that Terrorism was introduced into this world as a good thing. The word was developed during the Russian revolution in the fight of the people against the Zar. It got a negative meaning at the end of the twenties. Thats why they have to give a 100% "Pro Terrorism Movie" a low ranking.
2) They do not understand that this is a comic adaption with comic characters. There don't need to be something realistic. Like Sci-Fi it has to be logically inside it's own created universe and it is. The failures (like a few chronological errors in the Jordan Tower scene) are just so minor that they are irrelevant. Or in terrorism slang: It's just collateral damage.
3) They are expecting an action movie. As the trailer looked like one. I personally wish that there had been more dialogs and drama instead of the action parts.
So from my point its a clear 10/10.
