V for Vendetta : Smaller, Shorter, and Violently Cut

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2007)

I was a bit disappointed the first time I watched V, enough to give it a 8/10. It was the cheesy and prolonged ending that bothered me and spoiled the otherwise very enjoyable movie. In my opinion they should have ended it right when the subway train left off with V for his viking funeral, and all the *freedom-fight* sequences after that weren't necessary, just a cliché in the moment you least want it.
But I read Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel the other day and it saddened me how much of that great story was omitted, even the overall context was changed and mellowed down to modern politically correct anti-Bush statements.
So great film, poor adaptation and a big disappointment for me.
