Another Wachowski brothers flop riding on previous success

Rating: 2/10 (18 July 2006)

A movie, about a psychopath parading as a hero with lofty ideals. In the end, it's just a pathetic revenge movie pretending to be about something else.
Our introduction to the character V in the movie consists of horrible alliterative hyperbole. Yes, we get your name is "V". Yes, every second word out of your mouth starts with the letter V. I get it. Move on. It's that kind of crap you can expect from the rest of the movie.
If the movie was going to be about revenge, there should have been far more action, and far less talk.
If the movie was going to be about a revolution and hero, there should have been far more hero, and far less psychopath.
The scene with the destruction of the courthouse to the tune of the 1812 Overture... pathetic. Poorly directed, poorly thought out, poorly executed.
the Wachowski brothers are riding on the success of Matrix, nothing more. They have great ideas for movies, but poor character development and story telling skills.
