V for vendetta is the adapted version of the graphics novel written by Alan Moore. Few days back I read an article that the justice was not done to the movie. The graphic novel was much more impressive than the movie itself. Truthfully, I have not read any of these graphic novels, but the movie is just phenomenal! The movie is about a character called "V" who tries to bring a revolution in England by blowing up the House of Parliament, as Guy Fawkes attempted on November 5^th 1605. The movie is based in near future when the USA is no longer a super power and a civil war is going on, which has destroyed its presence in the world. Since then, England is trying to maintain its distance from the United states of America and trying to implement new policies in its political system, which has lead its citizens to dictatorship by a man called Adam Sutler.
The movie is beautifully written, specially its dialogues (thank god for the invention of sub-titles). Hugo Weaving has done exceptionally well as the character "V". Even though he wears a mask throughout the movie, his dialog delivery was just excellent. His older work can also be seen in the Matrix Trilogy as Agent Smith. Natalie Portman as Evey has also done a good job.
I don't know what I am missing by just seeing the movie and not reading the comic books, but the movie has left an impact on me and I couldn't ask for more.
