V is for Victorious! Vivacious! And most of all, Vindincating!

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2006)

There's never been a movie I have ever seen that would turn out the way it did. "V for Vendetta" is bold, vivid, graphic, and settling all at the same time. Natalie Portman is excellent in everything she does. Playing Evey is not bad. Her British is at top notch. The beginning is very good, and I thought it would be to plain at first. In her other movies, she was always bold in every one of them. In the beginning, she looks more naive than bold. Just wait later on. She even pulled a "Demi" in this movie, and the confinement scenes were played out beautifully. Hugo Weaving did an outstanding job as "V", the man behind the mask. And that Guy Hawkes mask is forever embedded in my mind. The poetic lyrics, the subtle lines of all the classics(books) intrigued me more than the action. And the fight scenes were very fascinating as well. The daggers were my favorites weapons. They were more like giant switchblades. And that body armor he wore did more protecting that a Kevlar vest ever would. V was very prepared! This movie was worth the wait and the watch, I know London will recover from the chancellor's evil, and the torch will be passed to others who believe. "V for Vendetta" is the new all time hit of 2006. Enjoy it while you can. 5 stars!
