V for Very Very Good...

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2008)

This is another take on a graphic novel and brings the comic to life.
Hugo Weaving plays the mysterious V, who has survived a government experiment and fights the 'Totalitarian' state.
Natalie Portman's accent is fake. its very easy to tell, for a British person but she plays her part nonetheless with perfection.
The film has some great fight scenes and the view of London is beautifully stunning.
But it is the V character alone that is great, he is mysterious and weird, the mask is that of Guy Fawkes, a British legend who tried to blow the royal family, but his plans were foiled and he in return was burnt alive.
Hugo Weaving recites the lines of Shakespeare with great admiration and love, its beautifully spoken.
A very good adaptation of the comic.
