Entertaining, but not the revolution I expected to see...

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2006)

I still don't know... Does V belong in the list of Great Films like Bladerunner, Fightclub and The Matrix 1, or is it another weak comic-book ripoff? The writer of the original comic V didn't want his name on the film poster, and the Wachowski Brothers didn't want to direct the film, they only produced it... Hmmm, makes you wonder, doesn't it? Sure, the film's intriguing look on matters like terrorism, freedom and individuality should shock the world, especially the USA, but I'm afraid the message will not be understood by the average big fat coke drinking popcorn eating redneck... Will he really see the link between the Twin Towers and the British parliament? The movie itself is full of dialog. Good work, but maybe to much. I think they put to much effort in trying to make the audience understand the complexity of the comic (and the subject). Too bad.
