Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Amazing! I must confess I knew nearly nothing of this movie before I had actually seen it. I saw the trailer maybe twice and a billboard here or there, but didn't really know what it was about, though I was very intrigued. I saw it opening night with a group of my friends and I was in awe! The story was very powerful and stirred a place inside of me that I didn't know was there. Now, I'm not the sort to cry at the movies, but I do sometimes get teary-eyed, and V for Vendetta just happened to be one of those movies. It's very powerful and emotional. It kept my interest the whole way through. I never really felt that there was a dull or unnecessary moment. I thought the acting was brilliant, especially by Hugo Weaving (though Natalie's British could've been a bit better). I simply adored the relationship between V and Evey! The visuals and the editing were fantastic! As a film student myself, I hope to one day be a part of such movies in my career. I hope I have not mislead anyone with my critique, as I understand that there are people out there that didn't like it, but, as with every other movie, you can't always win. Though I definitely do recommend seeing it, just to know what it's all about. To give you a better idea of what it's like I would say it's a mix between Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, and 1984, which in my opinion makes for a spectacular movie. I have quite a share of favorite movies and up until now, if you asked me what my favorite movie was I'd have to answer with "give me a category...", but I think that I can safely say that V for Vendetta is my favorite. I couldn't ask for a better movie.
