Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2007)

I'm from San Francisco. When I went to see V for Vendetta, I had heard both positive and negative comments about this movie. Most of the comments I had heard, however, were positive. So I went to see this movie expecting it to be good. My brother and I were both sorely disappointed.
People think that this film is brilliant. The truth is, even the author of the original graphic novel, Alan Moore, was not willing to cooperate with the conversion of his work into a screenplay by the Wachowski brothers. The screenwriters I find far gone from professional, this movie rushed and executed terribly by James McTeigue, and an all-around terrible movie. Though I always agree with anti-war and anti-totalitarian politics, this I find an ignorant liberal stab at its own party and nothing more than a pretentious action flick.
Maybe I saw the wrong movie, who knows, but the glowing sign said "V for Vendetta". It's strange, really, whenever I tell anyone I didn't like it, they say that I didn't understand it, that I don't understand revolutions. I find it kind of funny that they think that's how revolutions work. People these days are so desperate they'll accept anything on the subject with starry-eyed enthusiasm.
