I Loved this film

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2006)

There's something very wrong with this country when a fantastic film such as the likes of this is viewed by only myself and two other people in the cinema. Being a fan of the original Alan Moore book i was originally worried that this film would be twisted and warped beyond all recognition and in a way "dumbed down" to pave the way to make it more GIMMICKY. Whilst not strictly adhering to the story of the books the film alters it enough to stay true to the principles and appeal of the book and keep fans on their toes and finding new things. There are some quite stunning visual moments within the film which can beat down nay sayers who say that the studio have made just another action movie. Hugo Weaving is amazing as V. it's a remarkable performance even with the mask on. He just has a very powerful presence that is required for a role of this sort. There are some really moving moments in this film which sent chills down my spine and also some quite disturbing ones. In the opening moment with Evey and the finger-men, even though i knew what was going to happen i was dying for someone to save her. I thought this was an amazing film and definitely the best thing i've seen this year i heavily recommend it
