The best movie I've seen in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2006)

First of all, I love comic book movies. X-men, Spiderman, Superman, Batman, all of those are really good action movies. The difference with V for Vendetta is that it has more of a thriller/detective story then just purely action and romance between the lead characters.
The characters in the story are very interesting, and the Wachowski brothers give each one such a powerful story that you lose yourself in each one. First of all, Natalie Portman, Evey, is a beautiful and talented actress, showing some of her best acting in this movie as a confused, dare I say, hostage to V's ideals. V is the most charming movie character I have ever seen and heard. I could watch this movie over and over again and fall in love with his character a million times. The writers did such a great job of making V an intellectual anarchist. The Chief Inspector Finch also has an important role while trying to find V and trying to keep under the radar of the Fascist Brittian Government.
The storyline is magnificent, touching on so many different stories in one epic tale of rebellion against the Dictatorship of John Sutler. V for Vendetta is a movie you'll have to see over and over to understand all of the different tales that the Wachowski brothers try to convey. Don't consider the 132 minute time frame, because you will be a slave to this film's power, and the 2 hours and 20 minutes will blow by before you even grasp the opening scene.
I personally cannot wait for this movie to come out on DVD so I can experience the full effects of this film. I suggest you go right now and see this movie.
