They got it all wrong!

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2006)

First of all, if you know and love the original comic book don't go and watch the movie! Those "matrix" dudes did not know what it was all about. They got it all wrong! The setting is wrong. Their is no feeling of total control, despair and starvation created. That sort of feeling you probably have living in a totalitarian state like north Korea today. The classic gun powder treason story is plain unnecessary. The leader is a total different character and his ending is ridiculous.
Warning Spoiler
The story about the self produced virus is laughable. Evey is also portrayed in a false matter.The only good parts in the movie are the ones that stick close to the book like Natalie Portmanns part in the fake prison. V is not killing people randomly in the comic. And they should have used the original speech for his TV announcement. With those pictures of Adolf and Mussolini. And for god's sake "V For Vendetta" is not supposed to be a love story!! For those who do not know the comic book, do not watch it either. The action sequences are shitty and have no real motivation. Go and buy the comic. It's probably in the top 5 list of every comic book fanatic. To those matrix dudes: Go and learn what a film based on a comic could have been. Watch Spider Man, Ghost World or Sin City. And PLEASE do not think of doing a film version of Watchmen, Transmetropolitan or Give Me Liberty!!
