Simply put, an Amazing film

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2006)

V for Vendetta is one of the best films I have seen come out in recent years. The writing, as is with other Wachowski films, just short of a miracle and the acting is marvelous as well. Although I had never heard of the comic book before I heard of the movie, I had very high expectations for this from viewing the trailer. Well, my expectations were reached, and exceeded. Although you never see his face, Hugo Weaving's performance is nothing short of brilliant and Natalie Portman is pretty good as well. For such an amateur director, James McTeigue did a wonderful job. each scene is crafted perfectly and the movie flows. Also, there are some good performances from the supporting cast, especially Stephen Rea, who gives a dry but charismatic performance as the cop investigating V. There is also a great message to the film and although advertised as an action film, it is purely drama, and drama at it's best. With some comedy, action, drama, mystery, and even romance, This movie truly has it all and is a must see for all movie lovers alike.
I would also like to mention that the music in this film makes it even better than it already is, and it adds an atmosphere you rarely see in movies.
