Excellent Work

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2006)

Excellent work from all involved. Being a fan of all 3 Matrix movies, (no thats not a typo) I obviously had this movie in my sights for quite a while. It captures everything the Wachowski's crew does well, and leaves what they do not do well pretty much out of sight here. The Effects are seamless, the acting is superb, the story is powerful. The picture starts like many other super hero/comic movies start off. Damsel in distress gets saved from being attacked, robbed and raped by said superhero. After this scene, it becomes something else, something different, which is what the Wachowski's crew is so good at. The Matrix was like something we have never seen before, and V for Vendetta is no different. Hugo Weaving gives as wonderful a performance though his face is concealed he uses his mannerisms, voice, and body language to do his acting for him. Portman buries her work from Closer and gives maybe the performance of her career. Go see it, you wont be disappointed.
