L for Library

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2006)

I have no problem with popcorn flicks, and that's why I gave this a 5, but let's keep in mind that there's really nothing too remarkable about this film.
If you think this is even a decent example of that, I urge you to run to your nearest library and lock the door.
The dialogue is weak, and wears its high school level premonitions about the dangers of government control on its sleeve. I feel for the 18-34 demographic that this movie caters to: For them, it'll be a 'intellectual' or 'deep' film with lots of 'symbolism,' when in reality they've seen a film that does all its thinking for them. Vendetta panders to its audience, and it's really too bad. What a great opportunity for something more complex.
'A Dystopia flick for kids who can't read good.'
No thanks, I'd rather see something that gives the audience a little more respect.
