Bold/Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2006)

Just back from seeing it and have to say wow! this was a film i thought "hey trailer looks cool" and then when i started to watch it the thought of "oh lots of Brit actors hmmmm!" kind of put me at a point of unease.......why? Well i am a Brit and its strange to see TV actors in big screen films that us Brits know so well running round on a flashy USA film, most of them i myself find hard to really go for because i see actors who do TV soaps 24/7 then once in a blue moon they turn up in a big film and its a case of "hey look its him from......" well that was then but V is now and i can not think of a film in the last 10 years that has been mostly UK actors let loose on a big film and pulled of credible acting to match anything overseas, the film its self is a brave/bold/stunning/thoughtful/clever film, it has no real bad points to say of which is rare theses days though i do think its a love it hate it film, it does not conform to most films and goes about been the film that it is while sticking 2 fingers up at other films who toned down there adaptation of comics in the past. I can go on all night about what makes this film work and others before it fail but your the best person to judge that so all i can say is go see it and treat yourself to one of the best films of its kind ever.
