A bastardization of a decent comic into a pseudo-social commentary...

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2007)

An absolutely HORRIBLE movie. Yes, I DID read the comic. No, I am NOT a conservative. And yes, I AM an American. (We do exist ya know) That being said, I was shocked to the point of embarrassment by the shamelessness of this movie.
The comic was not amazing, but the story can at least be applied to any militant and totalitarian government in the past, present, or future. The movie took that story and made a bastardization of it. It was warped and remade into a blatant social commentary on Bush and his current political agenda. Forget embarrassed, I was DISGUSTED by by how such a proactive comic could be so completely destroyed and transformed into a pseudo-social commentary.
If you want to experience an epiphany or some life-altering moment, read the comic. Better yet, read a book. Going outside and rolling around in the grass is more interesting that this movie. Just don't watch V for Vendetta and expect anything more than bad dialogue, bad acting, and even worse, a sugar coated and watered down political ideology featured in a crappy movie that thinks it's art.
