The trailers I saw of it looked interesting.

The UK reviews I have seen have all given it pretty mediocre reviews.  On the other hand, the US reviews have all raved about it.

Some of the bigger city reviewers try to bash it. Its probably fun if youre not looking for Kirkegaard in live action.

Natalie Portman always bugs me though, decent actor, just seems like such a Vassar girl. I bet shes stuck up and stuff. [me shuffles shoe]

Go watch tbh, whether you like the matrix trilogy or not, the Wachowski brothers have redeemed themselves here.

I really at am a loss for words with this movie.  I dont think I have had a bigger laugh in recent years coming from the cinema with the friends.  Id call it a very british film if wasnt the fact it wasnt made by a british company.

Plot Outline A tale unfolds in a Great Britain thats a fascist state. A freedom fighter known as V uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive society. He rescues a young woman (Portman) from the secret police, and she becomes his unlikely ally.

I dont want to say anymore to spoil it tbfh.

Entertaining from the start, it manages to deliver a political message in strong and stylish way.

Saw it yesterday, I thought it was brilliant too

The film.....sucked.

But then again, the comic (sorry, graphic novel ) is one of my all time favourites (along with other Alan Moores e.g. Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns), so it was always going to be pale in comparison. . . though it was to be expected when you have Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond.  

Hugo Weaving is a somewhat saving grace as V, for someone who has to rely on their voice and flailing their arms every now and again.

The story was similar, it was just the way it was being told, and there was no depth to the background of the story and the Orwellian government that the comic portrayed (and thus set the tone of the story) - in other words, it wasnt dark in the slightest - the movie was the Rockerfella Christmas Tree in comparison.

However, one of my mates who saw it hadnt read the comic either and he quite enjoyed it.

OMG, that was Hugo Weaving? Hadnt realised that til now... probably good, or Id have kept expecting him to say "Mr Andersonnn" at some point.

My mates who didnt know it was him worked it about half way in, talk about a distinctive vocal talent lol. :-)

"Mr Anderson, weve been expecting you."

Bit of a spoiler tbh.  :-)
