The dialogue will go over your head like a satellite.

[Evi]

Yeah, it\'s a bit Shakespearean...plus a whole lot of WTF thrown in.

BTW Clips, I think a movie is only a "joint" if Spike Lee directs it.  I think when anyone else directs, it\'s just a film.  At least, that\'s how I\'ve always thought of it.  

Clips, it was all right. Not really very scary. But my theater was full of people who were talking and kept laughing. I think people laugh at horror movies to avoid getting scared by something. It was so annoying.
 
The movie was average.
 
I agree on V, though. I hadn\'t thought much of it, but all the talk has my interest piqued as well.

I finally found the time to go watch it and yes - it was awesome.

( Greets, old Centralites! )

I caught V for Vendetta last friday, and thought that it was an entertaining film with an important message ( given the modern times ). The theme itself was clear: governments shouldn\'t have too much control over their people. Given the Big Brother -phenomenon of our western governments - the fact that our money-income and outcome are being supervised thanks to credit cards, for example - V for Vendetta is a wake-up call for those who still live in the numb state of \'not giving a sh1t\'.

The level of interference is, at the moment, still acceptable, but the direction it is going towards... I am afraid that soon the world will look a lot like the one in V. Totalitarianism - the New World Order.

With that out of the way, though, let me comment on the visual aspects of the film. Natalie Portman is very, very beautiful as Evey, and gives a nice performance - although I have heard critisism of her british accent. It didn\'t distract me, at least. V is arguably among the coolest "villains" in movies to date, with his philosophical quotes and ultra-cool appeal. Hugo Weaving does a great job portraying the masked "hero" ( a hero, or a villain? Hum - you decide ).

The ending scene is, simply put, perfect.

As a film, I give it a 8.5/10. As a message to the people, I give it a 9.5/10.

Finally got to see the movie over the weekend too.  Enjoyed the hell out of it.   I\'m not willing to go as far as Joyda here and predicting a new world order from the movie, but meh.

I saw it too now. Watched it yesterday along with Inside Man.

V for Vendetta is pretty cool.  Kind of artsy in places but overall just a really cool story.

I thought V looked silly in the previews, but they did some cool things with the character.

I\'m just glad he didn\'t talk through the whole film the way he did during the opening monologue. That was annoying, heh.

Verily.

A lot of it came across as being really forced. And it lost a lot of momentum towards the middle.

It\'s certainly a little wierd to be describing it as a "beautiful film".

just like passion of the christ, i\'m a little late with this one....i guess i\'m one of the few that didn\'t enjoy this....v for vendetta? you say?...more like B for Bulls**t...i get the whole gov\'t control thing, but like bobo stated, this thing lost alot of steam toward the middle, and never really regained strength until the end, in which even the ending was like wtf? i hate movies that try to be deep and thought provoking, only to end up being too convulted and too combobulated for it\'s own good...

they had a chance to make the gov\'t control conspiracy scenario decent but this movie was just lackluster at best.*all that tired dialogue in the beginning and everywhere in between was just off-base*...maybe it\'s because this thing was based on a comic, but i just wasn\'t feelin\' it...

I think your type of movie is along the lines of The Punisher or The Phantom. It\'s shallow and to the point.

I think White Chicks was the only movie clips really loved.

heh..gman/jumpy....i actually enjoy action movies and horror joints first..those do not require alot of brain cells ...every now and then i do happen to enjoy gov\'t conspiracy type movies,...it\'s just that this was not a very good one.
