V is for Vendetta

Go see it, now.

those who have, comments? I'll elaborate tomorrow, but since it's. . . like 9AM there, you Brits go effing watch it

My first comment is that there is no "is" in the title.

Secondly, it is a superbly crafted film. I went in not knowing what to expect, and I was nothing but pleasantly surprised. It's not just another blockbuster mindless action free-for-all, but rather, a very thought-provoking film with intelligent dialogue and an imaginative plot. Don't pass up the opportunity to see this in the theatre, though- the well-placed and nicely timed action scenes make it worth seeing on a large screen.

Other than the few complaints I had for changing a couple things (Evey, NOT blowing up parliment in the begining, et cetera), I was very happy with the outcome. The cast was pretty much perfect, the themes were thought-provoking, real-life history was implemented very well, and the overall script was excellent. I was disappointed with some of the action, however. Mainly because I didn't expect it, nor want it. There was very litte, if any in the original comics, so I don't know. But the action WAS done well, I can't deny that. Up until the final fight, you wouldn't even know it was done by those brothers who made the Matrix.

Overall, it was just a great movie. I think it'll satsify anyone: those who've read the comics, those who like action, those who prefer love or drama, and those who just want to see an all around good storyline/script.

I might rent it once it comes out on DVD. Im not a big fan of the Matrix but since this really has nothing to do with the matrix I might rent it once it comes out, because it does look really good. :)

looks interesting

Are the comics under the same name, or is it different.

I'd rather read the comics first, and if this is as successful as it seems it'll be I should have the time ot get hte books first.

Apparently Moore has completely dissasociated himself from the production of the movie because it doesn't cling to his original ideals (or something along those lines). Perfectionist.

When did it come out?

I've already read the Watchmen. If its on that level of awesomeness, then I might be forced to go see this over spring break.

I was kind of afraid that it would either be awful or amazing. I'm glad it was the latter. I couldn't stop from being amazed at V's dialogue.

First person to post a spoiler gets my foot up their ***.>:0

great movie. for your own protection

What the hell?



Either way, it seems like an interesting movie. I might watch it if time spares me.

Saw this on opening day.

Great flick :)

I wish there was a film that didn't make me ask questions, for a minute I thought they filmed it in london (note I have not read the book yet) then I heard it was filmed in berlin, why the hell are you going to import a bunch of bloody englishmen. and if anyone watches the domino sence, he picks the last standing one if you look closer there are 2 dominoes standing.

Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand, not Middle-Earth. What's your bag?

lol in the beginning the guy kept saying words that started with V,Any one could pick a letter and find every word that starts with v iv done it with a few letters.

You saw Ultraviolet? My condolences! I'm actually morbidly curious to hear about just how bad it was.

From another thread:

Hugo Weaving... Speaking entirely in V's?

*** ****it, now I know I have to see this film. I'll download it tomorrow night and see if I can get my brother's old projector working.

...If not I could always, you know, go to the cinema...

lmao how much research did you do to find that?

,,!,,

Ooo, quite the witty retort.

HAHAH \n|n/

Basterd.

Stop it.

lmao

in my sign but it didn't work out right

but thats all that poped out. i watched it again..great movie. the comic book sold out,so when another shipment comes in I'll copy pages of it.

It was "all right." The movie itself was good, horrible acting on Natalie Portman's part though, 'least what I thought. And, naturally, didn't agree with the overall message the movie had to offer. Bunch of bull**** if you ask me.

I never quite finished the book, but I liked the movie despite all the changes they made. I didn't really like the romantic aspect, but the rest was all exactly what I would expect from an Alan Moore film. It could have been better, but I wasn't expecting anything too great. DC sucks *** in the film department.

[Quote=Azusa]DC sucks *** in the film department.

I thought Batman Begins was a good movie.

just got back from it. I thought the movie was fairly decent, and i actually enjoyed it. There wasnt any ****ty acting, so i entirely have to disagree with KoH. Natalie portman is smoking IMO just the way she is, of course i wasnt too fond of the G.I. Jane look. V was cool, there werent too many cheesey *** action scenes that were entirely unbelievable.

Im really interested in reading the book if there is one...not a comic book mind you.

No I mean, you wanted to know if there was a book, and technically there is. Since a graphic novel CAN be considered a book, rather than a comic.

Yeah, i know, but i was looking for more like a 'book' book you know. The last book that i read that had pictures was 20k leagues under the sea...and it was one of those "worlds greatest classic" editions that had illustrations on every other page. I dont know if thats what you meant or not, but from what i understand you are talking about your standard issue comic book, which im not really into.

A graphic novel is basically a really long comic book... and as far as I know, there's no actual "book". As that would be kind of dumb.

ah, thanks for clearing that up.

Huh, unimpressive. It's like 1984: The Comic: The Movie.

Kind of fun watching it in London. :)

Also explains where the band Shadow Gallery got their name. Also explains why their new album is called Room V.

Saw it over break as I said I would. It seemed that the love aspect felt kinda tacked on, as if half way through shooting someone said "Hey, you know what would be cool? If they fell in love lol!". Other than that, I loved it. I'll be getting the dvd and book most likely.

the 2nd fast and furry was better, I wish I could get a pic of my car on her I tried racing someone with my other car and I blew the engine up and crashed into a tree and the air bags blew up. I don't like the love aspect of the movie, niether did I like the end of it but it was ok, do we see a second V coming? lmao I would love to see a female version of V.

I thought this movie set the bar for comic movies. 10/10

although could someone please explain how V was able to survive the testing AND the explosion at the medical research centre (cant remeber the name)

do you remember the female doctor? she explained it, It's something within his body that he has a reaction to.

lmao probly,all I have to say is that she should get bigger tits and longer hair if she's going to do another movie,or unless V roles off the train when it xploded and then he has daggers for legs and arms(bad thought). I don't no I would like to see what they thought up for a 2nd one.

k, shut up now.

The closest I can come to having a problem with this movie is that if he can survive explosions and viruses, you'd think that bullets in that low of a scale wouldnt bother him.

There like, what, 6 guys, each of which fired a full clip (guess 15 bullets to be super generous), and then 12 rounds from the guy with the revolver? If you assume that even half of the bullets hit, and that only like 1/4hit him in his arms/legs (which seems unlikely, since he only seemed to be bleeding from his shoulder), thats only like 13 bullets hitting him. Considering that he survived explosions, I'd think that he would make it through that, but like I said, its a minor point. When I get the DVD, I'll probably go through that scene frame by frame to count the hits, but even if he only gets hit once its not a big enough point to ruin the movie. Generally, if its something that you would have to be an ubernerd like me to notice, I let it go.
