Classic Comic Flick Action- V Vendetta
10 April 2010
Great Comic book action, a combination of real life vendettas, without to heavy a storyline and typical comic book humor. A young dame falls victim to the night and is rescued by here hero “The most wanted man in the county. She then and falls to the love affection of the most dangerous man in the world. As the story unravels she becomes aware of secrets of the night and naively winds up in a cereal of events beyond her control. She is lead off into the mystery of believing or not believing who to support the government or the Vengeful Vendetta.

This is one for the revolutionist in you!

Interesting, entertainly disturbing. In the beginning you are not sure where this film is leading you. As the plot unravels and the mystery is unfolded nothing is left for the viewer to be confused yet the end is still surprising in parts. It is beautifully narrated in various ways. At times just when you thought parts may be getting corny, true emotion grabs you, with the sheer enjoyment of the change of pace and great action supplemented with good acting.
There are many references and symbolisms scattered throughout the film, for the discerning viewer to glean and make comparisons with an already degenerating Free British soceity. (Guatamo bay comes to mind in some parts.) Check out the orange attire with bags on heads.
An explosive (LOL) and different but touchingly refreshing film. I recommend this one to watch

Can't recommend this one enough. A dark, meaningful interesting movie with a different and thoughtful approach.

One of the best graphic novel adaptations
06 December 2008
Adapted from Alan Moore's comic mini-series, V for Vendetta is a Hollywood production with all the expected visual panache and drama, but it stands out from the standard blockbuster through its atmospheric mood and surprisingly thought-provoking themes. The film is set in a dystopian vision of London where society is strictly controlled by a fascist government. Of all adaptations of graphic novels, this counts as one of the best. In the graphic novel the polarities of anarchism versus fascism were skewed into something more hazy, a blurry mix of political messages moving from anarchy to socialism to liberal freedom-fighting. But I feel the film is a product of its time, and if it dumbs down the violence and anarchism, or raises issues with the increasingly fascistic-conservative nature of American politics, then surely that’s a good thing if it can then further affect wider audiences.
