V For Vendetta

« Last Post | Next Post »

Last night I saw a "sneak-peak" showing of V For Vendetta -- that "uncompromising vision of the future from the creators of The Matrix trilogy," based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore -- which officially opens today.

I loved it. Really well done and engrossing. Natalie Portman, despite her bad accent, is great. Hugo Weaving does a superb job as V, making a somewhat ridiculous character (on celluloid, anyway) into something that works. And the message is there, heavy-handed but white-hot. Overall, it's just a solid film that delivered beyond my high expectations. Not an Oscar contender, but a really stunning ride.

Go see it this weekend. This movie deserves to be huge!

I'm surprised that the movie's getting fairly decent reviews in the US, but absolutely awful ones here in the UK. Then again, subject matter probably plays a large role.

Can't wait to see it later this week though.
