twenty-something

« Review: February 2006 | Main | Review: November 2006 »

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!
