The movie was good, although it dragged at times.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

film was great.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

i saw it today i liked it. not as much asction as the commericals make iit. but the few action scenes they had where the best.i liked the final scene between v and the 10 cops.

 

[CrimsonMist]

this was an incredible movie. I loved it. The changes i felt were alright. Im not complaining, except with the Voice of Fate. I didnt like how they made him this evil, racist TV personality. I prefer the radio voice that sooothes the people(with bull**** of course, until V comes). I didnt like the typical death scene of him either.

the chances made, with the exceptions above, were fine. I dont think the ending could have been any more perfect than it was. That whole part, i had this big smile on my face. It was incredible.

If they were similar characters I would agree, but they are seemingly two completely different characters. And dont forget Dr. Doom.

The best way to view the film is to--assuming you have read the Graphic Novel--forget the expectations the Graphic Novel set and view it as an independant work of art. It was an amazing film, although the Graphic Novel is far superior.

 

[Darthphere]

Wow, Darthphere is going to crucify you man..

Nah, ill allow the boy to live.....for now.

 

[Darth Elektra]

I would say Darth Vader is a better masked man, and secont comes in the Lone Ranger,lol,[sarcasm, I forgot to put this on saying my favorite trilogy was Underworld,lol.]

Honestly V comes in secont behind Vader.

Have they announced anything yet?

 

[The Question]

I agree with pretty much all of this. Furthermore...

Spoiler

I do resent them changing Evey's standing in society, though. I can't quantify the change in significance to the story, but I know it's a cowardly change to make.

Something that bothered me greatly was the brevity of the concentration camp doctor's (I don't remember her name) journal exposition. I think it would have been good to explain that V was himself a botanist and wasn't just stealing seeds from an impound vault and planting the ones that would have pleased his fellow prisoner Valerie. He's a botanist and a chemist, and gained their trust by not hurting anyone, but just tending his garden. He deliberately created the explosion at the camp using materials he used in gardening. This stuff shouldn't have been left out.

They also shouldn't have left out V's heart-to-heart with Lady Justice, and shouldn't have omitted the fact that the government was guided by a central computer (the only love of the Chancellor's life), and V had tapped into it.

The most egregious liberties taken were these, and I wouldn't even consider excusing these failures or listening to the excuses of others (as if I ever do anyway):
*Changing the nature of the relationship between Evey and V
*Having V rethink his actions and character because of Evey's recriminations. I'm sorry, did anyone read the book and somehow think he wasn't an unrepentant, twisted anti-hero for which there is no place in society on a continuing basis?
*Not having V kidnap and torment the "Voice of England" guy
*Evey trying to warn the priest when she went undercover
*V not speaking the first line of "Sympathy for the Devil" when he first confronts the priest. I mean, for the love of God, the first song during the credits is by the Stones! What the hell?!

One more thing (directed at the poll, not any specific poster):
"Good,but a little to political." How is that an option in the poll? How is that even a valid criticism? This story is supposed to be political through and through. It is nothing, if not political. If you can't handle that unquestionable fact, stick to critiquing the meaningless, pretentious, weak pseudophilosophical eye candy that was "The Matrix" franchise (that is not a criticism of anyone who likes those movies, by the way... it certainly is a criticism of anyone who thinks they're "deep" or unique on a creative level, though). I knew from the second I heard who was producing this movie that it would fall short of the source material. This wasn't a pathetic joke like the movie 'League of Extraordinary Gentleman," but the failures mentioned earlier are damning enough to warrant harsh criticism from anyone who's actually read the book. Alan Moore hates anything he writes to be made into movies, but I can understand if he was rolling in his crypt right now (his "crypt" meaning his house, which from the accounts I've heard resembles a crypt... or at least the front door does...).

That said... what they did right, they did very well. I give it a C+. All in all, it was okay.

Fair points. Although,

Spoiler

Evey warning the preist, while a departure, was necessairy for time reasons. Because of time restraints, they had to cut out or cut short the sub plots and ommit some less important scenes. Since the sub plost and smaller scenes still had bearing on the main plot, this forced the writers to change some things, such as Evey's leaving V, to work around the plot holes.

Well I think it was a great movie. I had liked the novel but mostly forgotten it and came in cold knowing it had gotten great reviews but a bit skeptical with the W. Brothers attached. It was really ****ing good. Probably the best comic book movie made to date. I know fans will whine about the changes but some were neccesary. We did not need to see the cop Finch acid trip or another torture scene. We needed V to stay mysterious for theatrical reasons on screen so his gardening was cut and it saved time. Also, it was agood idea to cut out spending time with the "Big Brother." As that makes him like big brother and if it worked for George Orwell in the much superior novel 1984 to any comic book, than it works here I think just fine. I think we understand the maddness but it is good if it seems as distant as any politican trying to control us.

And as for the change of making it about a govvernment using fear to manipulate its people of terrorism that it exaggerates and in this case, creates is needed. There is no fear of super powers going to war right now because there is only one super power. It needed to be brought to modern times. If anything all these changes seem reasonable and wise. I thought there would have been more anger that they removed much of the diologue that portrayed V as an anarchist and in this movie it can be assumed he is fighting for liberty and democaracy.

Oh well, great movie either way though.

 

[realestmutant45]

Yeah,really enjoy it.Must see it on the I-Max,if there is one in a town near you.

 

[kainedamo]

Don't you think they copped out alot? I mean, leaving no mention of anarchy at all!

 

[Movies205]

How come there isn't an option on this poll for "It sucked"

The guy robbing the store screamed "anarchy in the UK!"

V for Vendetta is the Citizen Kane of terrorist/superhero movies.
