V for Vendetta

[Nivek]

I just watched V today and thought it was great also.

happy to hear you liked it, Venom

Just watched it again tonight after picking up the 2 disk set, forgot how good it was, Definatly my favorite film I seen this year!

Too bad the hype dumped the old V forum after a month after release...

 

[squeekness]

I know, that seemed odd. You would have thought they would have kept the forum around for the DVD at least.

 

[Nivek]

I just wish we still had access to the old postings, alot of great commentaries about the movie!

 

[The Question]

One of the best comic book adaptations ever. Get on that s**t like white on rice.

It was a terrible adaptation. But, it was a great movie.

I really thought that TV guy was going to end up being V...I really wanted to see what he looked like under the mask..I know he was burned but I wanted to see his face.

Exactly what I was going to say.

 

[Nivek]

Well, I can honestly say I like the movie more than the comic.

Same goes with the original Crow comic, it's great on it's own, but as a film it would come off as a huge convulted mess. It was good that they stripped it down and highlighted the base elements.

The messages of V in movie and comic form are very different. The movie, while still very good, is a plain revolution story. The comic was way more.

One of my all time favorite movies.

 

[NERD]

this post belongs in the dc movie thread

 

[Octoberist]

I agree with that notion. This should in the DC thread, not that I actrually care or anything.

 

[Danger Mouse]

I'm sorry. I didn't know that V for Vandetta is a DC publication.

Moved.

I watched the movie tonight myself. I hadn't seen it since the theater and I still loved it. No wait, I loved it more. It really is a shame that Alan Moore was so unsatisfied with teh movie, but I guess it's always hard to see someone else's adaptation of your stuff. My fanfic has a major character that is mine. I don't think anyone could write Kimble as well as me only because he is mine and I alone really know what's going on inside his head. I just hope that Moore takes heart in the fact that so many of us enjoyed the masterpeice that he created.

I thought it was a good movie. Have'nt read the novel so the changes did'nt bother me.

Just got the special edition DVD today. I didn't get to see it at the movies so this was my first time seeing it and I must say that it's a great movie. I liked it alot.


Why wasn't Moore in the credits? I know he doesn't care for the movies made from his comics but they should at least give him credit for writing the comic. They made it look like the Wachowski Bros came up with the ideal for the movie.

 

[swifty]

I love this movie...just love it. I highly recommend buying it.

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I think my Avvy speaks for itself. Saw it 2x in theaters and 2x since I bought the collector's dvd. Comes with some nice goodies. Plan to watch it again tomorrow. Such a great film all around.

Moore doesn't allow his name on any of the adaptations of his work because he's hated every single one -- From Hell, Extraordinary Gentlemen, and V. He said the artists who worked with him on those can have his share of the proceeds.

I saw it on the way to Hong Kong and it was awesome. As a result, I bought the two-disk version yesterday

 

[X-Punisher]

Who's doing that sweepstakes type thing to win a authentic V costume?

 

[kooguy911]

whats up with that crap they have in the 35 dollar set, that tiny mask and a few cards they call posters?!

but other than that, fantastic film.

I didn't bother with any of that, it looked way too cheesy. I just bought the regular set. That was enough for me.

His name is on "From Hell".

 

[ampersand]

His name is on "From Hell".

V was the first time he asked to have his name kept out of it.

V's a classic. One of the best comic movies. My top 3 include Batman Begins, the crow, and V (in no particular order)
