Reviews

Donald Quentin (zgp-17116) On the eve of the suppression of freedoms following 9/11 and the government spying and intrusions this was just the film we needed. Over ten years later it is still exciting and riveting. Whether seen as entertainment or a polemic against right-wingers: V is a hero.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 Perhaps the only example of a 'Bonfire Night' film I can think of, this graphic-novel adaptation casts Hugo Weaving as the vigorously verbose avant-garde anarchist known only as 'V' and places him within a bleak dystopian Britain ripe for an uprising, making a meal out of the whole 'ideas are more powerful than the men behind them' theory while also providing plenty of verbal and visual splendour in the form of a tight script and some even tighter stylish set-pieces. While 'V For Vendetta (2005)' certainly has its faults, especially in its rather slow second act - not to mention the fact that Natalie Portman's English accent is almost criminal, this is an entertaining and, at times, thought-provoking piece that manages to maintain a decent distance from its somewhat touchy subject matter and to exist purely as a piece of fairly intelligent but equally enjoyable filmmaking. 7/10

Smoreni Zmaj Placed in futuristic Britain, this movie tells a story about dictatorship and the man who became symbol of it's downfall. People from many, not to say majority, countries in today's world can easily identify with the characters. Great adaptation of DC comic and always gladly seen Natalie Portman.8/10

newyorkcine Well this film checked all the boxes. Evil Christian conservatives are Nazi perverts out to literally kill you if you are gay, muslim, journalist, writer or uppity woman. This film is based on a comic book but is actually more comical in it's contrived mactivist worldview. It ruined an otherwise entertaining film and it's no wonder Alan Moore wants nothing to do with it. Sad. Stupid. I know there are people who hate art, but can't they sabotage it with a little more subtlety? If you're making a movie, inject your ideas by all means but don't make us gag on it. Real modern governments and societies are imperfect systems with some good and some bad. Oh yeah, and you know it's okay to murder people cause they're Nazis. M'kay. The irony of this is that real Muslims and Christians have a lot in common, but anti-culture hacks and useful idiot actors and liberal arts majors want to divide and conquer. And they're doing a great job.
