I Give It A ****4 STARS out of 5\n\n"There is no coincidence, only the illusion of coincidence," gravely says the masked hero of "V for Vendetta" half way through the film. \n\nIt is certainly no coincidence that a film written and produced by Andy and Larry Wachowski of "The Matrix" would feature such dialogue, along with a few impressive action sequences, spectacular pyrotechnics and an always-adept Hugo Weaving. That much is par for the course. \n\nBut the film is notable for the questions it raises. Is it coincidence that the flag for a futuristic London bears a symbol reminiscent of the swastika? That the aforementioned hero – the concisely named V – is, in fact, a terrorist? Or that characters in the film draw noticeable parallels to Western politicians? \n\nUnlike other recent comic-book-based movies, "V for Vendetta" is a political thriller of science-fiction proportions. Set in 2020 in a totalitarian England, rooted in over-the-top commentary of Western government and riddled with visual metaphors, "Vendetta" is successfully both action-packed and politically confrontational. \n\nBased on the graphic novel created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, the film begins and ends with the Nov. 5 fireworks celebration of Guy Fawkes Day. Fawkes, a Catholic conspirator who tried to blow up Parliament in 1605 and was eventually hanged, serves as an ongoing symbol throughout the film and an inspiration for V and his deeds. \n\nThe plot follows the masked murderer as he skillfully and systematically avenges what we learn is a painful personal history in a neofascist state of Big-Brother-like laws run by Chancellor Adam Sutler (John Hurt). And though V's vendetta against his society is innately personal, it becomes one of universal importance, first enthralling the strong-minded Evey (Natalie Portman) and eventually the entire city. \n\nEven as his face is hidden by the mask's disturbing smile, Weaving ("The Lord of the Rings," "The Matrix") plays V convincingly. His rich and charismatic voice conveys an interplay of sarcastic wit and gleeful malevolence. The actor's background in stage drama undoubtedly informs the theatrical movements of a man who views society as his own personal stage. \n\nThough Portman loses her flowing locks halfway through the film, her performance only gains intensity. Her English accent isn't faultless, but she continues her knack of emerging as the heart of her films. \n\nDespite these performances and a remarkably intelligent script, "Vendetta" is mostly devoid of human emotion. The story may be character-based, but London 2020 is conspicuously inhuman. Giant speakers line the streets announcing the nightly curfew. Television, more than human contact, is the most prominent method of communication. Any controversial, multifaceted remnants of human history have been banned – anyone who owns an African statue or a copy of the Koran is a sinner at best. \n\nThus, though it carefully investigates issues of morality, tyranny and individuality and sometimes delves into the personal and painful histories of its characters, the film does not elicit emotional reaction until its climax, when the anxiety building throughout the film is suddenly and finally relieved. \n\nUltimately, given a powerfully fitting musical score by Dario Marianelli ("Pride and Prejudice"), vibrant cinematography by the late Adrian Biddle ("Aliens" & "The Mummy") and a restrained downplay of special effects, "V for Vendetta" is downright strange – quietly discomforting, yet refreshingly provocative.

Before I answer, let me say that my brother-in-law is fire chief in Shanksville so responded to the crash.  As a result, I have seen all the immediate after photos so this movie was important for me to see.\n\nYes, I felt the movie was based on fact.  It is well done and not at all exploitative.  I think all Americans should see it.  Those people really were heroes and I would like to think, in the same situation, that I would choose to go down fighting and not just let it happen.\n\nNot a sound was heard in the theatre during the entire film.  I have never been in such a silent theatre.  I also don't think there was a dry eye in the place.  The movie is very emotional and makes you feel like you are right there with them.\n\nOne warning, the movie will be difficult for those that get migraines from extreme motion.  The film is very jittery...like the Blair Witch Project.

It was a great movie. It kept you guessing about what would happen next. \n\nSPOILER: This is for Agent_Check who had questions about the end.\n\nHe had the diamond in his pocket because the robber put it there when he bumped into him at the end.

I liked a lot.  Some of my friends called it liberal propaganda for its anti-governmental themes.  I thought it was interesting, reasonably inteeligent, exciting and well made, although the filmmaking was a little heavy-handed at times (anyone not get the rain/fire/rain/fire/rain/fire. . . parallel?).  I would recommend it, visuals make it worth seeing on the big screen.

Yes, I've seen this movie. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.\n\nI RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE, IT WAS GREAT!!!!

I love that movie.  I think it was Sylvester Stallone's best, even better than Cliff Hanger and the Rocky Series.\n\nAs for living in a Big Brother society, you should definitely worry but you aren't the only one.  We (here in the United States) are in a similiar situation.  But UK is definitely worse than we are (yet).  V for Vendetta is a better example of what is going on.  The rulers are becoming totalitarian.  Whatever we have today (in the UK and the US) is definitely not democracy.  It is more like rule by a handful few who think that they are better than others and they know what is better for everyone.  We here had federal agents pull put a 14-year old girl from school and interrogated because she wrote "I hate Bush" on her myspace account.  Today, in my state, it was just announced that kids in Elementary school (class grades 1-5) will actually be fingerprinted.  I am sure that little kids in KG classes are a real national security threat and BUSH feels that he needs to protect himself from them.\n\nThose people who tell you not to worry are either lying outright in your face or have something to gain from this (such as politicians who will/are rule over you).  Damn it, I for one am not taking this lightly.  If anything, just think of your forefathers who fought and died for these freedoms.  This reminds us that we take these freedoms and ideas for granted and we will only value them once we have lost them.  Our forefathers have done their part and now it is our turn to fight and protect them.\n\nRemember, politicians are your servants.  YOU are supposed to elect them to serve you, not the other way.  If they try to convince you to not to worry because you are a "good" person, then ask them who defines what is "good".  Who decides whether you have been "good" or not?

I liked it. Together with the success of the Blade and Spiderman, it led to a resurgence of comic-book themes. Looking forward to the next film called X-Men the last Stand.\nIMDb users have rated it as 7.3 out of 10 so other people like it as well.

I loved it. 9/10\n\nit's been a couple years since I've watched it, and I'd love to watch it again. Sissy Spacek (who plays the mom) is absolutely wonderful in the movie. \n\nI remember there were certain scenes of the movie that wasn't even in the book and they left out some parts, which disappointed me just a bit. but other than that, Tuck Everlasting's great.

I just saw a few minutes ago and I think that overall the movie was good but the ending was a little farfetched and the dialouge is to dull. The action is very well done and the story is very involving (as you can see In trying not to give it a way) I would go see it, my only major problems are the Hollywood ending and the shortness of the film.\n 4 out of 5 stars.
