Based on the popular graphic novel by Alan Moore, V for Vendetta's screenplay was written by the Wachowski brothers (of The Matrix fame) and directed by their protégé, James McTeigue. Controversy and criticism followed the film since its inception, from the hyper-stylized use of anarchistic terrorism to overthrow a corrupt government and the blatant jabs at the current U.S. political arena, to graphic novel fans complaining about the reconstruction of Alan Moore's original vision (Moore himself has dismissed the film). Many are valid critiques and opinions, but there's no hiding the message the film is trying to express: Radical and drastic events often need to occur in order to shake people out of their state of indifference in order to bring about real change. Unfortunately, the movie only offers a means with no ends, and those looking for answers may find the film stylish, but a bit empty. --Rob Bracco

Customer Reviews of V for Vendetta (Widescreen Edition)
Interesting While I do not agree with the popular consensus of Newspapers and magazines that this film is a load of rubbish, at the same time I do not believe that it is deep or extremely thought-provoking either. The truth is this is neither a horrible movie, nor a movie for the ages. I believe that this movie was not intended to spark mass violence on a national or international scale. I think that this movie's intention was to get people to think. No more, no less. It was to get people to think about the world they're in. It parodies the United States' government, this is true, and it reinforces this parody with acts of terror and violence, but not with the intention of encouraging the acts themselves. <
>When someone makes an action film usually their purpose is to have an o.k. plot with cool action that will generate profits. Others, like the Wachowski brothers intend a somewhat less shallow meaning. With this movie, they've had to compromise a bit. I believe their purpose for this film was the same as Orwell's in writing 1984, that we must be careful about what we let the world become by our pacifism. I think they reinforce that purpose with images of British monuments being destroyed to show us the possible results of our pacifism. However, those images simultaneously drown the message a bit. <
>Many newspapers argue that this is simply a fantasy about blowing stuff up for fun. I think they automatically disregard this film due to the fact that it is an action film that is trying to make a point as valid as the one in The Constant Gardener. And even though the message does not come across too clearly, that does not authorize critics to disregard with that much ease. The clarity of a message does not change its validity, which the New Yorker along with many others need to learn, if they have not already.
V for Vendetta poses some very interesting questions & makes for an entertaining piece!
What makes V for Vendetta so interesting is that it is a different film then you'd expect it to be! V(Hugo Weaving) rescues Evey at the start of the movie from a few punks & at that point, I was confused cause I wasn't sure if he was a bad guy or a good guy having knowing nothing about the movie before I watched it other then the fact that Natalie Portman was in it of course. then he rescues her after killing many cops in which was basically blood bath after she watches him blow up a building & the movie has taken a dramatic turn. She's now his prisoner & he plans to continue his attacks of revenge against the government. V is an extremely experienced killer while no one knows his real name & we never see his face. but all his points against the government are valid & though I don't agree with him killing everyone as the solution, its his motivation that make this movie so different & so much fun! Of Evey(Natalie) escapes from the killer & they don't exactly become enemies as he keeps trying to get her to be like him & since they are still friends, sorta anyway, something happens with the both of them & they fall in love! & the final question is, will this effect Evey's decision at the end of the movie? Guess you'll have to wait to see what I'm talking about. It's a truly entertaining piece of work! recommend this to anyone who's looking for something with alot of action & makes some sense! Good film to catch!
superb
I will keep my review brief as everyone else shares their opinions of V and such...Bravo to the cast & crew of this fine film. A job well done.
