V for Vendetta

[cameron_highlander]

So who's seen it? Thoughts (I'm looking at my fellow libertarian minded folks here)?

Personally, I think the directors tin foil hat may have been on a little tight and he had an axe to grind with President Bush.

However, it raises some interesting questions considering the way our world is going (national ID cards, disarming citizens for example). How much freedom are we willing to trade for gov't security....and more importantly, what is one willing to do when that freedom is lost?

Hey piper, I'm thinking about seeing it, is it worth it?

 

[Thompson_JM]

I second that. I saw it last night and thought it was very good.

Personal opinion = best movie of the year. See it. If you can see it in IMAX where you are, even better  :dontpanic:

My personal opinion:
I thought it was terrible dribble.
There were too many sub-political attacks to bring any one "underlying message" to the surface.
They took 3-4 "hot button" topics from the media today - mixed in the Holocaust and Zorro, and there you have it - V for Vendetta.
Personally, I think it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Well it's no team america 

It's nice to see a 1984 scenario that doesn't end tragically for once. Only part that bugged me was the alliteration in V's opening monologue.

Well, i just saw it tonight and it was fantastic, only because it's a refreshing take on film.  Not your typical goodguy/badguy in it's usual sense.  thumbs up.

cheers,

Yeah but what about the sweet fight scenes?

I mean come on... if you use that evaluation guideline then 2 of the three matrix movies totally blew as well.... way too many biblical references.. but like the first one, the SFX and fight scenes were kick ass!

I might see it for the special effect but that's it but I'm 100% with muffin, actually I think he reads WIRED

hell even the original creator of the caracter refused to be in the credits cause he was ashamed of the waste of film

The Symbol of the Government in this movie looks very similar to the French Resistance medal

I thought the movie was great, all the movie genre's put in to one, Comedy, Suspence, Action, Drama, and quite a bit of Irony

I thought it was an outstanding movie. Natalie Portman gave an amazing performance.

Equilibrium is another similar movie which is pretty thought provoking.

I also thought that movie was wicked.
