i saw this movie for my birthday, my fiance's family took me. it was, by far, the best present i could possibly recieve. beautifully made, poetic, and a political stance to be marvelled at. the graphic novel is quite different from the movie, but i must say both are absolutely delightful.

I must say that I just saw the movie a few days ago and I was very impressed. But is V really dead.
I could watch the movie over and over. I just hope that there is another one.

So, anyone pick up the DVD yesterday?

I couldn't I'm poor until September

i got the 2 disc special edition box set and i must say its pretty awesome. this movie has got to be one of the best to come out this year

Great movie. I've watched the spec DVD like 10 times since getting the movie. It's hard to watch other films when watching a movie that is so deeply layered as V. I think it will influence future comic/graphic novel based movies IMO. BTW has anyone seen the site thefutureisours.com

You know it’s a good movie when even my WIFE likes it... she usually only likes mush, but loved the story (with a bit if explanation from me). The did indeed nail it, and I had doubts about how the book could possibly be translated to the big screen... the Brothers got it right! BTW, how could anyone not like Natalie Portman? She is definitely HOT!

I saw the movie in the theater and watched it 3 times on DVD. For some reason I just love this movie. It could be cause I think Natalie is so cute.

The scene where V says this really long sentence with every word begining with a "v" was amazing. Watch it with the subtitles on to get the full effect.

I loved the movie, it just seems like a far off future version of the Revolutionary war in Britian. It was a little confusing, but it's totally on my Christmas list.

Yeah it's supposed to be in the near future. Even though I'm American I thought it was cool that Britian became superior, you just never see that and it gave it a different perspective.

I thought it was somewhat of a pale shadow of the book, I'm afraid. Some of the best writing from the book - crucial speeches of V's which could and should have been simply cut-and-pasted across - were missing: and V's initial speech,

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."

...it's just over-egging the pudding. Clumsily written, it's an attempt to shoe horn every single word beginning with 'v' into one speech. If the intention was a Brechtian distancing of the audience, fair enough: if it was supposed to captivate, as does the speech V gives to Lady Justice in the graphic novel, it falls far short of the mark.

The Wikipedia article lists differences between the novel and the film, and for me, they mostly weaken the impact of the story, most notably the ending in which for no apparent reason Sutler is delivered to V for execution, and the sentimental uprising of the masses, all of whom have masks: and the central moment of the novel, in which Evey takes on V's mask and role, is fluffed. V is made into a cuddly character who makes Evey breakfast and flirts with her; the ending is rendered sentimental and banal: and some of the best sequences of the book are omitted, as are some of the central characters.

I have to admit I was disappointed - though not as much as I was by The Matrix Reloaded.

Exactly why Alan Moore didn’t want to be credited in any way with the movie. The movie isn’t his work.
Actually he disassociates himself with all the films based on his work and I can understand his point of view. He conceders his graphic novels and the movies based on them as two completely separate entities.

I still enjoyed the movie. I watched it opening night and I own the DVD.

Is the book really good- I'm embarressed to say I didn't buy it when I had the chance.

I rented this for tonight so thought I'd do a little research to see what it's about. Now, after reading the BTS threads about it, I'm all jazzed to see it.

I cracked up when I read this! Thankfully, my husband is happy to 'explain' things to me.

I think we're both gonna love it!

I think it's safe to say that both hubby and I thought this movie was okay. Not great. I was disappointed. But I was amazed at the similarities in the attitude of our current governments and the eerie possibilitues of our future...

And Natalie was adorable, as usual.

Tonight. Aeon Flux!

Disappointed? Did we hype it up too much

Aeon Flux... I got about half way through that one.
