The Vendetta Has Only Just Begun
5 of 10 found this helpful V FOR VENDETTA 5/5
V For Vendetta is a dream come true to every movie fan that loves to laugh, or that loves to somehow get involved with what their watching. When I went to the movies I expected a lot from this movie, and I got what I will always remember as one of my top ten movies, probably top 3 movies all time for me. There is action, but what you don't see too often is an action movie with a great story presented in the form of ideas, which are carried out with impressive results. This movie has a lesson about what seems to be inevitable in today’s world, we are moving towards a horrible future, that has DELL computers still on top. I can see this movie happening in real life, and that is the straight truth from someone who sits back and watches the world move by the minute. When a movie compels me to want to see this movie every day, that means a whole lot to a person in my position.
The cast brings something that is hard to come by in these days of movies, they really do bring emotion to the screen like no other action movie(except Lord Of The Rings Trilogy).Hugo Weaving is unbelievable as V, in which he has to show emotion through movements, and excels at it like no other. The emotion is what drives his character to being real, and not some made up cartoon character. Natalie Portman does a great job as Evey, a lady with a troubled past, that needs to free herself from the fear that runs this nation. She has her head shaved, not many woman would do that but she did. The entire cast for the movie was perfect, nothing else like it in this type of movie, which is why I've watched about 10 times within a week. It is one of the best ever movies ever made in my mind.
The setting is insane, it is a truly horrible future for the world, US in shambles and England prevails. The environment is dark and gritty to the point that it becomes a surprise if you see anything else. It does remind me a lot of Adolf Hitler, there are no diseased humans, 1 African American throughout the whole picture, and absolutely no Asians that I can recall, it really is the most centered picture that will not crumble to today’s society in that it stays along the lines of its story, which I will not ruin for you.
The sound is also amazing to the point that if you either have a surround sound system or are using headphones you really can’t receive a truly amazing soundtrack that goes well into the story. V’s word that he compiles into a sentence is amazing.
Go out to your store, get the special 2-disc set and enjoy what is a truly great movie.
Do not miss out on this movie, 5/5
