V For Vendetta

Pros: Natalie Portman. Very interesting plot that makes you think.
Cons: Slow in some spots. Certain things could make some viewers uncomfortable.

The first time I saw a preview for V for Vendetta, I wasn’t sure what to think or if I wanted to see the movie. As I saw more previews and heard more about the movie I decided that I did want to see it. V for ...

Pros: Great acting, solid writing, characters a well developed.
Cons: Some of the sets were a little bit drab.

When I first saw the trailers for V For Vendetta in the movie theaters, I thought it was a Superhero movie. I like my movies about Superheros, so I intended on catching this on the big screen. I missed this movie while it was in theaters and ...

Pros: Make you think, neat writing.
Cons: A little slow at times, character building could have been better.

This is (at least in my mind) another post 911 movie. The movie takes place sometime after 2015 in England. The United States is no longer a superpower like it was. The movie infers that the U.S. became weak due to the prolonged wars with the middle ...

Pros: Thought provoking, well directed and scripted, decent acting.
Cons: Drags at some spots.

Maybe you though that all comic book movies were the same. That they’re mainly about a bunch of crazy people doing crazy things in crazy costumes, right? Well, you’re not entirely correct, for while Warner Brothers V for Vendetta certainly ...

Pros: Portman, Weaving ~ Social and Political Commentaries
Cons: The movie didn't trust the intelligence of the viewer

Remember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot... The above is the first stanza* to a simple nursery rhyme relating the story of Guy Fawkes, an Englishman, ...

Pros: Hugo Weaving and everything V
Cons: Plot is pretty intricate; attention and possibly two viewings is needed

I wanted to see this movie when it came out in theaters, really bad. But I never go around to it. So, the day after it was out on DVD, I made a point to stop off and snatch it up, forgetting any reviews I’d previously read. Well my vivacious, ...

Pros: Story, acting, suspense, it's all here
Cons: nary a one from me

Like many others, I was a bit skeptical when this film was in the theaters because the trailers were so spotty about what the movie was actually about. Sad to say, this uninformative nature of movie trailers has become the norm over the past few years, ...

Pros: good action, good plot, good message, good acting, overall good
Cons: drags in some parts...that's it

...yes, what a witty title. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly, although I need to admit certain parts dragged on. When first I saw a preview I had no idea who to think. I saw the image of a man in a white mask with a silly moustache going around killing ...

Pros: Spot on satire of our present times, before some of them happened
Cons: None really, although your political bent will influence your opinion

I'm so glad they gave me free HBO for a few months this winter. I had heard of this movie, but only that Natalie Portmann shaved her head and that the main character wore a mask and it was distracting, so it never made it to my "to watch" list. What a ...

Pros: Thought-provoking political-thriller message in an entertaining package.
Cons: Maybe a little to convenient at times.

This is an amazing movie, and I see it as incredibly applicable for our time, from color-coded danger levels and widespread government phone-tapping to politically endorsed self-righteous condemnation of all who differ from the accepted norm. It’s the ...

Pros: Production values, cast, interesting ideas, cleverly done
Cons: Troubling message, even for the like-minded

The film is set in London in the year 2020, with the United States having collapsed into a civil war (after a failed ‘war on terror’) and general anarchy, but London is depicted as an ask-no-questions Fascist nation (strongly imposed curfews, midnight ...

Pros: Excellent Dialogue, The Human Moments
Cons: Violence without passion, much of the acting, Aspects of over-the-top

I went to see "V For Vendetta" blind. Not literally blind, but without having seen previews, not reading reviews, not knowing anything but the title, the actors and the tagline. I had anticipated - based on what little I knew of the movie - enjoying ...

Pros: Conflict-with-terrorism themed action film that forces you to re-examine current events.
Cons: Many may be turned off by heavy political messages and the overall dark mood.

A couple of preface items prior to my review. (1) This review reveals EVERYTHING about the movie and is so designed to be read AFTER you see the film. (2) You will see far more detailed analysis here than anywhere else within this site or ...

Pros: Cast, Dialog, visuals.
Cons: some may see it as biased.

Well after reviewing on this site for over a month I’ve decided to branch out from video games into movies as well. V for Vendetta is a movie that is based on a series graphic novel written by Alan Moore. I can’t say with any kind certainty whether ...

Pros: the mask
Cons: unfocused story and direction

V For Vendetta, based on the graphic novels by British writer Alan Moore, is the first new film by the Wachowski Brothers since the final Matrix film. And we know how disappointing that series turned out to be. The setting is in the not too distant ...
