I absolutely loved V for Vendetta. What did you think?

That's yet to come out here in OZ but I've seen the trailer and it looks REALLY good... Out of 10 what do you rate it?

It's certainly got some flaws, but at its good points it was so strong that I'd rate it at about an 8. That said, this is coming from a very angry, liberal, 18-year-old American who worships Orwell and enjoys comic books and the first Matrix movie, so I actually like V for Vendetta like a 9. Of course, somebody who doesn’t share my interests could easily hate it.

Oh man, I am just about ready to KILL to see the film!'

I've read the trade paperback collecting the comic series...it's seriously f-ing fantastic.

The only person who is reported as not liking the film is Alan Moore, the author. I'm not going to argue with that...but I've heard even the harshest, most demanding of nerds have really liked it.

Slight aside, wish I could say the same for 'From Hell'; the film is an absolute travesty...ugh *spit*.

I thought it was so well done. If the story line hadn't been so good... then the general idea of this hero would have sucked. I give it an 8.5 for it's genre. Overall as a movie a 7

I saw this on the IMAX this weekend, and I really enjoyed it. I was a huge original Matrix fan, and I was thinking of skipping this one since the Wachowski brothers produced it, and I'm still bitter over the suckfest (IMO) that was Matrix Revolutions. Vendetta was the Entertainment Weekly cover story a few weeks ago, and that article piqued my interest in this movie again.

I enjoyed the swordfighting scenes, the political aspects, and was extremely impressed with the plot twists. Loved Hugo Weaving's silky voiceover as V. I wish Stephen Rea's character had been developed a bit more, and I would have enjoyed a more detailed account of the events at Larkhill.
