Answer 1

I read V for Vendetta in comic book form...about seventeen years ago. It came for me...at the lowest point of my life..,.and had a profound and lasting effect on my psyche...life changing in ways no cliche can approach.
The movie did not move me. Call me jaded. But I can see why people who have never read the graphic novel would find it a good movie. It was...a good movie...just fell far from the knockout experience I got experiencing the events of the comic...paced out over twelve months...one issue a month.
What you got from the movie...i got from the comic...and much...
much more. There is no month that passes where i don't think and ruminate over the concepts and images carved in indelible ink on my soul...transferred from the pages of 'V" to me...and how I am better off a human being because of it.
The ending in the book is slightly different from that of the movie and ifyou decide to read the graphic novel someday...you will understand why I wept...at the last thing "V" says to Evie.

And there are more beautiful moments for you to discover in the graphic novel...
the effect that Valerie's (tissue paper) letter had on "V"...even the letter is altered...
what happens at the beginning at the war...
the journey the policeman takes to catch "V"...
more on Evie's journey from beginning to end...especially where she goes after leaving V for the first time...
the nature of Storm Saxon the tv show and what its presence, context and subtext says about events leading up to Norsefire...
the mode of operation "V" uses to destroy the members of the task force assigned to the death/experimental camp and why each death had a specific psychological component, relevance and purpose...
the 'voice ' of fate...Commander Prospero and his dolls...

The graphic novel is filled with drama and subtext better suited to
a six hour miniseries on cable...as you shall see if you decide to partake of that feast.

"V" is not a superhero...he is not flashy...he has no superhero poses...and every poem or bit of prose he speaks has deep meaning and is appropriate to what is going on...and to the shape of things to come.

He did not pine over Evie...was psychotic and absolutely knew it . There is nothing romantically heroic in the man I came to know over those months...
those of who read the comics with bated breath...knew his internal struggle between who he had been made into by the experiments and the deathys ofther other inmates in Larkhill...and the man he knew he would never be...the scars ran too deep...the pain went deeper than shock and trauma...

And we knew that the things he was doing were monstrous though he was doing what was necessary to bring the people back to their senses...
Revenge for Valerie and and the effect her love and death had in making him a revolutionary and freediom fighter...took the foreground for the brutality with which he dispatched his foes...but how he never lost complete sight of his goal to topple Norsefire...and you will see it was thanks to Evie and why.

There is a beautiful reason as to why "V" never has his face revealed...and this you will find out when you understand what happened to certain segments of the population after Norsefire took charge of England.

I was jaded when I came to V for Vendetta the movie...Ihad already experienced a life altering, thought provoking...massive paradigm shift...no movie can capture such a story in less than
two hours of screen time.
Theoptimum way to read V is to buy the individual issues rather than the graphic novel. It was a one of a kind novel experience for this dude...
and I amhoping that it may be so for
you too...

Answer 2

V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies. For a person to do all that bad stuff in order to save his country was really eye-opening. Another reason I liked this movie is because it mentions my birthday:

Remember, Remember
The fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Another thing I really liked from the movie was the ending scene where Parliament is blown up and you can see all those fireworks and hear all that music. V for Vendetta is an awesome movie.

Answer 3

I LOVED IT... Natalie Portman's acting was wonderful, I like the way she could switch from one emotion to another. Hugo Weaving's character was admirable, I loved V the best....and the story was suspenseful too, not too predictable.

The concept of political conspiracy has been used many times but not this effectively...I liked how it was set in England rather than America.....

I liked how it made you think, and the plot was so intricately weaved, and when the pieces of the puzzle like what St. Mary's was, etc. and how the pieces were introduced was good tooo

Umm...the violence wasn't, come one,violent enough for R rating

sure a few curses, and maybe the theme of lesbianism, but it should be PG-13

Speaking of Lesbianism, im not a homophobe, but i didnt think the girls kissing should be so close up......

It sure makes you think, this movie. Congrats to the Wachowski Brothers

Answer 4

I really enjoyed it because it was such a powerful movie and had a lot of meaning. However at first i found it a little confusing with all the long speeches 'V' gave.
I particularly enjoyed the twist, when the woman [Natalie Portmans's character] was captured and tortured in what seemed like a prison, when i fact it was V who was torturing her and holding her captive in his lair, to test her strength and to see whether or not she could keep his were abouts secret.
It was also sad when V died but i suppose, it had to happen,a although i wished he didn't so he and the woman could have been together.

Answer 5

Good movie! Very original plot, and effects, gets a little boring at times but it gets back on track quickly. Two weeks after I watched it I was still saying "Remember, remember the 5th of november, the gun powder treason and plot, I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot" lol. I haven't seen one single movie in which Natalie Portman plays and I dont like, she is awesome!

Answer 6

It was a very good movie. I have the DVD and I need to watch it again because it moved so fast sometimes I could not keep up or didn't understand what was happening...It was very imaginative and chilling considering our own country/world situation....it was pretty graphic/violet too. It was also thought provoking about the power of government.

Who is to say who is a rabble rouser and who is the next leader? (i.e. the American colonies vs. British rule)

Answer 7

I thought "V for Vendetta" was an excellent film. (The graphic novel is better.) My favorite line is "People shouldn't fear their government. Government should fear the people." But there was more than just the obvious political commentary.

The manipulations and outright lies of the news media as a mouthpiece for the government.

The political pressure of the government on law enforcement.

Most people knew they were being lied to.

The idea that love is redemptive, and that calm and absolute acceptance of death leads to pure freedom.

And that sometimes revenge is necessary, even if it's unjustified.

Answer 8

It was interesting. I seen the last 20 minutes of the movie but I liked what a saw.

Answer 9

A really good movie. I got it from a friend, she didnt like it to much, but like I said I enjoyed it. Especially how the guy used a lot of V words.

Answer 10

it was a good movie. It really makes you think of what could happen. It was a little confusing the first time i watched it. When i watched it again i picked up on some more stuff. I wish we could have seen his face.
