V for VendettaV for Vendetta stars the boyishly good looking Natalie Portman who inadvertently gets swept up in the cause of V, a government genetic experiment who is out for revenge. I think that sums it up. The movie is set in the future in London under a totalitarian regime that believes homosexuals are the world's greatest evil. Besides that message being beaten into our heads a few times, because, well, you know with people like Bush and Blair in power its bound to happen, although far more likely if someone like, oh, I dunno, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was to drop a bomb on the U.S., this was an excellent movie.
I highly recommend it to all my various friends: deadheads, metalheads, potheads, seamheads, muscleheads, boneheads, techheads, motorheads, *heads, geeks, freaks, nerds, dweebs, intellectuals, dimwits, narcissists, felons, ne'erdowells, good ones, bad ones, best ones and any other kind of friend I left out. All can enjoy this movie. It's that good. This I promise you. 4.3333333333 stars out of 5.

I totally agree. I loved the movie, and thought that those people who said it was JUST about pushing an view and against the president etc. were just taking it a bit too seriously. Yeah there is a theme to the movie, but I thought it was just plain good, and did not preach too much...
I liked it too. I even bought the graphic novel just to check it out. I haven't really done more than skim it, but it is surprising how much is the same.
All those people who thought it was just a thinly veiled propaganda piece against Bush would be surprised to find out that the original was written in the 80s with the Thatcher regime as the target.
no kidding. i had no idea it was written in the 80s. i was thinking of buying the graphic novel too which would be a first for me.
