Let it not be overlooked that most movies do not do justice to the book they were inspired by. Having said that I’de like to add that this movie needed to made. The negative remarks by Disco Volante should not deture the rest of the public from watching this great film. Only a narrow minded baffoon would say it was a movie inspired by someone’s own political agenda. Further more in this day and age the timing is perfect for a movie based on the novel by Alan Moore to reach the masses. So what if the movie resembled little of the Novel…the point is..The ideas within the movie have made it to the masses.

UPDATE: I have seen the film and I give it 4/5 stars. Even tho they take massive liberties with the plot, the basic feeling of book is captured (but England is too clean looking, not gritty enough, too little mention of the social upheaval that gave rise to Norsefire, I always thought Larkhill was one of many, no mention of genocides, Gordon’s role was redundant with Valerie’s )….. BUT
Give props to the Bollocks girl, Storm Saxon reference, Stevie Fry’s performance, V’s takedowns of the Larkhill Gang, using the “St Mary’s Virus” instead of a nuclear war, glimpses of America falling apart on the telly, roving suveillence trucks, Evey’s epiphany, Hugo Weaving saving this film, among other gems.

i think it was moved to these times so that not only the readers of the GN would see the movie. i think it was entertaining and actually said something. in the end i was almost in tears seeing that there was hope. and micheal moore would not like this movie, he is a douche and wants peace. like they said in the punisher (which i also liked) “if you want peace, prepare for war”.

V for Vandetta should be renamed D for Disappointing. The movie captured none of the intensity of the novel. It was sterile and cold. I couldn’t feel anything for the main characters. Also, in typical Hollywood fasion, V falls in love with Evey. Yuck! Why can’t these idiots ever get a story right. Highly disappointing…Read the novel — it will blow your mind.

It can’t be that bad, can it? I’ve been waiting for this movie for 16 years.
