Sunday night and I am at the computer with a glass of red wine and only my thoughts.
Friday I saw V for Vendetta with a few friends. I thought the movie was very good. I had read the comic ages ago and thought they did a very good job putting it on the big screen.
Good points- The very idea of revolution is great. Toppling corrput government has always been great material for the masses. They did an excellent job. Ms. Portman was a little flat when it came to her acting but she pulled off the cute parts. Hugo Weaving was wonderful as V and enjoyed the time he was on screen.
Bad points- The action was a little lacking. The matrix effects were getting a little stale. The movie did leave me wanting a little more. I felt the two and half hours was a little long. Indeed this is a comic book movie but I felt they should have kept it a little bit more along those lines. I felt they tried a little too hard to blur the lines bewteen comic book and reality.
Strange point- Yea. I want a Guy Fox mask, hat and outfit.
All in all, A good movie but if you read the comic, wait for DVD. If you did not read the comic book, see it in the theaters.

PS- I stand corrected. Its Guy Fawkes. :)
