I just saw this last night, and I am not sure if theres already a topic made about it....But I thought it was really good. Started kinda slow, but really grew on me and turned out to be a cool story... Natalie Portman also did a great job.... Anyone else see it?...Enjoy or Dislike? I love you all =) |

1/10 Jesus christ, if I wasn't with people I would have walked out. |

I still have to see it, but Natalie Portman's English accent sounded incredibly false. |
||||||||

I haven't seen it but, just going by the trailer, it looks too clean. The original comic was black and white, gritty, noirish... this looks a bit... don't know. But I look forward to seeing it, though I've heard bad things. |

My brother told me its really good but he told me lucky number slevin is possibly the best film hes ever seen and I havent seen that either but i severly doubt hes right and im such a fan of the book im a bit scared to watch v for vendetta incase i turn into one of those people who whine about how its not as good as the original, which is invariably true but its still annoying when people say it |

I had not read the graphic novel, but I actually remember thumbing thru it a couple years ago at a friends house, he is a huge comic lover... As for Portmans accent, it does seem a little thin, but one of her outfits in the movie makes up for it completely... |
||||||||

I haven't read the comic but I thought the movie was good. Good acting although V himself is cheesy, but its supposed to be a comic so I let that slide. There were too many places where they could have done something really really gay and I thought "i hope they don't do something gay right here" and they didn't. Whew. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do agree with you there, V's voice and the way he talks takes some suspended belief and getting used too.... Otherwise the story and script seemed to get right to the point of crossing the CHEESELINE, than it backed away just enough. |

I don't get it. Every moment was terrible. |
||||||||

V is for moVie i'll probably never see |
||||||||
|

it was almost perfect refined emotionales nice tracer effects in da final fight scene. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, it was good because of the rad tracer effects, yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked it though, I was entertained. Climactic classical music mixed with exploding buildings is a winning combination IMHO |

nataliea portmanes should show boobs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or lez out with keira knightley. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was alright. The fight scenes were pretty well done, and it was a creative concept. It kept my interest. Taken as a whole it was kinda thin though.. and I've never liked Natalie Portman. I liked her even less with a shaved head. |

Jesus fucking christ. The sets were terrible. The pacing was terrible. The plot was awful. The cinematography was ugly and nothing to speak of. The acting was terrible (Natalie Portman?). Tracing effects on knives? Yeah cool, slow motion knife fighting with blood WHOA COOOL AWESOEME SOMEBODY PUT ON LINKIN PARK. This movie is absolute shit. "Moore: CGI makes me spit vitriol and bile and venom. When it comes to films, give me someone like [surrealist filmmaker] Jean Cocteau. When he wants to have somebody reaching into a mirror, he spends all of about five dollars on the special effect: He gets a tray, fills it with mercury and then turns the camera on its side. That is poetry. That is magic. I have a theory, which has not let me down so far, that there is an inverse relationship between imagination and money. Because the more money and technology that is available to [create] a work, the less imagination there will be in it. My favorite films are those that were made on a shoestring. And they weren't adaptations of some other work, they were original pieces of cinema. All right, [Cocteau's] "La Belle Et La Bête" is an adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" — but it was made into something very different. And I mean, John Waters, his early films, they're terrific! Because he was making them with some friends of his from Baltimore, with whatever cheap film stock he could borrow or steal. George Romero, in "Dawn of the Dead," "Day of the Dead," all the rest of them, he ingeniously used the fact that he had almost no budget to his advantage — claustrophobic sets, everyone's trapped in the cellar and the zombies are trying to dig their way in. Very inexpensive, incredibly powerful. That is where cinema really works for me." |

..stumbled upon that while looking up Linkin Park news on MTV.com, eh? |

this made me laugh: "I mean the police inspector in "From Hell," Fred Abberline, was based on real life: He was an unassuming man in middle age who was not a heavy drinker and who, as far as I know, remained faithful to his wife throughout his entire life. Johnny Depp saw fit to play this character as an absinthe-swilling, opium-den-frequenting dandy with a haircut that, in the Metropolitan Police force in 1888, would have gotten him beaten up by the other officers." |

la belle et la bête is pure rock/genius/brachiosaur. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, totally brachiosaur. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Being a fan of the comic, I can't wait to see it. |
||||||||

the last 10 minutes were excellent, but the rest were very pedestrian especially given the excellent source material |

V for Very Disappointing this movie is one big long dragging 'thing' i fell asleep in the theatre i agree with mappatazee |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
damnit, my roomate wants to go see this tonight and I don't have anything better to do (besides play oblivion which is about 3000 times more entertaining) but I know if I say I won't go, he'll give me shit for staying home playing video games. its a lose/lose situation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just let him know it's terrible, don't waste your money/time |
||||||||

i have not seen it yet, but i see what your reviewer is saying. i feel like, if i can see that CGI was used, it's the same as being able to see the wires holding up the floating brain monster so-to-speak. of course sometimes CGI works but yeah. the best special effects are the ones you don't even notice. I'm reminded of the scene in LOTR when the hobbits are checking into the Prancing Pony Inn. some "normal size humans" walk by but these are actually guys in huge animatronic suits. I didn't even realize i was seeing a special effect untill i watched the DVD special features. That said, i still want to see V for vendetta and i fully expect to see some CGI and what not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no interest in seeing this. I don't even go to theatres anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... my roomate has this problem where he actually enjoys shitty movies for the most part, as long as they have something scary or flashy (i.e. explosions, knife-tracer fight scenes). It gets really annoying because after every movie that he loves and I hate, in discussing the movie we usually argue for a bit, which is just silly. its just a stupid situation to put myself into when I know prior to going to the movie that I won't like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've sorta lost interest in this too. probly end up downloading it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to wait till it comes out on Netflix myself, not wanting to be one of those people that brings the screaming baby in to the theatre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All cgi that you can see sucks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"The original comic was black and white". what do you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it wasnt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At least my copy isnt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would love to rub my knob all over natalie portman's shaved head after i spunked in her mouth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you have the slightest idea how much that would hurt? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it got pretty much bashed in a film review I read in a major Dutch newspaper today. the reviewer said it's style over content, with a story that is only there to make it look like there's more there. hmm. the Matrix trilogy, anyone..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When it was originally published as a strip in Warrior it was in black and white, but that magazine folded before the story finished. When they re-published it they added colour to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah. Clever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Style over content?!?!? HAhahaha whoever wrote that review obviously didn't even see the fucking movie. There were only 3 scenes MAX that involved knives being whipped about. Heres an idea: Stop listening to critics and find out for yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
style over content doesn't just mean "knives being whipped about", but I never said I wasn't going to see it because of that review. it does, however, have 2 quite big points against it that probably will not make me go see it: - script by the Wachowski brothers - Alan Moore himself has said the script is crap and he doesn't want anything to do with it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and a third one: - you seem to like it! :D |
||||||||
|

i wonder what the V stands for... |
