Well I don't want to give anything away, but basically the movie takes place in the future in England, and the country is controlled by a very strick totalitarian government that controls all aspects of life. Although the movie was based on a book from the 70s, you can make many similarities to the government in the movie, and the Bush Administration's way of running government.

djscoop,
If you want to watch another movie like this, but a little more wierd and not as good special effects, watch Brazil (imdb it). Interesting stuff.

thanks DVDBack, my brother actually told me the same thing just the other day! He said that George Orwell's "1984" is another good one as well...

V for Vendatta was a very intersting movie. Having not read the book, I was quite confused during some parts, however when it comes out on DVD Ill watch it again to see the parts which befuddled me.

That's true. Usually the way I've lately seen it, if critics say a movie is bad, it's usually good...and vise versa.

I agree...don't bitch about something that you got for free.
Besides, watching a crappy "screener" version of the movie severely degrades the appearance and quality of any movie you watch. Any Screener movie watched looks like crap. V is a great movie...

I don't want to 100% guarantee that everyone will love the movie, as everyone has different tastes and all, but I will say that it is a very well made movie, that most people should enjoy. Honestly when I just saw the trailer on TV I wasn't that interested, but after seeing a 30 minute special on MTV about it, I was really interested in seeing it. Its well worth the $12 or whatever to go see....just sneak in some candy so you don't get gouged at the concession stand!! LOL

I always do that!
im a bit extreme tho, as I just don't bring candy, I've snuck whole fastfood meals in my bookbag(yes drinks too) into the movies. Biggie size fries and some cheese burgers is the way to go!

Anyway...
Am I the only one who felt that this movie was a little trite and played out? It had some neat plot devices and kickin' action scenes, but I didn't get pulled into this particular dystopian society. It felt cookie-cutter "Rah! Government BAD! Fight the man, etc.!" and lacked some depth in my opinion; though V himself is a pretty neat character. And I've heard from friends that've read the graphic novel say it's been altered, though very few adaptation movies aren't.
But yeah if you like this type of stuff there's TONS of books and other media out there.

Scroll down for lists of various dystopian medias.
Oh and can't forget this: Natalie Portman, hot. =P
Signature? What signature!? Oh wait...I actually have one
now.

lmao @ darthnip ......
Anyway, I saw a sneak preview of V For Vendetta just before it came out and I absolutely loved it...I was in awe the entire time.....
...also, is Natalie Portman not the sexiest woman alive (even with no hair!) ???
---SPOILER__DO NOT READ PAST HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN V FOR VENDETTA---
...Did anybody else like the fact that they didnt show V's face at all? I thought it was genius...most movies always show the man behind the mask at the end...sure, there's that one scene where he's on fire, but they never show a close-up of his face...anyway, what do you guys think?

Im sorry tma but i disagree with you.
I just saw the movie and it would great. But you must realize that this isn't a movie. This is reality. Yes the movie had a few actions scenes but that wasn't what the directors and writers want to be the focus of that movie. If yiy gace ever watched farenheit 911 then you kno that this is very similar to the bush regime.
I found the movie to be everything a movie should be. V spoke the truth.
And the one line that has stuck with me all night was something to the effect of, the government uses lies to hide the truth, while artists use lies to show the truth. That is very true.
