Summarizes the movie then cuts into some possible week-points. It appears Many people were uncomfortable with the fact that the masked man was fully masked... Comments on the sever limitation of acting without the use of ones face... Also addresses what is perhaps the biggest taboo of the film "... problems with V for Vendetta is it verges on glorifying terrorism." Ultimately, this reviewer was not all to fond of the film. "It's not about ideas or insights but about cleverly calculated thrills, stunning camera work, a magnificent musical score and haunting atmospheric lighting"

Beginning with a summary Jeff Otto touches on the overall theme and noteworthy character traits. He then continues to relate "V" to Its cousin films "The Matrix Trilogy" saying  "Exactly how much influence Mcteigue received from the Wachowski's is hard to say. They were present on set for the entire shoot and the film certainly shares some similarities with at least the first Matrix. On the other hand, much unlike the Matrixsequels, V is never boring and rarely as heavy-handed and meandering. It is tightly woven with a very pointed aim." Overall seems to think "V" has a 'smart story and effective plot line. Otto remarks that Hugo Weaving, although behind a mask the whole movie, does a great job communicating the characters eccentricities with body language and charisma. In conclusion Otto approves of the film: its cast, character design, set setup and effects.

anutshellreview Begins by introducing a little back ground information about where V for Vendetta came from. It was based on the book written in the 80's about Margaret Thatcher's conservative government in England. The review starts with the famous quote, "Remember, remember the fifth of November". Next, the review makes not of the irony of how many parallels there are between the futuristic world of V with the surveillance state and militaristic dictator, and our society today in America. We are wire tapped, spied on by drones, targeted by the IRS, and lied to every day by our government. The review mentions how well Hugo Weaving did as V, and how they felt Natalie Portman lacked in her role as Evey. Finally, it mentions just some of the content and gives a reminder that this movie is not for teenagers.
