Went to see it yesterday, ****ing awesome film.  Hugo Weaving played a blinder.  I highly recommend it.

[Deepblue]

It was bad. Don't trust this person.

[BlackDove]

From what I saw on the promos, it is pure ****, pretty much what I could expect from the Matrix Stoned Brothers.

More impressions?

[Fineus]

Not quite sure what to expect having just seen the trailers. Everyones opinion on it seems to be split fairly 50/50 in a love/hate pattern. Guess I'll hold off judgement untill I see it for myself.

[Ghost]

****ing great. I loved it, and I loved the graphic novel. I've been waiting for this movie since last summer.

[Janos]

I loved the novel and just saw the movie. I didn't hate it, nor did I love it. It was good, but not great - too many chances for subtlety and finess wasted, sacrificed on the altar of heavy underlining and banal simplifications, in times dwelling in it's self-indulgent massive epic scale which defied the brown tones of the comic.

V is cool superhuman. He does not kiss girls.

[Blue Lion]

It was terrible. Some of the things were just plain stupid.

[Polpolion]

Is it anything like D00M?

[watsisname]

I'm curious about it, but from the trailers it looks kind of silly.  However a friend of mine had the same initial impression from the trailer, but when he saw the movie he thought it was quite good.  I guess it really depends on what kind of movie watcher you are though...

Is it anything like D00M?

From what I have heard, this is not like Doom. 

[Thor]

no, DOOM is a vile piece of....well we know how bad it is.

V however was decent.  while not mindblowing, or overly deep and even delves into moments of minor cheese, it is entertaining, and carries you along and its 2 hour length doesn't feel so bad.  Plus they blow things up.

Best moment: the final overture
Worst moment: cheesy bullettime knife fight.  Joel Silver must be banned from this technology.
Sadest Moment: having to watch the second half of the movie with a bald Portman...GI Jane she is not
Coolest part: actually pulling off having the hero spend the enitre movie in a mask.

so if you want to watch a film with things blowing up, and faschist england causing trouble, then you won't be disapointed.  if your looking for a movie that is as mind blowing as Matrix 1, then go watch Matrix 1.  If your afraid its like MAtrix 2 and 3, its better.  solid performances and some good effects make this movie quite enjoyable. 7.5/10

coulda used more explosions though...Bring on the BOOM!

[Grug]

V's a Frenchmen no? *shrugs*

[Corsair]

I thought it was fabulous. The trailers were entirely misleading and made it look like a total piece of **** but the movie itself was definitely worth going to.

[freespacegundam]

I have returned from the viewing of this film.  I have only one thing to say.

Wow.

Judge for yourselves.

[Janos]

V's a Frenchmen no? *shrugs*

he was always quite english

[Grug]

V's a Frenchmen no? *shrugs*

he was always quite english

My mistake.

[Omniscaper]

Natalie Portman....do you really need any other reason  to watch it?

[Black Wolf]

Looked good from the trailers - I want to go see it. In the interim...

Just got back from seeing it and I loved it. Haven't read the graphic novels but I'll probably look into them now

But what marks V out from its Moore-ish predecessors is that it’s been far less compromised by bottom-line concerns.

So much so that the result is decidedly uncommercial. Despite the trailer’s promise of slo-mo action scenes with swooshing knives pirouetting through the air while bullet casings bounce artfully off concrete, this is no teen-pleasing slam-banger. Rather it’s a very talky, deliberately paced political thriller

That's what Empire magazine said about the film and it was that which convinced me that it was worth watching.
