    i thought it was very good, i especially liked the buildings exploding with the music in the background.... i didnt follow some of the plot though it all got a bit complicated towards the end...

    yeah the plot was verry good indeed. When most movies or series make such a plot they most of the time can't find a logic end anymore.

    I have to admit, I was dreading this being released. I'm a huge Alan Moore fan, and the other film adaptations of his books have been embarrassingly bad. V pleasantly suprised me, however-they got most of the main plot points in, and it was very slickly produced. They played V's anarchist tendencies down a bit, but that's fairly understandable, I think.

    The only thing that really niggled me about it was the number of British idioms in the script. The frequency that the characters managed to work 'bloody', 'bollocks', 'wanker', etc into sentences was unreal, and not at all true to life. It felt to me like labouring the point that it was set in the UK a bit.

    yeah I did remeber they said bollocks alot...like an English won't have another word.

    Just a question but I remember all those quotes and stuff, were they already in the original commics or were they added to the movie? Just curious. (Never read the commics.)

    I liked it, even though it was heavy on the 'religous conservatives are evil'. Splendid acting by Hugo Weaving.
