C'mon. There's gotta be 2 versions of this film out there. Right? There's the dismal version that I saw. And then there's that other "Wow!" version that so many others have raved about.I mean, this film having 2 distinctly different versions is the only acceptable reason that I can think of to explain why there's such a divided opinion over this picture. Some people (like me) saw the crap version - While others enjoyed the thrill of viewing the dynamite version. What else could it be?Anyways - The minute that "V" boasted to Evey that his all-time fave flick was, in fact, "The Count of Monte Cristo", I knew that "V For Vendetta" was gonna suck, big time. (And, I was right) I guess that "V" loved this film with all of his heart 'cause its title character probably reminded him so much of his own deluded image of himself. Like, why else would someone love such a crap movie as "The Count of Monte Cristo"?I'd say that we (the audience) were all colossally cheated by the director/screenwriters of this disappointing film. For example - The fact that not even once were we ever given even a single glimpse of "V's" face is evidence of that. But, then again, maybe it was all just a cost-saving measure to try to save the producer a few bucks by cutting back on such things as expensive "burn-victim" make-up effects, or something like that.All in all - "V For Vendetta" was 132 minutes of excruciatingly long and dragged out garbage.

Perhaps the only example of a 'Bonfire Night' film I can think of, this graphic-novel adaptation casts Hugo Weaving as the vigorously verbose avant-garde anarchist known only as 'V' and places him within a bleak dystopian Britain ripe for an uprising, making a meal out of the whole 'ideas are more powerful than the men behind them' theory while also providing plenty of verbal and visual splendour in the form of a tight script and some even tighter stylish set-pieces. While 'V For Vendetta (2005)' certainly has its faults, especially in its rather slow second act - not to mention the fact that Natalie Portman's English accent is almost criminal, this is an entertaining and, at times, thought-provoking piece that manages to maintain a decent distance from its somewhat touchy subject matter and to exist purely as a piece of fairly intelligent but equally enjoyable filmmaking. 7/10

...but not a touch on the comics though, and Natalie Portman sounds South African not English. Hugo Weaving is brilliant as ever. Worth a watch but not a challenging one all together.

Welcome to the future. It's always miserable, and usually in these movies e.g. Children of Men there is a bleak ending. This is not quite the case here where the best thing on screen are the old clips from The Count of Monte Cristo with the wonderful Robert Donat .
The right -on credentials of the movie conflate suppressed homosexuality and suppressed islam and the koran:all equivalent, virtual signalling like crazy. The fact that the two ideas are incompatible does not get a look in. So you know you are .watching a pointless cartoon of a movie (I used to love my cartoons as a kid, but i've grown up.)
