V For Vendetta

Pros: Thought provoking, well directed and scripted, decent acting.

Cons: Drags at some spots.

The Bottom Line: A film with a message for our time.

Review: Maybe you though that all comic book movies were the same. That they’re mainly about a bunch of crazy people doing crazy things in crazy costumes, right? Well, you’re not entirely correct, for while Warner Brothers V for Vendetta certainly ...

Pros: Story, acting, suspense, it's all here

Cons: nary a one from me

The Bottom Line: This is a very fun, although dark, tale of justice

Review: Like many others, I was a bit skeptical when this film was in the theaters because the trailers were so spotty about what the movie was actually about. Sad to say, this uninformative nature of movie trailers has become the norm over the past few years, ...

Pros: good action, good plot, good message, good acting, overall good

Cons: drags in some parts...that's it

The Bottom Line: Most important film of the year so far. I urge everyone who values their civil rights to read 1984 and see this film.

Review: ...yes, what a witty title. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly, although I need to admit certain parts dragged on. When first I saw a preview I had no idea who to think. I saw the image of a man in a white mask with a silly moustache going around killing ...

Pros: Spot on satire of our present times, before some of them happened

Cons: None really, although your political bent will influence your opinion

The Bottom Line: I not only recommend that people see this film, I think it's important they do so.

Review: I'm so glad they gave me free HBO for a few months this winter. I had heard of this movie, but only that Natalie Portmann shaved her head and that the main character wore a mask and it was distracting, so it never made it to my "to watch" list. What a ...

Pros: Thought-provoking political-thriller message in an entertaining package.

Cons: Maybe a little to convenient at times.

The Bottom Line: Amazing paranoid-political dystopia with fairly well crafted characters and great explosions.

Review: This is an amazing movie, and I see it as incredibly applicable for our time, from color-coded danger levels and widespread government phone-tapping to politically endorsed self-righteous condemnation of all who differ from the accepted norm. It’s the ...

Pros: Cast, Dialog, visuals.

Cons: some may see it as biased.

The Bottom Line: V For Vendetta is one of the best movies to come out in the past year, it is beautiful and has a positive message, all should see it.

Review: Well after reviewing on this site for over a month I’ve decided to branch out from video games into movies as well. V for Vendetta is a movie that is based on a series graphic novel written by Alan Moore. I can’t say with any kind certainty whether ...

Pros: An entertaining and thought-provoking film from the guys who made The Matrix

Cons: Not for people who like mindless entertainment

The Bottom Line: One of the best sci-fi films of the 2000s. Very thought provoking and entertaining.

Review: V for Vendetta is a science fiction film made by the people who brought us The Matrix series and is based on the 1982 to 1985 graphic novels (long-form limited-run comics targeted to an adult audience) written by Alan Moore with the art of ...

Pros: So many.

Cons: The whole prison thing might seem extreme, but V isn't proud of it.

The Bottom Line: Viva la revolucion!

Review: If you read my review of The Anarchist Cookbook, you could probably guess I gave this movie a big thumbs up. I, of course, love this movie because of the strongly anti-right wing message therein, but also because it's got a great story and beautiful ...

Pros: Character development, Plot, Thought Provoking

Cons: Language and mature themes

The Bottom Line: Absolutely recommended. Brilliant movie.

Review: Accompanied by my best friend, I first viewed this film in the theater the week of its opening. Expectations for the film at that point were not high. From various trailers we knew that we were in for some decent action (explosions, murders, and ...

Pros: A fairly realistic view of the not so distance totalitarian future.

Cons: some fogy sub-plots

The Bottom Line: Terrorism or emancipation? You decide.

Review: When I first saw the trailer for V For Vendetta I was not impressed. Most modern movies that deal with the subject of cultural revolution are for the most part, cut and dry. This film is set in futuristic London. Right off from the introductory credits ...
