V for Vendetta

I went out and saw V for Vendetta the other day. It is a decent movie - not great, perhaps; I wouldn't recommend if you were going to see one movie in your life you would make it V for Vendetta. But I would certainly recommend it if you were only going to see one movie based on a comic book this year, you should go see V for Vendetta.

Well, I think the pretty violent knife fight at the end was what gave it the rating. And V getting pelted with bullets. Then the, albeit briefly seen, gay porn on that one guy's wall. Plus the themes in general are more adult; it can be pared down to a movie about how it's sometimes good to be a terrorist and blow things up.

I liked the movie, but I got really annoyed when the Wachowski Brothers felt they had to sit you down and have a character launch into a big long spiel. Like when V poses as Rockwood or whatever and it's basically just him sitting there explaining a conspiracy that is already apparent.

I'm just glad that, in that "ideas are bulletproof" scene, he was wearing that metal plate thing. You can try to sound as badass as you want, but when like eight guys unload a couple rounds into you, you don't stay standing.

Personally, I would have liked him to be a bit more villainous (and not so cheesy in some ways), as he still came off as a guy with good intentions. V needed to be a much more hateful person.
