Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 V for Vendetta. I watched this movie about a week ago, and every single role Natalie Portman takes on is done absolutely beautifully. Her performance was brilliant, and she deserves her position as one of the most highly rated actresses of all time. This is probably one of my favorite movies now and the enjoyment and intrique factor was above and beyond for me. I suggest anyone to watch it. It really is something else.

Ｍｒ．Ｒｏｂｏｔ Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Love this movie. Excellent directing, great writing, awesome visual and overall, great acting. What I love more about it is just how V uses poems and literature quotes to fight a totalitarian government. But put all those awesome things aside, it's still a shitty adaptation. The comic was Alan Moore's response to British Thatcherism in the early '80s and was set as a conflict between a fascist state and anarchism, while the film's story has been changed by the Wachowskis to fit a modern political context and in doing so, the story has turned into an American-centric conflict between liberalism and neo-conservatism, and abandons the original anarchist-fascist themes. Still love the movie. It's a great movie but a shitty adaptation. At least it's not as shitty as the adaptation of Hellblazer's John Constantine. Other than Watchmen and V for Vendetta, most of DC's vertigo line should be adapt as a tv series in HBO/FX/Showtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I would like to comment on the fact it is an adaptation of Alan Moore's work by saying this. Alan Moore is a gigantic idiot and a horrible writer in my honest opinion. His expressions of anarchy were annoying and hypocritical and his comic went so dark that it became almost impossible to find any real moral fiber in it and just felt like a piece of junk. The reason I prefer the movie is simply because it does make use of a good or bad ratio and we are identified with a central villain and a central protagonist. That and I am a liberal so I am sorta biased (You can't help it) I maintain that I prefer the movie over Alan Moore's work. I actually maintain that I prefer pretty almost all of the movies over Moore's work because I just don't like most of his work. Except Watchmen.

[/quote] I like V for Vendetta, Watchmen, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen(Until The Black Dossier) and maybe a few of The Swamp Thing(Only the ones featured John Constantine) but after that, Moore's writing are either completely s*** or mediocre since he tried so hard to distant himself over mainstream comics, making his comic as dark as possible. Him and his mindless fan are making a parody of himself nowadays. But I love the movie, don't get me wrong. Just that I wished they stayed true with the source material, that's all.
