V for Vendetta

"Brilliant! Recommended. I was introduced to this by my husband and I was hooked. "

"This is a very powerful film. I can see why John Hurt wanted to be a part of this project, since it is so reminiscent of his film 1984. A society in which people are forced to believe as the government decides. The only thing that wasn't convincing was Natalie Portman's English accent. "

"Based off a comic of the same name, though with many parts of the plot but the main part about a fascist government has taken control of the country. Worth watching as one masked hero in a cape saves a civilian and brings her under his wing, taking on the government and have his plans free the people but at what price?!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/4 rewatch. I didn’t appreciate this quite as much as I should have at theatrical release. It was relevant then but feels so much more so now as to almost be realistic. Or headed that way. "

"I watched this when it was released and I don't think I ever bothered to see it again. I thought it was a cool looking movie but was bored with the story. I may have to watch it again to give it an updated critique as most people hold it in high regard... but until then I give it a 4/10."

"I agree with Alan Moore though. This movie was made as a reaction to 9/11, patriot act, and the war on terror. The original comic book was steeped in British politics to the point where I didn’t understand it. They should have made their own story to fit with the (then) current times. Well at least it looks cool 🤷🏿‍♂️. "

"I liked this take on a dystopian UK. It was a terrifying thought that one’s government could be that power-hungry to do those things to its own people but unfortunately, it’s also a very plausible one. The whole mystery of V and the government plot that created him was fascinating to watch unfold. Natalie Portman was great, but it was quite disorientating to hear her speak with a British accent. I also loved the cinematography. Side note: I feel weird admitting this, but V is definitely a hear-me-out for me. His mysterious nature and how suave he was was extremely attractive. There was just something about him and his mask. "

"Absolutely adored this film. Literally has become my top 5 for sure. "

"Political and democratic movie. It has some similarities to The Handmaid Tales because of the closing of a country and religious culture. Great movie against fascist government, very powerful film that everyone have the chance to watch! #action #wlwrep #lgbtrep #dcmarvel"

"I think I saw part of this back in the day but it was before comic book movies were a thing and I didn’t pay attention. My bad because this is awesome. The message may hit too close to home for some, as it did for me. But despite that, it was engaging and perfect for when you can’t find anything else to watch. "
