V For Vendetta

I have 4 words for you...GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

I just got back from the showing, and it was stellar. Natalie Portman's character is great and 'V' (played by the dude who played Agent Smith in the Matrix, although you'd never know it because you don't see his face) was the best tragic hero I've seen in a very long time. There are a lot of political undertones, but they can certainly be extended far beyond (and more applicably) today's world. It follows Natalie Portman's character (Evee) as she is pulled into a plan created by 'V' who is a freedom fighter that is characterized as a terrorist by a fascist government.

The story is great (a lot of historical similarities to the rise of the Nazi party or Caeser), the screenplay is good, the acting is tremendous and a lot of stuff gets blown up! Very, very good movie IMO.

Go see it if you get a chance.

Read the comics, please dont be one of those people who think this is just a movie. It has alot of history check it out. Same goes for The sin city series, most people dont realize its actually a comic book.

Nope, nope. Don't worry PFE! I knew it was a comic/graphic novel. I've never read them though, but I'm definately going to have to pick it up.

There were some great previews before the movie too...X-3, Pirates of the Carribbean 2 and MI:3 all looked really good.
