V for Vendetta

[Idaho]

No no no, you're just....... wrong.

I found the whole thing so Am-Dram. It didn't have any of the fear and gravity of the comic. It was meant to be a post apocalyptic vision of Britain under NF rule. Instead it was completely lightweight and forgettable, not to mention nonsensical. Why all the Vs in masks at the end

I also thought that Evey was a wasted character in the film.

THe only redemption was the false prison scenes. They were good.

Love it...

Sometimes watch it just to give myself a little lift

It's an okay film, but the comic pisses all over it from a great height.

Massive plot holes, Stephen fucking Fry, nothing at all about anarchism apart from the bit where a chap robs a shop and the Emma Goldman quote which made me cringe.

Alan Moore didn't think much of it, though:

Alan gave some details about bits of the V For Vendetta shooting script he'd seen. "It was imbecilic; it had plot holes you couldn't have got away with in Whizzer And Chips in the nineteen sixties. Plot holes no one had noticed."

What Moore found most laughable however were the details. "They don't know what British people have for breakfast, they couldn't be bothered. 'Eggy in a basket' apparently. Now the US have 'eggs in a basket,' whish is fried bread with a fried egg in a hole in the middle. I guess they thought we must eat that as well, and thought 'eggy in a basket' was a quaint and Olde Worlde version. And they decided that the British postal service is called Fedco. They'll have thought something like, 'well, what's a British version of FedEx... how about FedCo? A friend of mine had to point out to them that the Fed, in FedEx comes from 'Federal Express.' America is a federal republic, Britain is not."
