Trailers look good- unfortunately I've seen the script and this V ain't nothing like Alan Moores book...
For a start its meant to be set after England lost the 2nd world war - the script I saw suggested that Evie doesn't 'turn' terrorist and that V is part of a network of 'terrorists'
Obviously I can't be sure it was the script they are using
Still gonna see it mind you

Hey, Dean Yager!
You wot?
Lost WW2? Balls. It's the event of the 1982 election being won by Labour and nuclear missiles being removed from Britain - the nuclear war that happens doesn't affect us and it carries on from there. Moores admitted a lack of knowledge about the outcome of a nuclear exchange.
it's gonna blow

Yeah that don't look good, man it takes some talent to make a film look good in a trailer it seems.

Trailers look brilliant but as I learnt as a child, these are usually the best bits

LOL! Yeah I know but sometimes you can gain an idea about a film (especially the dialogue) from them...

The trailer did look fantastic, and I think it quoted from the original Moore text. But all i could see as the film credits flashed by were references to the wachowski brothers INCLUDING 'Written by the Wachowski brothers'
Based on them and the matrix 2 & 3 I dont hold much hope. But the trailer was good.
and then there is this rather scary story... not sure if it makes a difference

I've seen bits of it too and it sounds terrible. I think they have compleatly missed the point. Why are moores comics always fucked when turned into film?
Did anyone ever see the Halo Jones musical? I bet that was ace.

No way has there ever been a Halo Jones musical. No way.
Next you'll be telling me there's a DR and Quinch saturday morning cartoon or a Big Numbers tv series.
Speaking of V. Has anyone seen the really cool poster for it? Really nice design - slanted with big ben and loads of people with V masks in the background. Looks proper wicked.
Once more: Film will be shit thou.

It's not hip any more...
Am I the only one who is deeply, deeply worried by the fact that there is a character credited as "V Follower V110?"october_lost said:
I'd been hoping against hope that all the script reviews mentioning a secret network of "V"s, all dressed up as Guy Fawkes were some kind of sick, cruel joke

hehehe, you should see the thread they've got about this 'pro-terrorist propaganda' on Free republic.
They're taking it as a personal attack on Bush.
A couple of people who've evidently read the comic are saying, 'um but ..'

Saw it last week. I haven't read the comic and understand that it is a very watered down adaptation, but taken on it's own I found it reasonably entertaining and a lot more loopy than your average Hollywood blockbuster. As a film it is certainly much better than previous travesties like From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Didn't like the way it looked though. As it wasn't shot in London you get no sense that it really takes place there. Some of the street scenes looked like they were shot on an old Dr Who set.

I saw it at the weekend, and it was better than I'd expected.
I realise Alan Moore has disowned this filmed version of V For Vendetta (and Hollywood in general). But is that maybe more because he's personally moved on a long way from what he did over twenty years ago (-and so, what he'd envision now would be very different), rather than it being a case of the film not being faithful to the original comic?

Well, I've never even laid eyes on the graphic novels and I'm not a pro "war on terror" neo-con and I still found it a complete load of bollocks.
Sums up just how cluelessly full of the shit the so-called "left" are en masse. Anthony Quinn's review of the film in the Independent was (for once) spot on - if only I'd read it before seeing the fucking film.
