V for Vendetta

Meh. Gives me that same feeling that Fight Club and American History X do. In the sense that they are both attempting to be some deep social or political commentary but instead come off as shallow.

How cliche do you have to be to thing of this as some stalwart battle cry for the freedom of man? The book--with the political machinations by various government members for power over a crumbling, delegitimized bureaucracy--was far more interesting. The film is simply "1984" with a happy ending. This crap is so Bush era.

EDIT: In light of the Catholic connection, I have to say I am now more proud than ever to be born on Guy Fawkes Day.

But it had Natalie Portman and big explosions

So did Phantom Menace, your point being?
