Not the action movie I was expecting it to be, but instead a to-the-point and thrilling political commentary with some very good action sequences, "V for Vendetta" is a quality film that doesn't always hit dead-on, but comes close quite often. The third act is especially strong, at least from a cinematic perspective. Full movie review »

I just saw it earlier today and I loved it. I wish I didn't live 40 miles from the theater so I could see it over and over. The reviewer mentions that more time could have been spent on some characters but since the movie was already at 2 hours and 12 minutes , it would have made it a much longer film and it would have been more difficult to get people who were not fans of the graphic novel to go see it.
