I seen it. LIKED IT. It was "different" and entertaining.

I've read the comic and have seen the film. For the first 1/3 of the movie I was unable to fully enjoy the film because I was comparing the two. Once I realized that the film was going a different way then the book I stopped comparing as much as possible. But knowing that Evey in the book was 15/16 years old and Portman is playing that part you have to know there would be some differences. Right from the start though you could tell they would change a lot, if you can get pass that you should be able to enjoy it somewhat.

Never read the book/comic or whatever it is, but I thought as it stands the movie was pretty sweet. "V" is a pretty likeable character.

I thought it was very good. I've never been exposed to anything other than the film but there was a lot of passion about the acting and the story and so I enjoyed myself.

Fuck no, but I do know a little about it.

OMG THEY RUINED IT!

Naw.

Here's the thing:

V for Vendetta was a good movie. It covered the major points of the comic, though not always in the same fashion.

It's been a while since I read V, so stop me if I fuck something up.

The bitching about terrorism is bullshit. The Wachowskis made V more or less the same character he always was...Moore did nothing to hide the notion that V was a terrorist (Among other things). V does not justify terrorism any more than it used to--The major difference is that the Wachowskis are about as sutble as a brick to the head, and seem to think we won't get how deep they are unless they prodclaim it at every corner.

That being said, I liked most of what they added to the movie, and Itreated it as a separate entity. I was worried they'd really fuck it up, but only really cringed a couple of times.

the movie was well cast, largely well shot, and well thought out. I could do without the fucking heavyhanded "subtlety." Also, I would have liked to have seen (Minor spoilers, highlight to read) V actually ask for a Viking funeral as he dies...I thought that was a fucking cool bit that would have made the end make more sense.

Its worth it just once.

Kung fu Jesus vs. Lesbian vampires. How can you go wrong?

By making it. :D

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter was not that bad. It still entertains me whenever I watch it. They did do a few obvious things wrong in the movie, like giving him a haircut/shaving the beard. It is one of those movies you just pop in for entertainment value.

Fuck, it's the official JEsus Christ, Vampire Hunter thread. :p

I really, really would like to find that out for you. :drool:

I dunno, I loved the movie. It had its moments, definitely cringeworthy, but it also had some moments that were pretty fucking sweet. I iMaxed it up, so it basically bowled me over with the huge screen and massive bass during the explosions etc. I'm gonna have to watch it again to better get it I guess. But it was a massive mark-out film, especially the fact that they bring back a 25 year-old Mathilda for a modern-day Leon, I couldn't help but think about how much I loved "The Professional," and how it had a similar feel... Well derr uh erm, I'm too fried to sound anything near intelligent on the matter. I just know I marked out at the end. I love mob scenes in films, I guess. Strange Days used to be my favorite.

I don't normally like David Spade, but I loved the joke he made about guys going to the theaters to see NAtalie Portman shaved...However, the Fry rule of always ending his stories a sentence early was in effect.
