REVIEW: Hollywood Reporter Digs V FOR VENDETTA!

By Wind(up)bird March 14, 2006 6:33 AM

John DeFore of the Hollywood Reporter writes, "In a political environment that can brew controversy out of allegorical children's fables or a documentary about penguins, it is hard to imagine the intensity of feeling that will greet "V for Vendetta," a movie whose heroes are terrorists. One foresees news talk shows in which red-faced pundits denounce the filmmakers and call for boycotts. Given a film as entertaining and solidly crafted as this one, such attention could turn into strong boxoffice." ?Click for the rest of his solid review of V (which opens Thursday @ midnight).

im not sure about this moive i mean i liked those matrix films and they were made by the wakowski brothers but this looks a bit boring if you ask me. its also set in boring old england i think it wouldve been better if it was set in newyork or LA.

Saw the movie on Friday, it was great!

It will certainly cast a bit of hype due to its storyline, but I think it is worth a $10 ticket

I've got $10 in my pocket, should I spend it on this movie or a $10 whore?

Take the whore to the movie and kill two birds with one stone.

Woah! Who said anything about killing her?? What are you implying? I've never killed a prostitute and buried her body in the park... Shut up!
