Too fast paced. The movie was faster than the sushi roller in that Drake and Josh episode

"V For Vendetta" worked for me on a visceral level... as long as I kept my brain switched to the "off" position.

Remember the expression about having a plot hole so large you could drive a truck through it? This film was practically an interstate highway of plot holes.

Care to uh.. explain what some of these plot holes are, familia?

I (no sarcasm whatsoever) really loved the film. And despite the circlejerking around it afterward, it still remains one of my favorite films. It's the rare perfect mix of action, drama, and ethos.

Which, imo, is the hardest type of film to make. It's easy to produce something with only loose aesthetics and a shoestring story and call it "deep" and "provocative." It's much more challenging to interweave emotions into an actual plot while still being incredibly enjoyable.

For me, movies with concrete plots and ideas will always trump those without. Because it's hard as fuck to tell a story like that with a smidge of philosophy and action altogether but not tilt into either camp or snobbishness. The abstract minimalistic nonsense films (ala, Synecdoche, New York/the fountain/shit like that), are often brilliant on a technical level, but allow a huge buffer zone to mask mistakes/poor writing with "it's part of the symbolism behind the film."It's not that they're bad films, but their core concepts are often far less complex and interesting than they imagine themselves to be.

Long story short, loved it. Wish the Wachowskis/McTeigue hadn't gone insane and started producing absolute trash.

Children of Men is like that too and one of my all time favorites

100% agree. Perfect example of that extremely difficult blend. Love that movie.

Comments like these are why /tv/ will always be one of my favorite places to post. A complete and utter lack of respect for anyone is, in some ways, a beautiful beautiful thing.

It's a great movie on it's own merits but I wish it stayed a little closer to the comic, in terms of V being more of an anarchist than a freedom fighter.

I also wish it found a way to include Finch's big moment of revelation, although dropping LSD at an abandoned concentration camp was a ridiculous moment

it was pretty great in it's time, but ever since anonymous got famous using that mask it's become kind of cringeworthy because you know this movie was instrumental in the popularization of it. every time i see that mask i roll my eyes. i should watch it again though because i haven't seen it in a few years.

Honestly I find not allowing outside influences when watching a film to be very hard to block out. Certain loudmouth/unlikable actors in a film can be like a splinter in my brain while watching something.

The Wachowski """"""""""""""human beings""""""""""""""" got it right.
