    to the guy down there: i very much doubt your action sequences in your backyard could match something they do with their eyes closed. to the other dude: it was written by the wachowski brothers (matrix) but not directed by them. Get your facts first. To some person: Yeah, trailer was a bit misleading but when it did have action, it delivered. I say this movie was sophisticated. Why? Simply because the story and message and acting of this film was great. Action seemed to be used just to accent some points in the plot. Now for some insults back: it`s a shame those who didn`t like it couldn`t understand the film. Good thing tribut

    the only reason why people did not love this movie is simple...it was beyond 90% of the people who watched it. a mirror image of real problems in today`s government.

    Wow! Did I see what I think I saw?? Did I actually see a movie with actual dialogue and an actual point?? Wow, finally, it was nice seeing a movie that had intelligence to it and wasn`t dumbed down for the masses. I was actually expecting a dumbed-down all-out action movie and what I got instead was an intelligent political satire. I don`t believe it!! I`ve never read the graphic novel, and I`m sure the satire is more scathing in it, but I won`t complain, because this movie is a step in the right direction for mainstream Hollywood after countless forgettable "blockbusters" Bring on more like this!

    Don`t go for Matrix style/amount of action. This is a thinking persons movie, someone that is`nt dependant on special f/x. Pretty strong message here, don`t let it pass you by. It was great to hear the old Benny Hill theme again! Just remember, absolute power corupts absolute. And I don`t wnt to see this mask at hallo`ween.

    Some of the comments so far indicate that a few people just don`t get it.The "Tail realy does Wag the Dog" (look it up).The message is not new.The fact that today`s political issues have similar parallels with this movie is not a coincidence,though it was written in the 80s.The story line draws heavily on the darker side of 20th century history. If the trailer misleads,so be it,but maybe the under 20s might just have to think while being entertained.If you didn`t learn anything from this film,then you weren`t listening.Certainly other films mentioned have delivered similar perspectives. This film also delivers, but in it`s own style, till th

    Save you money.. if you really want to see it, just wait for DVD.. V for Vendetta = George Orwell’s 1984 + the Phantom of the Opera + just a very little bit of action from Matrix

    I wouldn`t call it V for Vendetta, I would call V for Very dumb. The action sequences were like something I could do in my backyard. I forget the chick`s name who starred but she needs acting lessons. Anyways thanks for reading my notes.
