Most of the posters are really good - I like this one, obviously =P

I love the retro style they all have.

I apologize for linking to a website that's probably never been linked here before without knowing it doesn't allow offsite linking!

It actually worked the first time. I am guessing there is just a very limited amount of bandwidth allowed for such. I was able to view it after it was posted, but I can't see it anymore.

Shouldn't that be S for Stragi?

[Show]: Anyway, I also agree that a sequel for this would be a bad idea and totally pointless. It does not need one. The events that needed to happen happened.

I don't think Evey would make a good leader.

Oh and Finch wasn't British enough. He said lev-er and not lee-ver. What the heck!

I'd give it a 8/10.

I still couldn't help thinking of Agent Smith when V talked:

"The only thing you and I have in common, Mr Anderson, is we're both about to die."

DVD is out today. I went ahead and got the special edition. There seemed to be three total - regular, special, and "exclusive" edition (Best Buy only?), which contained of all things, a mask. I couldn't remove the exclusive edition's box from the shelf, it was jammed in there - (there was a lip on the shelf above to stop stuff from falling) so I just said screw it.

Special Edition has your standard extras: making of, graphic novel info, movie trailer, natalie portman rapping clip from SNL, etc. Nothing too spectacular, but if you're a real fan of the movie it's probably worth the extra few bucks.

What are that graphic novel info? The various websites i normally buy DVDs from got different or missing info on this release, for god knows what reason.

Nothing specific, just talking about the graphic novel itself.

I thought it was a rather amazing movie on many levels. Fight Club struck a similar cord with me, but on a personal level, where this movie had a similar impact but was more on a political level. Also, it posed many questions with very few answers, much like Moore's Bowling for Columbine. I had similar feelings after both of these films. It opens the mind to may questions and "what if" scenerios and started some very interiesting dialogue amoung the group of friends I watched it with.

When it first started, and V saves the chick, it felt very "comic-bookie". However, something changed during the film. I can't put my finger on when exactely, but it became larger than the sum of it's parts.

This is one of the few films that stuck with me well after I viewed it and I will enjoy several more viewings in the near future.

Great movie. The colors were fucking amazing. The story was so great. Very good representation of the dangers of power and the power of poeple and hope. I loved it. It moved me like The Postman!!!

Actually, I don't recall getting choked up at all. But, I felt very inspired by seeing all the people in mask and cape come together on the 5th of November.

Great film. 8.5/10

Natalie Portman has redeemed herself from the Star Wars movies even though they weren't her fault, they were still on offense to my senses.

Hugo Weaving did an outstanding job as V. I didn't know it was him until after the movie was over and I checked the credits.

This exchange cracked me up:

Evey Hammond: Who are you?

V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.

Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.

V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

---- followed shortly by----

Evey Hammond: [after V leads Evey up to an empty rooftop, promising her an orchestra] I don't see any instruments.

V: Your powers of observation continue to serve you well.

Yeah, Natalie did a really great job in this one, and so did Hugo Weaving. Must be VERY hard for an actor to loose one of his biggets ways of portraying emotion, the face, and stil he managed to play brilliantly.
