USER REVIEWS:
mr_incredible 9Wow. Intense. From the first explosive scene, I was rivited to my seat. Multiple allusions to literature (Dumas' Monte Cristo) and music (Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture) make this movie that much more fun. Depending on the views of the viewer, the message about government can be a bit sappy, but the movie is still a wild ride. Plus, it's just plain cool to see England as a totalitarian society. I'll admit, I was scratching my head a bit -- just a bit -- at the end, but I don't mind, as it was a blast to discuss the finer points with my friends. See it once with a friend, then see it again (you'll probably want to) with a different friend.
joecon86 5The symobology of the movie was dumbed down to make guessing certain meanings no fun.
point1 I could probably figure out that Natalie Portman's manaical rain scream correlated with V's Fire Scream, without flashing the V scream on and off during the sequence.
point2 It doesn't take a genius to figure out the masks coming off at the end of the movie were like a domino effect started by V. He didn't have to set up an actual Domino push as a precursor. That's just dumb.
Sven 7Fun but a bit flat. The villians are just too...dumb.
I haven't seen it noted, but John Hurt also played Winston Smith in 1984. Whoa. Deep.
lmbradshaw 7Interesting Marvel comic book rendition on film, however, there are so many holes in the plot that one can not fully enjoy the beautiful cinematography. Fill in some holes by adding 5-10 minutes of film and you go a 9 or better flick.
swidnikk 7Fun movie.
wynns 7This movie made me glad I'm not living in a fundamentalist society that punishes individuality and free thought. It'd be scary to live in a time with secret prisons and suspended civil liberties for the sake of perceived freedom!
Glad this is just fiction!
Stacy 8Great movie!
