V for Vendetta

[Drunk Monk]

I've never read the comic (although I'm next in a queue for a copy that's on loan). The movie was entertaining, which is to say I never got bored. Sure, it had plenty of gaping plot holes and was completely overblown in that classic comicbook way, but it surprised me once or twice in its direction, plus I'm a fan of Natalie Portman and John Hurt (V would make a fine double feature with 1984). I liked its politics but a comicbook movie will probably have as much impact as another bumper sticker. It didn't blow me away, but I felt I got my $9.50 worth, which is more than I can say for most films nowadays.

BTW, speaking of my girl Natalie, I'm sure y'all have seen this:
