i thought it was pretty mediocre all around...meh...not the best acting and plot was weak to say the best, all IMO and of course this is subjective, but i'm glad you enjoyed it more than i did...

one cant help but wonder how a man with no face managed to build such a huge collection of banned art and music, not to mention such a posh pad and a subway train full of explosives.

You'll find that many movies have fantastic or unrealistic plots and elements.

It's called "The Willful Suspension of Disbelief."
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

You might be familiar with the term, but I'm not sure you know how to apply it.

I thought it was an awesome movie. Makes you think about what part you'd play if the world was really like that (already?).

Yes, too bad it was based on a comic book, and to say at the least, comics arent all too realistic i suppose...... oh and with the bombs ay fertilzer man! household stuff and he stole everything from govt to make his pad, with a face that scary(i would think without mask) i think ppl would just give him wot he wanted!

Yeah, i noticed how the whole reference to the election of the chancellor could compare to bush in many ways.... 1. in the movie the ppl relected him out of fear and being afraid of change(he afforered a way out of the st. marys virus with a vaccine they created like they did the virus itself) Bush affored a way(supposefully) out of "terrorism" and the american ppl were afraid of change and ignorant, and did not even consider kerry who although had some flaws was way better than bush in his policies..... Also you notice MANY poltical references besides this one, remeber the whole "color codes for home alert"???? Orange, yellow ,red code? and for wot reasons? NONE! this movie shows how the curferws are set and randomly you see things like "Red code is in order", to show the power and brainwashing of most dictatorships and totalitarian regims......... "kinda" makes ya think eh?

you didnt mention the whole 'attack perpetrated by government to scare citizens into compliance' blatant insinuation that our government allowed 9/11 to happen for the same reasons.
also the voice of london seemed a lot like rush limbaugh to me.

i saw it, tis a good movie, a powerful message ...just a little too long. one other criticism, some liberals and obviously the wachowski bros think bashing christianty and being pro islam is for some reason cool. stuff like that only makes us lefties look dumber. if you are going to bash religous conservatives, who are probably the people in this world who most deserve bashing, you have to bash them all. islamic conservatives are just as looney, nutty and dangerous as christian ones.

I can't believe I wasted $20 on the DVD of this turgid and derivative piece of crap. Ok...it wasn't that bad but it wasn't good either.
So, England in the future is a dystopian dictatorship (1984 anybody....?). And there is this long and stupid sub-plot about how V was used in a medical experiment. Sure, I can admire the "fuck authority" attitude of the move, but that isn't enough to keep me awake.

P.S. The Political Correctness/Leftiness of the movie was pretty bad too. Did anybody notice the blatant effort to tie the virus attack to 9/11 conspiracy theories (the government did it, etc..)? Or the effort to make Islam look good? I don't need a movie to tell me to be "tolerant".
