So how many have seen it and what did you think?
Even if it had a lot of cliches in it I enjoyed it. Hugo Weaving did a very good job as an actor even with a mask on during the entire film.
For those of you who haven't seen it the movie is set in the 2020's and the story focuses on the hero/villian/terrorist/freedom fighter/whatever called "V" and his mission to overthrow the facist goverment in Britain. He later teams up with Evey (Natalie Portman). Sort of like a Batman with a fetish for Shakespear vs a goverment that resembles the one in Orwell's 1984.
I wonder how many takes it took before Hugo Weaving got his first line correct. Try saying it yourself:
This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
