V for Vendetta
Starring: Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving Directed by: James McTeigue Rated R Genre: Action Synopsis: In the not so distant future, a totalitarian government has its residents living in fear, until a freedom fighter/terrorist 'V' shows up and literally all hell breaks loose. My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this movie, even for a terrorist to win, this movie was very enjoyable. The action was fun to watch, the story was intriguing enough to keep you wanting more. Scorecard: Acting- Natalie Portman plays Evey a very mild mannered young lady, she is out one evening and gets ambushed by two police officers up to no good, she is saved by V played by Hugo Weaving a knife wielding maniac in a mask. They both did great jobs in their respective roles, I think that Stephen Rea as Inspector Finch and John Hurt as the Chancellor were both the highlights of this movie. Rea plays Inspector Finch who is struggling with what is good for the government and its people, while Hurt plays the evil dictorial Chancellor was awe inspiring as he played the guy you just wanted to die. (1) Direction- I really liked the flow to this movie. There was nothing wrong about the direction this movie went either, it went exactly where it should have. Impressive work for a first time director. (1) Story- Tons of people hated the idea of a political movie like this, and I can personally see why they wouldn't like the idea of being all political. I in fact really enjoyed it, the whole freedom fighter wanting to over throw the government was very entertaining. I really just like the whole V character. I liked even more that they never showed his face, keeping to the fact that it wasn't really the person, but more the idea. (1) Expectations- I was hoping this movie turned out excellent. It turned out to be really good, not excellent. (1/2) Boring?- This movie has a running time of 132 minutes, I think that if they cut out maybe ten minutes or fifteen minutes, this movie would have been less boring at times. (1/2) Final Score: 4 out of 5 Final Thoughts: If you have not seen this movie, you really should. The message this movie sends really hits home, while you really don't need to go out and over throw the government, it does tell you that the government should be afraid of its people, and that is so true. Go see it.
