V for Vendetta (2006)
I finally bought the V for Vendetta DVD. Its the Deluxe edition. It contains 2 discs and the graphic novel…yes the graphic novel…thats the reason I finally bought it. But I felt cheated afterwards…it isn’t the full story….cheat. 
The movie itself is really good and I really liked it. Natalie Portman’s English accent does seem awkward at first…but it kinda grows on you. I must say…that when reading the graphic novel I had p
ictured, V to have a more booming theatrical voice…but this was not so…but other than that, everything was good. Loved how they designed the future without making it too overly futuristic. The special effects and action was simple but great. The goverment with its primarily red and black colours, tough law enforcement, prying eyes, with its surveillance and and bugs in people homes, intruding their private lives all in the name of national security…is no less terrifying as the chosen oppressor…while, Hugo Weaving was utterly wicked as villain/vigalante in that equally wicked smiling Guy Fawkes mask. V is somewhat of an intellectual, quoting people and even managed to say a string of sentences full of words beginning with V, but when he starts his theatrically acrobatic dagger wielding, he looks like the typical comic superhero…except that he’s not…and he does it soo much cooler. And…Evey…our Narrator…Evey is an important accidental accomplice of V. Without her…V’s plans would not have occur as it would, and without Evey would’t V look less human. Will V’s ‘terrorist’ schemes succeed? Watch to find out.
Special features for the dvd…I can’t really complain much…There’s the making of, designing the future…which was how the made the set, a feature on Guy Fawkes, a music video, the trailer and some other extra features.
