    A great movie that replicates what has already happened for REAL.

    I thought that it was a great movie.

    Remember, remember the 5th of November . . .

    Guy Fawkes Day was awesome last year. Lots of bonfires in unexpected places. I'll miss it :(

    It's a pretty good movie. If you liked the movie, you should go out and get a copy of the graphic novel.( If you were unaware, V for Vendetta was a graphic novel before it was a film)

    the movie has a pretty lame ending, they should have stuck with the book there. otherwise the movie is almost dead on.

    I like that movie a lot. I thought the actor in the mask did an amazing job of being expressive with his movements and voice without the help of his facial expressions. :)

    yup great movie.. very political and shows you what can happen when people get scared and let government get to much control.

    I thought it was very good. For some reason I didn't think I was gonna like it but I found it very entertaining.

    Finally watched it last night on DVD. Great movie, but kinda weird.

    It's just kinda weird that he has his own mock dungeon in his house. And then to actually torture, albeit mildly, that woman is bordering on the very weird. I can understand his point, but still that just kinda took me by surprise.

    And then to have that mural of that woman in his house was also weird. He's like, "I have something to show you," and it turns out to be a private collection of photos of some woman he's never met.

    His cause his noble, but his psyche is way out there, IMO. Talk about eccentric. But, I guess the premise of the movie is based on a level eccentricity.

    I guess the point of his using knives is to make people in the UK feel empowered in spite of not being allowed to own hand guns.

    Overall, great movie.

    1984 with knife fights. What's not awesome about that? It also has the best alliteration of all time.
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
