Happy Guy Fawkes Da.... er... I mean happy St. Patricks Day.

Not a bad movie. Not a overwelmingly great movie either. There's about 10 minutes of actual fighting in the entire movie so it's not much of an action movie, I'd say it's more of a political drama.

Afterwards, I decided to use my last dollar in one of those game machines where you have to hit the button at the right time, and you win a DVD. Well, I hit the button at the right time, and I won Episode 3, when I swore I'd never buy the movie ever. Well... technically this wasn't buying it, unless you count the dollar. I just wish I could have won Batman Begins instead.

Also....Extra footage of Natalie Portman that was deleted from the final film (found on the first page while searching google for movie images.)

I had mixed feelings about this movie. I did not like some of the changes from the comic, but then again I found the comic boring.

But, overall the movie left a good impression on me, and I don't really regret seeing it. Great performance from V.

And by 'V' you mean Hugo Weaving...last I recall, 'V' wasn't a known actor.

You know, I wish I would have won something else besides Episode III. I can't even watch the DVD without wanting to vomit. I can't even imagine what people were smoking when they said it was better than the original trilogy.

I thought "V" was for "Victory".

Damn you, anti-Nazi propaganda!

They eat gerbils and knock up white ladies! Don't trust them.

They replayed the baby delivery scene on I love the 80s. Does anyone remember if V was actually any good? Or at least so bad that it's fun to watch?

I remember rushing home from swimming lessons 'cause my Dad wanted to watch V. I don't really remember what it was like though. Just that it was scary. I particularly remembered the turantula eating. -_-

It was ok...Not going to win any oscars, but pretty good for a made for TV Mini-Series.

I loved the movie. Hugo was flawless. :wub: I'm glad they cut some of the extra characters from the comic out - it got really soap-opera after a while. My poor nephew attended the showing in which V stood for Very Screechy Baby. :rolleyes:

I actually saw V and V the movie at blockbuster.

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. 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 vanguarding 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. "

Edit: Translation

Behold, at first glance a humble stage actor, chosen by fate against his will as both the victim and villain. This face you see now is not just a layer of vanity, it is a remnant of the voice of the people, which has now gone and disappeared. However, this brave return of a past annoyance stands reborn, and has promised to conquer the evil and corrupt who promote greed and the violent suppression of free will. The only choice is revenge, held as a candle in the darkness, not in vain, for the value and the truth of this quest shall lead the watchful and the righteous to freedom. But in truth, this thick soup of words is becoming excessive, so let me simply say that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
