I highly recommend V for Vendetta for your viewing pleasure and intellectual stimulation. I give it 9 out 10 dancing fish. My sentiments are echoed in a review written by Colin Covert of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune.

I like film as a medium so much that I can usually find something relatively good to say about any non-horror, non-sexploitation film.
If I can ever force myself to see the rest of this film -- we turned it off about 3/4 of the way through its' slow, annoying and derivative plot or lack thereof -- I will look for something good to say. Natalie Portman does look good bald or not. V has alliterative lines. The actors are not the problem. The director goofed. His film became dismal and boring and he didn't fix it.
Perhaps the idea that governments should fear their people, not people fear governments is indicative of our current American problems. Democracy calls for people and governments to share freedom and responsibility.
I do like the "dancing fish" but I would give V maybe 3 day-old fish.

I've stopped watching most movies at theaters because they are the same old boring action sequences, fart or sex jokes, and predictable plots. Well, V for Vendetta is definitely refreshing and different from most Hollywood movies. Yet it is the most unusual Hollywood produced film I've ever seen.
This is a movie about ideas, and being that, it kept me glued to the screen, listening to V's every word and watching Evey's transformation into somebody who is not afraid to stand up to tyranny.
Natalie Portman is wonderful! And Hugo Weaving is a delight as V.

V For Vendetta is probably the best movie I have seen, ranking up there with Vanilla Sky. Hugo Weaving plays the part perfectly and Natalie Portman is equally as adept. It is, without question, a good rendition of government corruption, corporate greed, and media propaganda perpetuating the cycle of power that mirrors our own world of seemingly free and democratic states.
