Film Review - V for Vendetta (2006)

V for Vendetta, based off the graphic novel by Alan Moore, stars Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond, a local TV station worker which is also under control of the totalitarian government, which V, voiced by Hugo Weaving is trying to free London from and after rescuing Hammond from a rape gang, he thinks the two of them together just might pull it off.


I enjoyed V for Vendetta and the ideas behind it but I found it seriously flawed, for one the first time we see V he talks for nearly 15 minutes which gets a little tiresome and the biggest problem I had was that like Superman Returns, the villain was weak and in this case, sorely miscast, someone like Terence Stamp would have been much better and it might have given the film the juice it needed.


All in all, 2 and a half is my final rating.
