Reviews

SOME SPOILER QUOTES BEWARE!!! What's wrong with you reviewers? Yes, the movie was well made, this and that and this and that. I say it's a solid movie. . . but nothing that I would give a perfect score! Or even a 9 for that matter. . .

I'm the type of viewer that doesn't turn my brain off during the "thinking" types of movies.

You have to eat up everything the director wants to portray in the movie without thinking about it. For me, if they try to portray the movie as having some revolutionary "message" to it that speaks to the heart of its viewers, then it should be a message that is true and not some crazy ass fundamentalist liberal, black and white, worldview.

Here were some things that bothered me, which prevented me from fully accepting the movie, and just having a sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach because from reading the previous reviews knew that there ACTUALLY are people out there who LOVED the movie (and it's message): 1) V says something like, "The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of its people." I'm sorry, optimally the government should not be afraid of the people, nor vice versa. Optimally a government should be made up by the people and for the people. There's no "us and them" kind of mentality. The government should be made up of representatives of the people, who are people within themselves. . . seriously. . .

2) Natalie Portman thanks V near the end? What the hell? Is she some kind of sick, messed up, idiot? Does she have some kind of radical form of "Stockholm Syndrome?" For the love. . . the movie loses credibility when the characters are supposed to be sane. . . but act in insane ways.

3) That whole dancing scene. . . and this whole LOVE crap that goes on between them two. Please, PLEASE, that was unnecessary to the MESSAGE of the movie (which I disagree with), and just plain old dumb. Seriously. . . did it actually propel the movie's plot line? UNNECESSARY WASTE OF TIME. What the hell? And the cut scene from what I remember to the next wasn't very smooth.

Aside from my scathing remarks, this movie was solid. It had solid action, nice choreography, worth watching. . . or renting. . . or better yet, matinée. I think the biggest disappointment was revolving around how much this movie could had rawked, yet failed to completely do so because of its script material that left a bad taste in my mouth in the end.

I'm no idiot, and the main characters were. Sick.

Heck, I don't even know why I'm writing this review, because if you agree, then you'd agree, and if you disagree with me, then you probably didn't have your thinking cap on during the movie, and will probably dog me on my scalding remarks (or not even reply because of the fact that this is so late in the number of comments) But my main reason, is I'm so flabbergasted how taken away people can get for being such morons (the very same robotons in the movie) not to see how FLAWED the whole movie was. Okay, that's it. I'm done. Have a good day.
