It's good to hear that V was charismatic, because he is VERY charismatic in the graphic novel. They actually mention that several times. I am intrigued.

I thought it was all right, but at times it was over-wordy and for some reason it gave me the impression of being anti-climactic.
I didn't get a chance to see it this weekend, but I'm definitely going to before it leaves theatres. Well done comic book movies are <3.
I will see it, I believe Hugo stole the show in the Matrix movies, and Im sure he is gonna be good in this.
As for Alan Moore, he's refusing to have his name on ANY movie adaption of ANY of his works. And based on the movie and his interviews, I doubt the script he read was even the final shooting script.
All in all, I loved the film. I've not finished reading the graphic novel, but from what I can tell, the spirit of novel is definately there, even if it's not a direct adaption. Most news sites are stating to see the movie as an "Inspired By" feature, rather than a "Based On" feature.

I saw it last night and honestly I wasn't looking forward to it at all... I've never read the graphic novel and I pretty much hate the Wachowskis so I really didn't expect to care for it. I have to say that I was genuinely blown away, I really really liked it. Definately the best "comic-book" movie so far, surpassing even Sin City in my mind, and probably the best film I've seen yet this year.
I'd have paid the $12.50 just to see Natalie Portman dressed up in rorikon.

I saw it and it was awesome. Miriel is right that Hugo Weaving definitely stole the show. He is so articulate that it's amazing. The story was very good, the way it was put together was good, everything was good. Best movie I have seen all year. I think I would like to read the graphic novel some day.

Yeah, I'm having great difficulty understanding how a man in a mask could be one of the most charismatic, likable characters I've seen on celluloid, but he is. Hugo Weaving deserves something special for this. It was quite wonderful.
Excellent movie, all things considered. Makes me want to start setting up anarchistic plots, to be frank
My dad and I saw the movie on Sunday. We both have read the comic, and we thought the movie version was real good despite some changes. I had my expectations around "moderate" and they were blown away.
I agree with Necro. I came into the theatres thinking I was going to hate it and found out it was from a comic and decided right then and there it would be stupid. I have to agree that this is probably my favorite movie I have seen this year and I enjoyed every moment of it. I didn't want it to end.
This movie wasn't even on my radar until a minute ago. You people make a convincing case. If only I had cash in my wallet. :/

Classical orchestra + destruction = instant win in my book. I might even go as far to say that the combination of those two things are better than sex. =P
Aside from the action and the actual intrique of V, the overall message was also quite something.
Now, I haven't read the comic, but I doubt I'd enjoy it as much since it lacks the orchestral soundtrack and motion of the movie, so I'm just going to take a zero on that and say this movie satifies me to the point where I won't ever have to read it. Heh...
Never heard of it, probably don't want to see it, no offense. I find Hollywood to be a huge mass-marketed load of stereotyped-ridden sh*t. IMO.
