    I agree. There is somthing about this phrase that also can be contributed to why the Matrix was very nicely done, and it's legacy just plummited. Your ideas are well suited behind a mask, a ficade. The mask gives an illusion for idealists to cast thier bullets at, while maintianing a a more than etheral existance. The idea, with out the mask, or the mask without the idea, is just a lot less proiminant figure and either too etheral to draw relivence out or too mundane to connect any significance to.

    Yes, I loved the movie as I loved V. V is by far, my favorite protagonist to date. As he is the triumph of ideals over humanity.

    No, really, it's because they're <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">ty writers.

    and that pertains to my point When they bring in help, they are not to bad. I beleive they ditched thier ideals from the matrix when the franchised it out. It seems that they humanised the ideaology of Neo way to far.

    That mistake could have been done with V, if the ending had gone a slightly different route, and I don't wish to spoil that. I am sure you can connect the dots. They're are not many to connect.

    As much as I love Miss Portmann, this movie was a crock of s**t. Complete waste of my hard earned cash. The main guy just simply annoyed the sweet hell outta me. What could be said in one word he said in 5000. Absolute twat.

    Portman's accent was good & she was OK in the mobie. The one actor who stood out was Stephen Rea. Solid as usual.

    Everything in that movie had been done before & it was done better. There was NOTHING revolutionary in this movie at all, to the contrary most of the lines are worn out & indeed some were so cheesy i could vomit.

    Hype can kill a movie but I think the screenplay killed this movie before the hype could.

    If they put more things from the comic in the movie, the movie would have been a bit better, But I still love V for Vendetta! I made my dad buy it for me when it came out, even though I've had it on my computer since late June. ^^

    I bought the DVD of the movie yesterday and watched it. I thought it had a few questionable parts, and some of the thoughtful parts are a bit overdone, but overall, it was still an enjoyable movie with a lot of storyline. The movie was quite long, but I'm glad they took their time to show all of the story rather than rushing it or the character development.

    Haven't seen it YET. But I'm going to, it has Natalie Portman in it.
