Brilliant! Exhilirating! Stupendous ... Get me a thesauras!

Fantabulous! Super Amazing! Extra Awesome ... Calm me down!

V for Vendetta, go ahead, and see it's rating. It's been less than 10 days since it's release, and it's garnered more than 17,000 votes, 50% of those ratings are 10/10!

This is crazy! Wachowski Brothers are not licensed to make drama so powerful, heart boiling, intense, amazing. This movie should have been 10 hours longer, I'm willing to see it again, I'm going to see it again.

Based on a DC Comic small 10 issue hack, the movie is set in a totalitarian England around 2015. It's got the same super hero element, something goes wrong, and emerges a hero; but this comic differs, the guy isn't a superhuman flying spider or any animal that satisfies your fantasy, he's a human behind a mask, with a superhuman agenda and god like charisma, basically a facless revolutionary, all of which is brilliantly portrayed in the movie.

Natalie Portam as Evey Hammond is the female lead, who invariably gets influenced by V, the codename for the charismatic masked man. The movie starts off with Natalie Portman being eve-teased by a couple of finger men (government police or something), enter V, karate and fantastic dialogues, rescues Evey and persuades her to witness a music show, and the big bang begins, the movie moves pretty fast, but maintaing flow.

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from Matrix) does an absolutly brilliant job personifying V. Did I say nobody could have done it better? I didn't ... now I did. His voice, his skills, it's just adrenaline pumping.

V is about to push the dictator government, and the movie entails his successes and how Evey in a span of one year, from one November 5th to the next November 5th becomes the most instrumental part of his life.

Enough said, the movie is a as many thumbs up as it can be! Don't miss this one, I mean it, you're going to regret it!

V says this on rescuing Evey Hammond :

Voil�! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-�-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V

Evey: Are you like a crazy person?

P.S. - Desis watch the credits in the theater :-)
