Galkar Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just came back from a pre-screening of this, and it was awesome. I have yet to read the comic, though I have it on my computer and am just about to start reading it. I thought the movie was very well written, and the cinematography was amazing.

Galkar Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I give it 2 out of 2 stars (best rating system ever). Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Pure sex. Some bad pacing. Some less-than-stellar action scenes (although that's just me complaining, because the action scenes were great but a lot worse than the rest of the movie). But besides that I could not fault this movie. Quote Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 i thought it was pretty lame that the billboards for the movie say "from the people who brought you the matrix!", but don't mention alan moore anywhere. lame as for watching the movie... theatre-going is out of my price range Quote Link to comment

Crube Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 why for? i'd look it up myself but it probably sounds better from someone other than goooogle He didn't like how the movies deviate somewhat from his work. Quote Link to comment
Nega-Brent Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Basically Alan Moore disowns any script based on his work that isn't 100% faithful to the source material. I don't think he cares whether or not the movies end up being 6 hours long. Quote Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Alan Moore asked not to be mentioned in the adverts or credits. Edit: DAMMIT GIMPSTA! I love you even though you keep trying to steal my kool-aid. But yes, Arsinol has it right. Basically he saw the screenplays for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen and decided he wanted his name pulled from all movies based on his work. However he also completely disowned DC over some legal issues as well. And being that the movie rights are owned by DC / Warner... Can't say I blame him. I'd hate to have my name anywhere near LoEG.

LoEG sucked, but if the other movies end up being good then he's just going to look like a dick. Quote Link to comment

JesusTheNinja Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Even though my friends were too dumb to know who was behind the mask from the preview, we're all still going to see it.Now this worries me a little. (Spoiler?) You're not supposed to know who V is under his mask; in fact, I'm pretty sure it would have taken a whole lot away from the comic if you found out. So when you say they were "too dumb", do you mean that the commercial hinted towards it being someone and they didn't pick up on it, or did they just not realize who the actor was? I've read reviews of the film/script, and I'm a little worried, but I'll still be seeing it for my birthday. Quote Link to comment

Arcane Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So many V for Vendetta avatars... Quote Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That movie was amazing. An excellent adaptation. I'm a little sad they changed the speech he gives on TV, but the rest of the movie was spot on. Quote Link to comment
Crube Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hm... it is down between the remake of The Hills Have Eyes or V for Vendetta. Quote Link to comment
Venom112 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 why for? Because Alan Moore whines... A lot. The medical term is "bitch-and-moan-alitis" and Alan Moore almost has a terminal case of it. Quote Link to comment
