Goofs

During the scene in which the two detectives are examining Prothero's military deployment history (at around 57 mins), Dominic pulls a binder out from a shelf, then sets it down with the spine of the binder facing to the right when he comes toward the camera to look at the computer screen with Finch. The shot cuts to the computer screen for a moment, then when it cuts back to the two detectives, the same binder can be seen in the background with it's spine now facing towards the left. See more »

I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like?

I have only one thing to say, AMAZING!!
11 March 2006 | by (Denmark) – See all my reviews

I saw this movie yes today here in Denmark, and i didn't know what to expect, because i haven't heard of the V or read the Comics from publisher DC comics. But was i in for a BIG treat, this movie is so superbly acted by all the actors, especially Natalie Portman performed according to me to an Oscar nomination next year. The movie is perfectly put together, so if you haven't read the comics you will be on the edge of you seat the whole movie. Its really that good folks. And lastly, the visual effects is fantastic, and the action scenes is nothing but spectacular. Watch this movie :-).
