I love Redford movie in general but I was skeptical about this one. I didn't go to the cinema. I bought the DVD instead. It's not a tirade against the so called "war on terror". It's not spectacular and it's not simple. It's a patriotic attempt to tell someone, who want to ear, wake up, take your responsibility instead of just flowing like a drop of water in the river. It's the world, not only US who is slowly fading into obscurity and into stupidity. And this movie is Redford attempt to take his own responsibility, as a filmmaker. And I think it's remarkable. I loved it. And in retrospective, when the end titles were rolling I was just thinking that the movie is well done, well written, well acted, and felt grateful they made it.

I am one of those who didn't really like Matrix, I found it a little amusing, but I thought and still believe it's largely overrated. From the Matrix series I got a really bad personal opinion about Wachowski bros. I have to say that after seeing V for Vendetta I found myself thrilled by the delicious pleasure of having a personal belief show untrue. I was wrong, this guys are good at writing, very very good.

I love V for Vendetta, is one of my favorite movies from recent years, and I give it a 10 out of 10 without doubts. The screenplay is simply extremely good. And the overall movies, mixing contemporary references, superheros fantasies, politics, emotions, ideals, special effects, and everything, is simply a really well made movie.

It's true that it's criticism is always straight forward, and it's also true it often rely on simple icons, and powerful but not such complex and sophisticated dialogs. Nevertheless it's never rough, nor fancy, and never stupid or vulgar. I am pretty sure Orwell would have not liked it, he used to be more sharp and less blatant...

But this movie does have his style and beautiful lyric.

This is a movie you will like whatever you are looking for. And more said, this is a movie which show you can portrait a comic character, you can talk about politics, you can entertain... In an intelligent and useful way...

You just have to know how to do it. And those guys knows it, they proved it.

If you like the book you will not like the movie.

It's an adaptation aimed only to catch young teenagers who likes Pearl Harbour or Armageddonn, who doesn't have the maturity or brain to understand anything more complex that the average Hollywood bullshit.

If film-making is in the hands of people who think they are making art when they are really just making stains. Like someone taking pictures of his girlfriend nude and thinking he is an art photographer.

What it's painful is to see a book which is considered rightly or wrongly, a masterpiece, just used as toilet paper, but from the author of Pirates of the Caribbean, what should someone expect?

I love books, I would like to see more respect for good books.
