So anyone in the US has seen the movie? I heard it was a controversial one. Last night I got the graphic novel (the old original one). It was quite amazing storyline.
Alan Moore himself doesn't like the changes that were made in the movie.

Yo brastagi,
Only seen the commercials, I thought since the makers of the matrix made it that it would be quite good. I can't wait to see it though.

Yo prof,
Yea I know the Wachowski brothers making that movie. I've seen it from Mtv "making the movie". I wouldn't be surprised if I will be bit dissapointed with the movie since I already read the comic  . Somehow it's going to look good tho.
I prefer V politic follow the comics. Being an Anarchist beside Liberal (in the movie) fighting Fascism rather than Neo-Conservative (wtf?!?!)

I thought it was a good film.
Well acted but a strong cast of devloped characters, John Hurt's role was outstanding and played to perfection.
Natalie Portman's accent was abit on the dodgy side for a few of her lines, but most would miss that.
The set pieces were excellent and the entire film very well shot with good camerawork.
As for the glorification of terrorism arguement, I'll leave that for the people who haven't seen the film to discuss, as in watching it they would understand the content rather than shoot their mouths off in political bable and retoric.
All in all a god show, well worth going to see.
Althought I'm not in the US, I don't quite understand why your question starts with that question, I don't think the european relase has any major content changes, as for the original writer not liking thechnages that were made, films always change the original storyline, and I'm sure he can cry into all those dollars he got paid for it.

Anything that challenges the government in the United States is automatically considered Anti-American. And thats sad.
Now onto the movie, OMFG!!!! Movie of the year!!! I am still awestruck. But then again I am a sucker for political peices.

I caught the first line in of a review in a paper which implied it was poor. I should probably go see it, as I always seem to like films given bad reviews.

Saw it on Friday night, and I loved it.
Great storyline and acting. But also it was the little things that made it an exceptional film. The way he doesnt remove the mask, even at the end, the little snippets/references to the real world (iraq war/bird flu), the inclusion of benny hill!
Im glad he didnt remove the mask, like every other hero, not only as it made it a better film, but also the second he did I would probably just start thinking "omg agent smith!".
The way the mouth on the mask doesnt move when he speaks is a little weird at first.

This is why this thread was not a good idea.
Another review
I think, like other things, the Wachowskis have taken a great concept and ran it into the ground through pseudo-intellectual garbage thrown into an otherwise great film.

the only message is that a government is it's people and what that government can make the people believe. So don't think based on what the government is telling you, think based on what you yourself feel.

Really. I guess the fundamentalist christian stereotype strawmen rampant in the movie don't factor into it at all. 
The only difference between the demons in this movie and the real world is that you let movie producers tell you what to think instead of an Orwellian black helicopters/blackshirts political party.

The social message was very very subdued, I was disappointed. The character development and the depth of their personalities, at least for V, was great. I've always liked Hugo Weaving and I hope he starts to get more starring roles instead of being typecast as villain and/or elven hardass.

I just saw it today, and I liked it a lot. I didn't realize that there were several versions of it though - what's the difference between them? (I'm not from the US so if they have their own version then I haven't seen it.)
Nothing too controversial in it really imo...
(Is the changes from book -> movie or different types of movies in USA/Non-USA or something else?)

dying to go see this, i love the W Bro's, and its sad that most people think there work will suck.
Makes me laugh when i look at the reviews and the critics comments that slated the Matrix Trilogy to hell and back, then ofc the films broke numerous records at the box office LOL, critics cant be trusted these days.
But from what ive read of the film, it should make for a mouth watering viewing.

The only good Matirx movie was the first one. Everything else was just a rehash of the special effects and the continuation of a storyline. By the end of the third movie EVERYBODY KNOWS what's going to happen.
"OMG, NEO WON!!"
"Yeah, they told you he was going to win back in the first 30 minutes of the first movie. Why are you so surprised? And why is it that the good guy can be surrounded by MILLIONS of bad guys and only have to fight one?"
Hrmm... cheesy movie? Terrible special effects in 2 and 3? Storyline that should've been summed up in the sequal and not drawn out to make more money? Check, check, and check.
I hope V for Vendetta is MUCH better than Matrix 2 and 3! Esspecially 3!

Not really. You have Aliens. Same plots and such troughout the films, but it was/is still a very good series. Star Trek? Star Wars? Lord of the Rings? The Evil Dead series (though those are only good FOR their cheesiness)? Lethal Weapon? The list can go on. Tons of movie series are great, imho, but The Matrix won't be included on that list.
We've sort of stolen the thread though... my bad... =/

Well im a big fan of the graphic novel, even read the original few chapters in warrior magazine...yes im that old.  Ive had a copy of the graphic novel for years and is one of my favourites.
And...ive just come back from seeing the movie. Bearing in mind they had to reformat some things, and deal with some other bits with some brevity, i came away shocked.
Shocked good? or shocked bad?
Shocked good, i was startled at what they have done with the source material, for me one of the movies of the year. I felt they handled it with wit, intelligence and great respect. Though i will say one thing, it's one of those films you will have to make your own mind up over. It isnt an 'easy' movie, definently not a popcorn, mind in neutral movie. Its a movie that can have a profound effect on your own beliefs and make you re-examine them.
Anyway, enough babble from me. Go see it, and i hope you enjoy it.

Quite a lot about it in April's Empire magazine, including a short interview with Alan Moore on his relationship with movie makers. According to that, after the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen debacle he insisted his name is removed from any project where he no longer has a say over what's done with his work and the money he would have been paid given to the artists involved in the project instead. I especially liked his comment about V for Vendetta:
Quote:
Out of the blue, I got a call from one of the Wachowski brothers. I tried to be as polite as possible and told him I didn't want anything to do with the film. Then a friend of mine asked if I was aware that Joel Silver said I was very excited about the film. Obviously I was less than pleased. I wanted a written apology. That didn't seem to me to be punitive.
No apology's been forthcoming obviously. But it's nice to see an artist standing up for himself for a change rather than rolling over in the face of offers of cash.
The Empire reviews were pretty good. I've heard less good ones from elsewhere. But I'm still planning to go see it - I like to make my own decisions on this kind of thing.

I'm also an old, old fan of the original V for Vendetta comics and also read them in Warrior when they were first released. I'm a bit of a purist with these things, I dislike the colouring of the comics when they were recently re-released, I preferred the original stark black & white.
I didn't like the film unfortunately, but I am very fussy - don't take that as a suggestion not to see it, if you wanna go see it please do .
I thought it was plodding, crass and the story hasn't survived the test of time very well - in the context of the late 80's/early 90's when it was written it was a lot more effective IMO.
To all of you who liked the film can I recommend you get hold of the comics/graphic novel? They're superb and David Lloyd's drawings give it an atmosphere and gravitas that I thought the film lacked. Also the pacing of the comics is much better and makes the constant flow of obscure literary references feel far less ponderous than in the film.

OMG
I saw this film last night. Absolutely awesome movie.
I have never seen a film that offers such a dark interpretation of a future Britain. The whole Britain taken over by dictator thing is extremely unsettling and thought provoking.
The most amazing plot of any film I have seen in recent years and the trademark Wachowski action in it as well makes this a definite must see. It works on many different levels.
This is the first film to have left a lump in my throat and an uneasy feeling since Schindler's List.
Nope :) -Capsicum |

I loved the movie! Kick ass made alot of good points and raises questions.
Funny how it shows how easy it is for the goverment to manipulate people. Which has been done over and over threw out history and probably will be repeated in the Future.
I remember reading a quote from a **** party memeber saying how easy it is to manipulate people in any goverment, Dicatatorship or Democracy.

Loved the film as a whole, only problems I have with it are tiny ones.
For example everytime they showed the public looking at the news anouncements they showed the same two houses and a pub. All of the people had blank faces, and for a country that VOTED in a dictator an awful lot of them just said '*******s' to anything they were told.
They hardly struck me as a populous who believed their goverment, and those that didn't as scared. A country that would execute you for eating butter and shoots childred for wearing masks is not exactly going to be flipant about people in public places slagging off their administration.
..and why ban butter and 'decadent' music by not alcohol?
Also, why blow up the Houses of Parliment if you've already killed those incharge? I would have thought it'd be a better idea to blow up the Houses first. Not "oh, well i went to all this time making dynamite out of fertiliser... erm i mean.. 'this country doesn't need a building, it needs an idea'"
Not that he ever told anyone what the idea was. His whole thing was about revenege anyway, saving the country was just a bonus along the way. Anti-hero through and through.
..and wtf was with the vapour trails from the knifes at the end?
I still really liked the movie though... seriously... despite all that.

Quite suprised by the film considering it came out of america...saying that thoughm the english accents by the american actors was apalling, ****ed me off straight away.
Film was nice and chunky all the way up to the last qauter where the film seemed to patter out a bit and the ending was the usual american affair where the guy gets the gal, world becomes a better place and everyone lives happily ever after.

Film was nice and chunky all the way up to the last qauter where the film seemed to patter out a bit and the ending was the usual american affair where the guy gets the gal, world becomes a better place and everyone lives happily ever after.
Obviously you've never seen a little film called Citizen Kane. But hey, don't let me get in the way of your absurd ethnocentrism.

Fear makes people unwilling to be disuaded and word of mouth is the underlying aspect that is written in betwix the lines here. How many people were in the BTN tower how many people saw what happened in there how many people really saw the Baily destroyed,word of mouth is how all great revolutions started,him distributing the masks solidified their beliefs that he was alive and that there was hope. All V had to do to win from the moment he escaped the BTN tower was survive and poke the public at the right time to let him know he was going to live up to his word. All of the true recruitement for the revolution was inadvertantly done by the government,the more they *****ed down the more disbelieving the people got. What the cinematography shows is the truth that V tried to tell,The governments should fear their people,for governments no matter how hard they try will never know what their people think and more importantly will do. In short the end was an inevitable surprise and the fulfilment of a sociological destiny.

I went and saw it yesterday too and really liked it
I am 'politically' minded so I found it really interesting - its more like a political thriller than a usual comic book adaption.
The thought of an England of the future turned into a Daily Mail readers heavan with a Richard Littlejohn type clone giving nightly 'educational' rants is soooooo scary...
I also like the idea of the extension of modern day happenings that bit farther - war in mid east extending, new super viruses killing millions (aka bird flu) and politicians scaring everyone ****less to keep themselves in power.
Whenever I see John Reid (British Minister) making pronouncements - 'Everything is fine in Iraq - there is no war there - soon be sorted - but in the meantime we need to introduce ID cards for evreyone because of the terroroists and illegal immingrants' it will remind me of this movie...
Not as good as Matrix 1
Better than Matrix 2 & 3
Final review: 8/10

Also I do not think the movie was suppoused to be 100% serious, it was quite cartoony at times and had some "symbolic" scenes (the march w/ masks at end for example) Anyone else agree?

Saw it yesterday, don't have much to add to what everyone else has said except I really liked it 
Hugo Weaving was awesome as V...brought so much to the role, was increadibly enigmatic.
Liked the story a lot...and yeah there was a lot of humour in it but I don't think it detracts from it's point. When Stephen Fry's character parodies the leader vs terrorist situation on his tv show it's over the top silly but is making a point to the people watching his show (who laugh)...I think the film does a similar thing in some parts 
I actually liked the way we (brits) were represented in this...sounds about right to me that we'd all be watching telly, not believing a word we were being told, saying it was *******s then sitting on our arses not doing anything about it

Actually, despite all of my pezamism (i know i screwed that spelling)... V turned out to be an awesome movie. The ending was a bit too much, but other than that the movie rocked.
I like that they never remove his mask! And Hugo was simply fantastic!! I esspecially enjoyed his little introduction to EV.
