Does V for Vendetta worth watching?!


Question: Absolutely not and here’s why:
The movie is based on Alan Moore’s genius graphic novel of the same name, the problem arises in Hollywood, they lost everything that Alan Moore anted to say in the comic.
First, in the movie V is portrayed as a hero, a freedom fighter, the good guy. But V is none of these things; when Alan Moore wrote the graphic novel he made it pretty clear that V was not designed to be a hero (he wanted the reader to decide if he was a hero or villain, sane or insane, etc.). V is an anarchist, the entire graphic novel was about anarchy, that’s why he wrote it; in the film he is portrayed as a freedom fighter and a freedom fighter and an anarchist are not the same thing. And V is not the good guy (well not really) he is a terrorist, he bombs building, kills the innocents along with the guilty, he is totally different from the film version. And also in the movie V is portrayed with more emotion the he would ever show in the comic, V only shows emotion in the comic in some very rare instances of pure rage.
Second, the film lost the entire message of anarchism. They all of V and Evey’s discussions of anarchy; in one scene in the comic V explains to Evey that there is a difference between anarchy (which he describes quite well as “the land of do as you please) and chaos (“the land of take what you want). V also describes the idea anarchy has two faces, “Anarchy wears two faces, both creator and destroyer. Thus destroyers topple empires; make a canvas of clean rubble where creators can then build a better world.” All of this is lost in the comic.
I could literally write pages of the problems with the film but I will stop my rant here and end this by saying that you should read the comic not see the movie, the comic is what opened my eyes to the idea of anarchy, unlike the film which made me feel nothing. Read the comic.

Yes, it's a pretty awesome movie

yes, I love that mo;vie

no, it doesn't worth watching.

its aight

It's a good suspense/action if thats what you want.

Not really MY cup of tea. But its alright if you want that out of a movie.

It was not nearly as good as I expected it to be

Its a pretty awesome movie. Put the closed caption on. It hard to understand in some places the Brittish accents.

Yes! It's a bit long and you have to pay attention or watch it twice before you really understand what's going on but it's well worth the time invested!

yes ,, if you can pay attention,, it's not a movie like dumb and dumber! Great movie,, remember ,, remember the 5th of November

Most people want a movie that is thoughtless,, they don't want to think,, they don't want to pay attention,, they want it spoon feed to them,, goes to show how smart MOST people are,, ! I like movies like V because it's not a movie like that! You have to have a BRAIN to like it.. If you don't like it ,, You must not have any intelligence at all!!

It`s OK as long as you can switch off your brain!! Sheer escapism.

It's worth watching at least once

Its good,but you will have to pay close attention and watch it with the volume on high or when no ones talking around you,because it was hard to hear them talk on the movie.

I liked the movie. Enjoy.
