I really was expecting to hate this (being a fan of the comic), but I thought it was ok. They pretty much kept the core storyline there and made it more relevant to a modern audience. I think it had it's faults (
), but given that it's a Hollywood film it could have been much much worse (*cough* Judge Dredd). They had V's look down pat (no revamped leather bodysuit) and I thought Weaving did a good job making V expressive without ever taking off the mask. I'd be interested to see if they had any extra footage for a director's cut, I think some of the characters could have been explored a bit more (
).
