Jay H Sadly, this is more relevant now than ever. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Thats A The most important election slowly comes to an end and this film seems to perfect to not review. “If it happens in the movies it can happen in real life”. This film takes on the battle of a corrupted government and the vengeance of those who suffered from it. Throughout the film, you feel part of the fight for freedom because it’s so relatable to the world’s current state. It is a tale as old as time. Those who are oppressed will fight back and seek vengeance. They did a perfect job of giving the main character a purpose not to be filled with rage but also showing no mercy. The symbolism in this film was abundant every minute of the film. The juxtaposition of these symbols made everything timeless along with the plot. It created a sense of question. “When and where was this film supposed to take place? Past? Present? Future? ”. Answer… It doesn’t matter because as long as there is a government that sadly follows greed. Power to be in control with that comes vengeance from those they seek to rule.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Mark J This film looks amazing and stays relevant after many years. Well written, pacing is good and all the action is amazing. Possibly the only issue is Natalie Portman’s British accent. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Audience Member And epic story, well told and acted! A must - see classic! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Kyla H Spoiler Alert! When your country is being run by a corrupt government, where is the line between right and wrong? “V for Vendetta” is a film surrounded the ideas of freedom and resistance against the government. The film is set in a future where the UK’s government has been taken over, and the main character, V, feels a calling to bring freedom back to his country. I have seen many movies about fighting against the government, but never have I watched one quite like this. The storyline for this film follows V's personal vendetta against the government. V is focused on freeing his country from the government, but he is also focused on bringing the people of his country to realize the importance of resisting a wrong government. This goes along well with his relationship with the girl he saved, Evey. Evey was initially skeptical of what V does, but as we get further into the video, we can see that V has helped her to be courageous enough to fight for what she believes in. We can see this when Evey gets imprisoned, saying she will not cooperate even after being told she would be executed if she didn’t. A major thing for the storyline in this movie is the character developments shown. Evey went through a major development, but another person to look at is Finch. Finch is the investigator who is on a major hunt for V and Evey, but as the movie progresses, we can see that he begins to understand V’s reasoning behind what he does. I do feel like some of the movie was a bit rushed, like V’s backstory. V is incredibly dedicated to fighting his government, but the only reason we get for this is because he was experimented on. He supposedly did not remember his past after this, so I was confused on how he went from being experimented on in a detention center to being the government's #1 enemy. The cinematography for this film is done very well. In the beginning of the movie, when the Old Bailey explodes, they used slow motion and a large contrast between the light of the explosion and the dark sky. They also give the explosion fireworks, which end up forming a V. This part alone gives a sense of justice. They consistently use shadows and lighting to create tense scenes. In the ending fight scene, it is very dark, with whichever character who is talking at the time’s face being the only thing lit up. They also speed the music up as the argument progresses, and the action goes into slow motion when V starts to fight them. There are so many parts of the cinematography that bring each scene together. It gives viewers a sense of excitement and anticipation to see what will happen next. Overall, “V for Vendetta” is worth the watch. It is not just a good movie; it is also an inspiration to fight for what is right. Obviously, no one is saying that it is okay to kill people, but it is saying it is okay to not let yourself or the people around you get treated unfairly. The movie has some parts that could be better, but it is definitely worth watching. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
