V for Vendetta
Tomorrow is Brad's birthday, so this morning, Dawnise and I, Brad and Kat, and Todd and Bronywn met for brunch at Doc's and then caught the 1pm show of V for Vendetta.
After League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, my hopes for Alan Moore derived work were pretty low, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.
I've never read the book on which the film was based, and I understand they took some liberties with the story (most notably transforming the "fascism vs. anarchy" theme of the book into "fascism vs. democracy"), so if you're a fan of the comic and hated the movie 'cause it wasn't "like the book" I can only say that it may not be like the book but, like Constantine, it was a reasonably good movie.
It's almost enough to reddeem the Wachowski Brothers from part of the pure suck that were the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films...
Almost...
