Vendetta Online Review 2014

Alan Moore's reputation as the Mad Hatter of the comic book world has led some to believe that his wrath with the movie adaptation of his graphic novel, V for Vendetta, would result in a subpar film. However, James McTiegue and the Wachowski Brothers have exceeded my expectations, delivering a righteous superhero fantasy that is both balletic in its action sequences and thought-provoking in its themes.

The film takes place in a dystopian future where a totalitarian government has taken over England, led by the tyrannical High Chancellor Adam Sutler. The story follows V, a masked anarchist who seeks revenge against the government for his own tragic past. Alongside him is Evey, a young woman who becomes embroiled in V's quest and finds herself questioning the morality of her actions.

One of the standout aspects of this film is its thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of individual freedom. The movie's themes are particularly relevant in today's political climate, where concerns about government surveillance and control are at an all-time high.

The film's cast delivers strong performances across the board, with Hugo Weaving's portrayal of V being a particular highlight. His voice work brings depth and nuance to the character, making him both intimidating and sympathetic.

In conclusion, V for Vendetta is a thought-provoking and action-packed superhero fantasy that exceeds expectations. With its timely themes and strong performances, it's a must-see for fans of the genre.
