V for Vendetta - Page 2

**OrangeEmpire** · 03-21-2006, 10:41 AM

I saw it on IMAX and I absolutely loved the movie. The only thing I found annoying that people walking out were saying things like:

"Man, did you see all the stuff about Bush?"

"Wow, they really took it to our government."

If people would bother to actually read the graphic comic/novel and understand the movie is, uh oh, about Britain, and the government led by Margaret Thatcher.

Are people able to see a movie and enjoy it?

Quote:

Volunteer, isn't America supposed to be non-existent in this movie? I thought I read somewhere that America fell into civil war because of the war in Iraq. This movie should be pretty interesting.

The government in the movie needs to down play the exploits of V by branding him a terrorist and making the news around the world seem terrible and that their government is protecting them.

American plays a small part in the movie. References to the Boston Tea Party the on going civil war and the major battles occruing in the midwest in the Kansas area. Small jabs at the "ongoing" war in Iraq.

The movie setting is 2015-2020. *Not to mention that Dell suppliess all the computers in the world!

It is worth noting the creators take of the movie:

Alam Moore, however, disliked the film. He says, "I want them to say, 'We're not going to give you any money for your work, you're not going to get any credit for it and we're not going to put your name on it.' To see a line of dialogue or a character that I have poured that much emotional involvement into, to see them casually travestied and watered down and distorted... it's kind of painful. It's much better just to avoid them altogether."

empire, where did you see it on imax?

**OrangeEmpire** · 03-21-2006, 11:18 AM

Marcus Theaters Worthington, Ohio. Marcus affectionately calls it Ultrascreen.

I try to only see movies on IMAX now. If I cannot, then I wait till I can bring them home and watch it on the next best thing to IMAX.

How come? Want to see it on IMAX? :biggrin2:

I am pleading absolute ignorance to the above comment?

He asked where I saw it on IMAX and I responded. If a movie does not come out on IMAX that I want to see, I generally wait for it to come out on DVD so I can watch it at home. *I have a decently large television.*

Am I missing something with the post that I made?

Has any one else seen the movie yet and would care to comment?

i didn't understand the comment myself, I just wanted to know where you could see it on Imax, obviously it is a better way to watch a movie considering it is better clarity. Empire, I thought you lived in knoxville and wanted to know where the Imax theater was here.

No big deal. Regardless, Imax or not, it's a good movie to see.

I finally made it out to see V. It was interesting to a point, but it was a little overboard with the "theocracy". It was also a little shallow in it analysis. It seemed as though the greatest crime that you could commit against the government was to be a homosexual.

I wish that the antigovernment antagonists were explored in greater detail.

I'm still trying to catch my breath. One of the best movies I have seen in 5 years.

Unfortunately, the national media has turned it into a political issue, again.

Can we just have a movie that is entertaining without Hollywood relating it to real world issues, the dang thing is based on a comic book.

Regardless, if you like to be entertained, go see it.

i am really wanting to see this movie. i agree it is just that, a movie. i hope that it lives up to its hype

I've seen pictures, and I don't mind so much. I've never dated a bald-headed woman. And besides, the force is with her...

always.

i want to see this was it any good?

**OrangeEmpire** · 04-08-2006, 11:47 AM

It is a very good movie. As with any thing read the comic/graphic novel.

mattvols · 04-08-2006, 11:49 AM

i've heard you either love it or hate it. Is it alot of action or more talking or what?
