V For Vendetta

V  for Vivisection 

 It was .. ok. Good in places but I left the cinema thinking it was missing something. It had some good dialogue and the setting was interesting. After thinking about it I think it needed more background. More about what was happening to the country as a result of a totalitarian government. More about the world. It felt… almost claustraphobic in a way. Hugo Weaving was his usual Agent Smith self with a nice Brit accent (not bad for an Aussie). Natalie Portman was a little ropey tho. Her accent kept faltering, detracting from the narrative and her emotional portrayal was a little weak at times. This was mostly shown up by the worst part of the script [SPOILER] where she comes out of “prison” where she’d been for x weeks/months only to be slightly pissed off with V then letting it all go. A bit hard to believe I felt. [/SPOILER]

 However it was worth seeing and I like the style but its possibly one I will miss when it comes to DVD.
