Movie Reviews of V for Vendetta [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Truly Underrated
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the comics in the 80s and was a bit confused at the time. Maybe I was expecting more Zorro than a politically under toned hero. But once I reread it in the late 90s...I got it! This movie is spot on, in regards to the book. And the director truly pulled off the look and feel of the book in this film. At times the movie may seem to drag, but what you must remember is, this was written at a time when people had patience to read, and a willingness to think. I'm not attacking the current Hollywood mindless romps, but they don't make thought-provoking movies anymore. This movie was based on a thought-provoking comic book, and loosely based on historical occurrences. So if you are looking for an ADD generation movie, this isn't it.Movie Review: would be a five star, if it had 24-bit audio and a high-def trailer
Summary: 4 Stars
The review on blu-ray.com pretty much says it all, but to be more concise:
1. The lossless audio track is nice, but only 16-bit. Some of the quieter and louder details that were audible in the theater are muddled on the bluray.
2. I understand the extras being produced in 480p, but the trailer not being 1080p is just laziness.
Even with these nits, it's a great purchase if priced correctly. I picked mine up for $12.99, which is quite reasonably given how good it stacks up on other fronts.
Recommended.
Movie Review: Great movie adaptation of amazing comic.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is based on an amazing comic and has been adapted into a great movie. The special effects are amazing and the acting is superb. The dialog is top notch from the comic and works well on the big screen. Hugo Weaving does one of the best voice overs in movie history. Natalie Portman delivers her best acting to this point in her career. The Blu-ray transfer is crystal clear and has beautiful sound. It is a definite upgrade if you already own the DVD and a must buy if you don't.Movie Review: Great movie, garbage propoganda
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful entertaining movie. Simple political analogies weigh the movie down. I believe in tolerance not forced recognition. Problem is the downtrodden thrive to turn the tables rather then line then up evenly. Fire for fire. Violence for violence. Revenge is the function of vendetta. Ultimately this movie fails in its noble cause but works as a source of entertainment.Movie Review: Good movie, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
the chances of anyone having to fight off a regime of oppressive Christians is almost non-existant. It would have been much better if the government was being oppresive based on environmentalism or a police state for "our security". Small gripe, but a gripe none-the-less. Otherwise it's a pretty good action flick and a good reason to check the power of the state.
