Having read the graphic novel some time before seeing the movie, it’s obvious that two hours isn’t nearly enough to present the complexities of Alan Moore’s work. But, I would say, despite the standard ‘Hollywoodization’ process, the Wachowski brothers did the source material considerable justice. The film retains its soul and spirit, and is a really a movie driven more by the message than the medium (despite all the jaw-dropping action and special effects). Natalie Portman is good, Hugo Weaving embodies everything that V is, and the authentic British supporting cast lend some credibility. The twists and turns are well executed, it never drags on, and it’s impossible not to get at least a little emotional during the climactic final scenes.

# 10 what?
I think I know ("Best Movies of 2006"?) but...
And one of the two images isn't showing up right in my browser (the 2nd one).
There's actually only one image, nothing to delete in the "edit" section. I had some troubles getting the big poster in, so it probably resulted from that. Annoying anyhow. Any yep, best movies list of course! Didn't feel the need to preface this time.
