Review of V for Vendetta (2006) by Myronb. — 09 May 2006
Somewhat better than run-of-the-mill comic book action, somewhat worse than Sin City and even X-Men, this is a pastiche of explicitly borrowed elements -- as though some writer thought it would be real cool to insert The Crow into Orwell's 1984, with a sprinkle of post-modernity -- no wonder the Wachowskis drooled over it.
Unoriginal and shallow but mildly pretentioous, with great camera work and editing, just like the Matrix. Whomever this "resonates" with, they're sorely simplistic.
