Those who hate Freedom will find this movie abhorrent. They will be repulsed by the Jeffersonian ideas of the protagonist, V. Those who hate Freedom will retreat into the last refuge of a scoundrel, "patriotism," deriding V for Vendetta as "anti-American"... Full review

V for Vendetta rating: 3.5 out of 4V for Vendetta is a swift and smugly entertaining portrait of revolution. Albeit, this is a Wachowski Brothers revolution, meaning there must be wildly theatric heroes and crisply tailored CGI stunts all set... Full review

I was a fan of the "V for Vendetta" graphic novel, and Alan Moore disinheriting the film was a bit discouraging. But he's always been a little crazy. The film version is everything I could have possibly hoped for -... Full review

Ahmedabad Newsline, India
And rescue people like Evey (Portman) from a fate worse than death after a period of brain-washing, and torture, she comes to embrace Vs point of view.
Like that 17th century patriot Guy Fawkes, and every protestor after him, V (Weaving) wants to blow up famous landmarks.

But V for Vendetta, sadly, does not tell the tale it seems capable of telling.
Unfortunately for Evey, the government gets a shot of her with V, and assumes that she conspired in the bombing.

V for Vendetta" is likely to be the most profound and important film of the year.
Where the masterful "V for Vendetta" breaks with Orwell is in its insistence that even under tyrants, heroism is possible.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The action is sparse, the pace is relatively slow, the effects are negligible, the hero's skills are impressive but hardly superhuman and, contrary to its ad campaign, the movie is closer to a paranoid 1970s political thriller than a "Batman" rip-off.

Decent Films
Unfortunately, with Weaving doing hero duty as Morpheus and hero-Neo combined, V for Vendetta is short on charismatic opposition; John Hurt plays a generically Hitler-like head of state, but he's a stereotype, not a character.
Directed by newcomer James McTeigue from the Wachowskis' adaptation of the Alan Moore graphic novel, V for Vendetta recaptures something of the bold, provocative blend of intriguing themes and ultraviolent action that made The Matrix the most discussed and debated action movie since ... Full Review
