Just so happened that it became relevant again due to Bush's policies and the "war against terror".<BR/><BR/>I read the comics around 1990-91, and I don't think the point then was to actively cheer for V, but the reader was certainly expected to sympathize with him. The film wasn't 100% faithful, and it could have been better. But overall, I thought it was a good job.<BR/><BR/>But like I said, to each his own.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-57228847172720356502008-10-23T13:19:00.000-05:002008-10-23T13:19:00.000-05:00One of the biggest problems with V for Very bad mo...One of the biggest problems with V for Very bad movie, was that the script was made so that angsty teen boys, throughout the movie, would be cheering and going "yeah" and "that is so cool".<BR/><BR/>They tried to hard to make a cult film, and in the end, ended up with just a cult of a film.Ookami Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396649763195640076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-30696158703794156442008-10-22T17:01:00.000-05:002008-10-22T17:01:00.000-05:00I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore and V for Vendetta. ...I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore and V for Vendetta. I thought the film was pretty damn good too.<BR/><BR/>Categorizing V as a villian is a little misleading, though. And anti-hero, sure. But a villain? I don't think so. The British government and the tenets of facism were the clear villains here in my book. But to each, his own.<BR/><BR/>I did love Dr. Horrible as well, though.
