“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.”

This weekend, I headed out to take in the much anticipated (in my mind) V for Vendetta, a new movie by the Wachowski Brothers. It’s based off the comic series/graphic novel written by Alan Moore. I wanted to see this movie but I did not know much about it. I can sum up how I felt about the movie very simply. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long time.

It had no slow parts, I was completely immersed in the story and the beauty of the film. As the story unfolded, it only got better. The story was very relevant to the world we live in, although it was obvious the point was lost on the group of teens behind us.

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith of the Matrix) nailed the complexity and depth that V needed. Natalie Portman aside from being BEAUTIFUL as a bald woman was great as the deeply troubled Evey.

Go see this movie. It rocked.
