Okay so the title is pretty self explanatory, but who enjoyed it and who did not and Why?? I will tell you right now the goal of my question...Critics from the United states hated it, because they say, it is promoting values as terrorism...WTF?

I loved it, but I really couldnt take V seriously wearing that damn mask all the time.

Loved it.

Watch out for the Watchman. Another comic by same author. I just got the compilation but have no time to read. Whom I kidding, I can't read.

The book was about anarchism, but of course Hollywood can't actually take a political stand on anything, the cowardly bastards, so they watered it down in the movie and just made it into a vague struggle against an evil government without telling people it's really about getting rid of government altogether!

See: V for Vendetta is about Anarchy (http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=20060314074847304)

yea the watchmen is great. alan moore is a phenomenal writer. my friend told me every year as a tradition alan moore takes shrooms to cleanse his body. one year he took em and saw a huge spider known as the arithmatic or mathematical spider, not too sure which one it is but anyway this spider came to him and spoke to him. it took him outside and he could see everything, he could even see through buildings. alan moore told his friend bout this experience and asked him to draw it up for him. his friend does so and then checks the net, he finds this spider. seems this has happened to other people. crazy, no?

I guessed that V for Vendetta was all about anarchism because of the way the 'V' sign was spraypainted.

great intellectual movie (with some good special effects and fight sequences). the only dissappointing thing about it though is that they never really explained who/what the character of V is. they kind of touch on this a little but not really enough to understand what makes him so damn special (like how he survived, those that saw the movie will understand what I'm saying).

yeah that movie was hot.... I didn't know that it was about anarchy though, I am contemplating whether I should see it again, but great flick, better than ultraviolet :(

I really liked the movie quite a bit ... sadly, I don't think it's very far fetched. Our government (USA) is really getting that way.

that's my point! but most people still see the movie as a promotion for terrorism, forgetting all of a sudden how the government in that movie was acting...what a bunch of zombie dumb asses!
