I tried to find faults with VFV. No luck. I genuinely tried. Having read the comics, I was expecting, at best, a mediocre movie with some terrific acting at least [seriously the lineup of actors was delicious].
Oh man were my socks blown off. That movie wasn't good, or excellent, it was perfect. One of those rare films where I have to give it a 10/10. I tried to nitpick. Couldn't even do that. There is no "my biggest complaint" or "my only complaint." Every bit of that movie had me on the edge of my seat with my eyes going wide as saucers, and I STILL can't watch the Parliament being blown to smithereens with the 1812 Overture howling full-force without suffering a massive gleegasm. And not because it's a British building; if it had been the White House or Capitol Building being blown up like that in such a universe I would feel the exact same way. The fact that V was given a viking funeral and the final triumph over corruption and tyranny in a dystopian, oppressive world was just BEAUTIFUL.
