Good to hear INANE. I am a "conservative" as well, and I am hoping that I will enjoy the movie (if I ever get time to watch it).

I guess it is perspective - maybe even a bit of fanboyism. Have you read the graphic novel before watching the movie?

Peter. You can stop at "pretty hot". Almost anything following those words are superfluous.

Oh and my opinion on the movie. It was good.

I'm not a conservative and I think even Bush likes Natalie Portman.

Nick, why won't your wife watch it? (not that it's any of my business! ) Maybe she thinks it's a "guy" movie(?). I wasn't interested in it at first either, but I gave it a chance and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Tell her I highly recommend it...as if she really cares!

I was watching a little of the behind the scenes stuff and she saw some of the "blood effects" which she didn't like. She has always been somewhat of a softie on that kind of thing.

I did not care for the movie much at all. Maybe it was the diminutive Nicotine Portman, but I think it was V himself.

I just can't get over his mask. For one the hair on the mask had a very feminine look to it. But what I could not come to terms with was that the maks obscurred the lower part of his face. Because of that you could not see his mouth move when he talked. Also, there were no facial expressions to go with the dialog. V was very well spoken and delivered some impressive lines, but without the face to go with them, they fell flat.

A faceless character works okay in a movie like Halloween where the character, in this case Michale Meyers, doesn't speak at all. But it doesn't work for a character like V. There is a reason Batman's mask doesn't obscure his face. Thumbs down.

I think you missed the point of the mask. He's supposed to be entirely faceless. Is a ginormous symbol that some English major with too much time on his hands could write a paper about.

Faceless only works for a character that can't talk.

Missing the point here is like saying Adam Sandler is stupid and not funny at all but I am missing the point and should watch his movies anyway.

I guess we just disagree.
