V Trailer

[IndigoPrime]

Actually, I reckon that's more powerful, given the subject matter.

What's V for Vendetta actually like? Is it any good, say, on a 'Watchmen' level?

[pauljholden]

For my money it's better than Watchmen.

Well, that depends on what you think of Watchmen. If you thought it was a fantastic piece of comic storytelling, then you're likely to enjoy V for Vendetta, and may find it a more powerful story simply because it's a far more human piece than Watchmen.

If you didn't like Watchmen, you may like V, but it depends on what your problem was with Watchmen. I've met people who didn't like Watchmen because it was too structured & formal who enjoyed V because it was a very different kind of tale.

Watchman - Intellect, V - Emotion; Discuss (see also Watchman - Intellect, Dark Night Returns - Intellect; Discuss)

The Dark Knight Returns: Politics.  Retribution.  Anarchy (ie against the state, not against a state).

Watchmen: yeah, intellect.

The Dark Knight Returns: Politics. Retribution. Anarchy (ie against the state, not against a state).

Also a pretty good description of V.

Oops, that should have been Dark Night Returns - Intellect

I'll agree that the trailer looks pretty good.

However, I don't like the hints in it that the government is perhaps the "Christian Right"...

The govt. logo for one, and a couple of lines kicking around there...

I love V For Vendetta and the trailer couldn't be better. For me the pivotal storyline in the book is Eve's interogation and where that goes, which is the first moment in the trailer.

Rereading it recently thought there were some problems with it in that the cracks in the system are often to do with corruption and back-stabbing rather than anything V has done. Then we fing out V has (somehow) had





(SPOILERS)





...access to Fate all along, which seems a bit of a cheat really. It's hard to depict one person alone bringing down a whole system.

lalalalala can't hear you, there is no V movie, lalalalala

From the trailer, this looks as if it could go either way.  V looks nice, but I'm still gutted that Hugo Weaving was cast.  It's just impossible to hear his voice and not think of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert / Matrix / Bloody Elrond, which makes it neither here nor there whether he has a mask on as I know exactly what he looks like.  Bah!  Mumble, grumble, etc.
