Reply #6: No theaters here, either, just got the DVD [View All]

And I did love it. The acting was supurb, the visuals wonderful, and there's just something about a woman with a buzzcut that gets my testosterone production going... ;)

However, as great as I found the movie, I came away wishing there had been... more. I can't really place it. The bad guys weren't all that interesting - Just your generic "evil politician" bad. You didn't really get a good understanding of that V is struggling against. It seems every citizen in the movie already dislikes the government - there are no flag-waving partisan backwash-types to act as a foil. And the ending seems rather muted, somehow.

I also think the movie could have done without the "super ultra pirate ninja" aspect of the lead character. I don't mind action, it just seemed out of place.

Excellent movie overall, but it seemed very pale compared to my expectations. Ah well :)
