I have waited too long to see this movie. I have heard nothing but good about it since it first came out, and I could not have watched it too soon.
This movie is about a vigilante, appropriately named "V," who is trying to start a revolution in a fictional future England. He befriends a fellow rebel (Portman) and their adventure as Guy Fawkes Day approaches.
While the plot may not make much sense, it is easy enough to follow. There are a few twists and turns, but it all has a point and is worth the ride. The acting is very well done and even the supporting characters contribute to the film as a whole.
My only real complaint is the character development, especially with Portman's character. Although we get her entire background, I felt her motivations lacking. This has nothing to do with Portman's acting, though, but more with the direction and just the material she had to work with.
Overall an excellent film, with some flaws here and there.
