Bag's Rants

Watched V for Vendetta. Not as good as I had hoped.

Not one of my usual types of films. It is clearly a film created to fit into the current political climate in the UK and is not too far away from the current situation. Although based in the future most things are based on current technology. The only difference is that there is clearly a Soviet style secret police and we fit into the Soviet style of Government updated with the latest technology.

All in all, a bit disappointing really. The explosions and violence were there but not enough as they actually had a story which took up some of the time. The villain/hero talked much too much and didn't go out killing nearly enough.

Unfortunately it was a bit like a future based documentary. The interesting thing is although it is based beyond 2020 our government will be working towards making it fact in 2010.

A bit of a popcorn film really. Worth a watch but not going to be a classic unless it's banned or something.
