Default V for Vendetta

I have not seen a movie which absolutely took hold of me and captivated me in such a way for a very, very long time.

It's hard to describe. And I don't think it would help much if I did. Saying too much would diminish the magic involved and the overall quality of the movie. Go see it with as few spoilers as you can possibly manage.

Is it political? Hell yes. Does it criticize Bush? Not directly, but you can see they were going for a parallel. Only one reference was so overt that it made me take notice.

I just found the whole experience refreshing as hell. And not because I'm an anarchist (I'm not), but because I enjoy movies.

And this one's hard not to enjoy. I went with friends of mixed political leanings, and all were equally enamored.

Don't let the politics turn you off to it.

See it.

SEE IT NOW.
