V for Vendetta - reviews (#2)

[mrph]

From the delightful WorldNetDaily:

"a vile, pro-terrorist piece of neo-Marxist, left-wing propaganda filled with radical sexual politics and nasty attacks on religion and Christianity"

(Actually, I liked it a lot. Saw it yesterday. Some things they changed for the worse - and I may post about that later - but not bad)

I'll throw in a small scream myself. The version that was written was better - and would have worked better on the screen, too.

They also rewrote some of my favourite speeches in ways I didn't much like. But still, on the whole, I can live with it.

The biggest change - for me - is that V isn't the same person he is in the book. The Alan Moore version might explain, but he certainly wouldn't apologise - he in control of events and has absolute belief in his course of action, no self-doubt.
