remember, remember

So has anyone seen V for Vendetta? I'm curious, because I just finished watching it and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on it. I think I liked it, but it's definitely one of those movies you have to watch a second time to really understand. There was just a lot to follow, but I think I got the gist of it. Basically, the crazy scary government is using fear and oppression to control everyone and everything. In comes V, a revolutionary hero of sorts, does some damage, makes his stand, along with Natalie Portman. She was actually pretty good in this movie. Anyway, I'm going to have to watch this one again. But it was good. Definitely good. (Sorry if that was a poor description.)

I should mention my disappointment at never seeing the man beneath the mask. I mean come on, we saw Vader! Ah well.

Yup. It was the last movie I saw in a theater. I know, how sad :) and I remember not liking it. Not exactly sure why, but I vaguely remember thinking something about scary government, and where the world was going. I believe its based on comic book if at all interested.
