-Hugo Weaving. Very,very good as V. He had the character down very well, with solid acting while under a mask.
-Natalie Portman. Not her acting, mind you, which was nothing special, but just looking at her. Very beautiful. And yes even with a shaved head.
(creepy side note: a man a few seats back giggled, yes giggled, when he saw Evey in the dress and pig-tails when meeting the Bishop. It was creepy because it was one of those weird giggles that might come from a pedophile)
>>I was wondering if anybody has seen any pictures on-line of Evey in the above mentioned costume from V For Vendetta?
-Good set design on the Shadow Gallery.
The Bad:
-Everything else in the movie.
-They did a bad job of portraying the state as being oppressive, facist, etc. The book does it perfectly, the movie not so.
-The whole point of Evey transformation was handled horribly. Evey was meant to replace V. She didn't go through the whole fake torture just so she could flip a damn switch.
-The crowd of Vs, while making some sense within the context of the movie, just seemed silly when I thought of how the book ends. So all these people have just been hiding their anger towards their government, but just didn't know what to do with it until they received Guy Fawkes mask? And even from the beginning the people were far too quick to side with V. Bull.
-Portman's English accent. Far from terrible, still not good.
-"Knife-time." That slo-mo knife stuff was just crap. Wachowski's enough already. It was cool in the Matrix. Yeah bullets move faster than I can see, so thanks for the help, but not knives. I can follow them easliy enough.
