I just watched it on DVD. I thought it was an excellent movie. It was a cross between The Matrix, a super-hero comic, and 1984.

Anyone else see it and like/hate it?

Yep, I also seen it on DVD last week and I agree with you completely.

It's awful. The Graphic Novel (NOT COMIC!) is stunning and one of my favourite pieces in the genre. UNfortunately then film is a pale shadow of Alan Moore's original.

Whats the difference between a "Graphic Novel" and a comic book?

I liked it, but I don't know the comic.

Hugo Weaving puts up quite a charismatic performance and the directed is good as well. It's no cinema masterpiece, but a very good blockbuster nonetheless.

People feel nerdier when they say comic book.

Children call them comics.
Adults who don't read them call them comics.
Geeky adults who should really know better, read them and call them graphic novels.

Is there anyone else who thought is was funny when Natalie Portman kissed Hugo Weaving on the mask? I could see it was going to happen, and it was excrutiatingly stupid. Other than that, I liked the movie a lot.

Yes, I thought of that. I don't know if it was deliberate, though.

By the way, is his identity ever revealed in the comics? I don't know why, in my mind I kept imagining V was a lesbian.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking regarding the possibilities with NP...

No, Portman, while in V's false detainment facility, read a story about a lesbian who was arrested and killed by the government. She thought he'd written it, but he hadn't.
