Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have seen it twice, first with an anime-obsessed, good friend of mine and then with my left-wing fiance. Both times I was amazed at how deeply I was moved by the movie. My friend and I discussed the hero and his motivations and compared him with the Phantom from Andrew Lloyd Webber's rendition (brought about by the review I read on MSN.com *Spoiler warning*). My fiance and I discussed government and the role of the people under it, actually having an amicable conversation about politics (usually difficult due my Republican status versus my fiance's strong Democratic views).
So I'd like to discuss it still. A lot. I hope at least a few people will get in on this so we can dissect every element of this movie.

I took my sis to go watch it, we also saw it twice, V's awsome! (and hot) lol. I want his outfit. My sister just wants his hat. Haha. If you've seen the movie you'd know about the... (Apron!)

Ooh, white text!

Yes, that was /hot/!

Gotta love a man who can still be manly wearing that!

After I saw the movie I found and downloaded the comic. It's definately a book to buy once you can find it in stores.

The book and the movie are fundamentally different in a variety of ways. For one thing the movie deals a lot more with current-day issues and dilemmas, such as the quest for political freedom, governments staging catastrophies to boost their own strength, and so on. Since the original comic was made during the era of Margaret Thatcher there were obviously some major differences.

I was pleased that the movie kept the core of the comic's storyline, but the changes they made I did like for the most part. Admittedly it did seem like the Wachowskis were literally drilling the political message into your mind, and there were many a moment that would have made Alan Moore groan (as if hearing about the movie in the first place didn't already), but overall it was one of the better comic book movies made. I enjoy both comic and movie and wholeheartedly recommend both to whoever is interested.

Apparently Wachowskis are going to tackle The Watchmen next. This makes me worried. How the hell are they going to condense one of The Greatest Comics Ever, which was 12 issues of pure ******** amazing, into a 2-and-a-half hour blockbuster? I can already hear Moore screaming with pain and rage, and something deep inside my bones and soul is joining him.

eek "roundhouse kick" like Chuck Norris? Dude, we don't stand a chance! xd

That movie was awesome. I thought the plot was beautifully intracate, and while I could see where it was going, that means it was an excellent movie, following all the proper ins and outs of a "good movie." My husband and I will be owning this movie, kinda like we will be owning Pirates of the Carribean... I can't wait to see the second one of those! pirate

When my boyfriend first told me that we were going to see this movie I felt as if I were being taken to another overly action packed movie with no plot. As the movie played I was shocked to find that it had many interesting view points. V is an awful lot like my boyfriend. Both speak as if they were reading from a book. Both have an understanding of life that is startling. I don't like watching movies twice but I think I'll see this one again.

The comic book was better.

But then again, it usually is.
