V for Vendetta earns its title: the word "vindicated" captures everything this film attempts. It's an American movie disguised as English, a live-action comic book unashamed of its stylisation, and ultimately a moral argument about freedom, justice, and whether a terrorist's revenge can ever truly be justified.

Good popcorn movie with excellent gothic effects and surprisingly decent acting and dialogue. The plot is predictable and fumbles its climax, but the dark mythology is nicely fleshed out and there are some genuinely giggle-worthy moments. Go in with low expectations.
