We went to see it tonight and had a split reaction - I thought it was one of the greatest, most profound movies I've seen in years. Extremely powerful and thoughtful. V depicts very clearly both how a totalitarian state comes about and what is required to bring it down - and what the stakes might be for individuals who attempt it. It's kind of like the next logical progression for the Wachowskis after the Matrix series. Once you realize you're in the Matrix, how do you break free? V tells me that the most important thing is to overcome your own fear.

There are so many memorable scenes and lines in this movie, I couldn't go through them all. One of the most striking to me was the question that the police captain asks his lieutenant about whether he'd want to know if the government was behind comitting terrible crimes against its own people. This movie may have a 20 year old graphic novel as its basis, but it's really as fresh as our daily headlines.

I said split reaction as my boyfriend (who is faily apolitical) found it too talky and repetitive. He was bored. Not his cup of tea. But for those who enjoy politics, and believe that there is no more important topic in America today, I would say - go see V and tell everyone you know to go as well.

74% 'favorability rating' for "V for Vendetta" from the popular movie review site 'Rotten Tomatoes'. That's not too shabby.

excellent!!! it's at the top of the box office too. I hope it can maintain that position. Fortunately there are tons of Matrix/Wachowski fans out there, and maybe...people aren't as stupid or passive as we fear they are.

Preliminary box office projections for the weekend are generally posted around 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoons...I have little doubt that it will be #1, as it was the biggest weekend release. What will tell the tale will be the amount of money it brings in...that will be VERY interesting.

The figure I saw was for Friday - at over 8 million - I don't know how to rate that. It will be interesting to see how the weekend turns out.

It's also interesting how several tools of the MSM are trying to kill the movie with absurdedly bad ratings. There's no way V rates a 1 star - even for just production values alone and Portman's performance, it would rate a minimum of 2. That's obviously politics talking. I wonder how it might affect the movie.

Box office is in...$26.1 million for "V for Vendetta's" opening weekend. Considering the time of year, that's pretty good.

It's not too bad for an R rated movie at this time of the year that was even boycotted by some. I think word of mouth will give this movie strong legs.
