"Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh
Beneath this mask there is an idea Mr. Creedy,
And IDEAS ARE BULLETPROOF.."
When you have these lines in a movie, there is not even a single shred of doubt regarding how awesome this movie is....
Anirban Dasgupta taken directly from the book, one of the few good things that was kept in this movie
Fact
@@benhinton4613 lol Oh great, another one of those 'the book was better than the movie' guys.
Nobody gives a shit, dude...we liked the movie, and follow the golden rule 'if you don't have anything nice to say, STFU'.
I've always been a fan of the line "Artists use lies to telll the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up."
Ideas aren't bulletproof if you kill everyone with the idea.
Absolutely fantastic movie.
Mr Sunday Movies bloody hell- didn't expect to see you here mate
Mr Sunday Movies get nerdsync to put the podcast up RIGHT NOW
An underrated masterpiece.
what the fuck?MovieNerd_EP
Mr Sunday Movies mate don't you have work to do like uploading Utube. Stop watching youtube and can you please upload awesome videos for us to watch & enjoy like all ways.
Here, now, in 2020, this film’s relevance has become all the more important. Love this film and how much it says about the present times.
Omfg and this movie takes place in 2020
@@TOM-ro7rt OMG yes!!! That actually didn't occur to me. Thank you so much. :)
Man when you made this comment you didn’t realize that half the major cities in the us would be burning down. Now it’s super relevant.
2020 keeps getting worse
@@jakegraham3758 what's happening here isn't really the same thing though. If the film is to be believed, the people engaged in and overcame their oppressive government through peaceful means. It was only V who ever did anything proactively viooent, and contrary to the belief of some (although I'm more inclined towards sympathy given the authoritarian lockdowns in certain states in reaction to the virus), but the US is not anywhere close to the oppressive, fiascistic regime in the movie. The revolution here also isn't a communist revolution. The people actually engaging in violence, some of whom wanting to LARP as revolutionaries, are communist agitators, helter skelter race rioters (people trying to start race war) and opportunistic looters working out their lockdown-induced jitters and frustrations, none of which actually give two cents about Floyd's murder, especially when a bunch of innocent people have been killed by those people (a lot of whom are black people, take David Horne, for example, the 70 year old retired veteran police officer shot down for standing guard over his buddy's store because some a-hole wanted a flat screen, as well as a chick whose sister tragically cried her eyes out on FB live about how she saw the protesters murder her sister). Hinestly, the only similaroties are that people are understandably pissed and that buildings are blowing up... The movie portrayed a legitimate revolution, whatever is happening here and now is definitely not, certainly not anymore anyway.
Has anyone noticed how all of the best graphic novels were written by Alan Moore? That guy is a genius
NimTV watchmen and v for vendetta are masterpieces
NimTV yes everyone has noticed it, he’s known to be the one of the best
He’s a bit insane now. He believes he’s a wizard.
I think you mean fucked up
BIGMOE375 So do Dungeons and Dragons players and we don’t call them crazy.
4:55 "There isn't a big unmasking scene where she kisses his burned face and she accepts how he looks or some stupid scene like that" *cough* Deadpool *cough*
IncorporatedOps deadpool ment to be cheasy he even mentions the clichaes in the movie sorry for my bad english im arabic
IncorporatedOps don’t hate on Deadpool. That movie rocked!
that's why deadpool 2 was better
Dead pool 2 was awful
@@imbored5334 so that single part of her accepting the way it looks make Deadpool 1 a worse movie? Makes sense 😒👌
this movie is a classic.
My favorite aspect is how V's character is reborn through fire and Natalie Portman's character is reborn through rain.
One of the best comic book films ever!
Indeed. One of my fave films as well, not just as a CBM.
yes!
Ive loved this movie since it came out but I just now, this year, noticed and understood the last shot of this film. As they watched Parliament blow up and show the little girl with glasses, it made me think she lived. However I realized that it showed all the characters that had died, symbolizing that everyone is V and they sacrificed their lives for the cause. It bummed me to know the girl died though.
Well I do believe the London bombings the year prior was a bit more relative than 9/11.
51TGM71 indeed.
51TGM71 Not to mention the plans of the then Labour government to introduce ID cards and their attempts to shut down debate. I'm no Labour supporter, quite the contrary, but even I was surprised when an elderly Labour supporter (& holocaust survivor, as it so happens) was unceremoniously and violently removed from a Labour Party conference by security people for having dared to heckle Jack Straw (a Labour government minister). Or the criminalisation of a woman who went to the Cenotaph in London and tried to read out the names of soldiers killed in Iraq. It appears she was opposed to the war in Iraq, whereas I supported it, but it shocked me that peaceful protest was regarded as unacceptable to the Labour government. This is the real context of this movie - it has got little or nothing to do with 911, in my view, horrible as the events of that day were.
Prior? The London bombings happened in 2007, One year after the release of this film. It's still relevant yes... but at a time when 9/11 had already happened it was still more impactful.
+JimmyNGman I was six at the time of the bombings, they happened in 2005.
Haha mate you are soo wrong. Like, it only takes a quick Google search to find out!
Here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings
What I thought was so great about this movie was how Hugo Weaving gave V so many expressions just by using his voice. A truly talented actor for a sophisticated and challenging character.
Chris: This is a fictional movie with a world that has completely gone to shit and one country pretends it’s not
2020: “Hold my Fawkes mask”
It's so incredibly relevant to what'd going on today it's crazy.
Anyone here from Out of Frame?
syra Uh no, it’s not. This movie is more akin to the American Revolution than the false narrative, left wing socialist agenda that’s behind BLM and ANTIFA.
@@IndyMotoRider ok bruv the epidemic part then
Bill S I think you should watch the movie again. Even the England Prevails sounds like America First.
V for Vendetta is a wonderful, underrated movie. I love the language and the poetry that has survived underground despite the extreme prosaicism and baseness of
economic rationalism. V's entrance must be one of the best ever made.
ohhh please, his entrance is completely bullshit, he talks in a lot of words that start with V (and not even that consistettly since there are not enough words) then slashes a big Vorro sign into a poster and never talks in alliterations again
I love how it is more for him than her, how gleeful he is, this absolute badass that just saved her from a gruesome fate
great film, underrated in my opinion (not by chris obviously)
Familyguyextreme yea one of the best movies
Totally underrated,that's why it's on imdb top 250(for casuals the most popular list about movies),ahead of movies such as the deer hunter,stalker or in the name of the father
I saw Stalker on netflix,pretty weird!
+Jared Martin a soviet film on netflix,interesting
Oh there is another one on Netflix called Stalker different movie
Documented proof that V is the most quotable character ever written:
“The past can’t hurt you anymore, unless you let it.”
“Beneath this mask there is more than flesh, beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy. And ideas are bulletproof.”
“A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having.”
“There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidences.”
“People should not be afraid of their government-government should be afraid of their people.”
“The only verdict is vengeance-a vendetta.”
“There is no certainty, only opportunity.”
“A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world.”
“Remember, remember, the 5th of November/The gunpowder treason and plot/I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason/Should ever be forgot.”
“What was done to me created me. It’s a basic principle of the universe that every action causes an equal and opposing reaction.”
“Happiness is the most insidious prison of all, Evey.”
I Loved the writing so much, can you imagine of this movie came out now
Dilla Joints We’re living its plot out now.
James I was thinking the same
remember, remember, and don't ever forget an inch story... cmon... (to be noted I am using metric system)
“I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.”
@@dillajoints433 Why Dilla, we should learn from History. Maybe 2006 is not exactly History but as you so rightly say it's begining to look like today.
John Hurt being on a giant monitor is a direct reference to 1984. which he starred in and is very much in the spirit of V For Vendetta.
Isn't it interesting that in this crazy V like 2020, they release a movie WW1984 hmmm....a reference to wonder woman or world war 1984/V 2020
Inspector Finch is my favorite character because he is us, the audience - and, more accurately, the complicit citizen who, as V pointed out, knows there's something wrong with our government but has not yet developed and the courage to be that agent of change that V and Evey (great name for this movie, btw) have become. The pinnacle of Finch's journey is when he lowers his weapon on Evey which allows her to blow everything up, to include destroying his own complicity! Stephen Rhea was perfectly casted as his worn down facial features literally embody the spirit of an oppressed people who have learned to tolerate the infringement of all their liberties while hating themselves for it. V for Vendetta is one of those movies that are so good that I'll finish watching the whole thing if I happen to flip to it through the channels whether it has two minutes left or two hours.
dorsal 2008 w
dorsal 2008 really two minutes left I change the channel in case something else is on
Plus the actor who played Finch. His wife takes it to whole other level.
I couldn’t agree more, masterpiece!
Finch has his own storyline and character arc fleshed out much more in the original comics this film is based on. This is only one of the reasons it is even better than the movie. Absolutely worth reading, whether you enjoyed the movie or not. Alan Moore's writing is superb, and David Lloyd's congenial drawings are breathtaking.
I love V For Vendetta. I liked Stephen Fry's character. When his show included a skit making fun of the government and showing their inability to stop V you knew he was aware he would be taken away in the night and probably killed. His reappearance at the end with others who died was very satisfying. Thousands of people wearing Guy Fawkes masks watching the twisted government burn. Evie standing with the detective who hunted her and V watching the beginning of a new England. Still gives me chills.
Roll on 2021 and government will now imprison anyone who mocks them with a sentence of 14 years
@@timmythetooth2587 Lol where?
5:29 is that sexual harassment
CHAINSLAWTER HD shut up
CHAINSLAWTER HD HAHAHAHA
CHAINSLAWTER HD As soon as he said that, I knew someone would make a joke about that.
Wow man really original comment must've tooken you minute to come up with that
Piss off Trigger Alert
Fun fact: Natalie Portman actually did get her head shaved on screen. That wasn't a wig or something. That was her hair.
Yup.
kainhighwind2 Watch Natalie's Rap on SNL channel. That sketch was filmed some time after she shaved her hair.
Love it when actors are dedicated enough to do this type of thing.
Same thing happened with Karen Gillian in GOTG. Only she shaved her hair before filming. If only more actors were dedicated to acting as a whole, we wouldn't be getting a guaranteed 10-25 shitty movies a year.
Captain Obvious217 I remember Christian Bale and what he did for the Machinist. That was an extreme case of dedication. Sometimes actors take it a bit too far.
I thought I was the only one who thinks V for Vendetta is a near perfect movie.
Me too. Epic movie!!!
It is perfect
Its not perfect, but a pretty brutal depiction of the reality of politics.
@@anbee8127 WHY NOT PERFECT ? care to portray the negatives or mistakes or things that could be handled better ? Or you just have a big opinion that you like to shove in other people's faces ?
@@alejandromate4071 how did the lines get laid? Care to share??
Thanks for reviewing this Chris!

I'm just glad that this movie gave us those fantastic masks.
guy falkes masks have been around for centuries, although I see you point it brought them to light
True.
King of Wakanda thank DC
xDark Star117x You mean Vertigo and Alan Moore.
I see you everywhere
This is one of my favorite movies of all time:)
Also that prison letter makes me cry every damn time.
It is my Favorite Movie of all time, slightly above Empire S. Back
I find it shallow and pedantic.
Caleb McEnroe This movie is like the opposite of shallow for me
Rune why
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I would definitely agree with the A+ rating.
hum.. spoiler alert?
gargouille Heh... Sorry. Maybe don't look at the comments before the video?
Electric Skittles the tunnel scene
I don’t understand how this movie only received 72% on Rotten Tomatoes-it deserves 95% to say the least.
I know right? but im still glad it got atleast 8.2/10 in IMDb. Rotten Tomatoes is irrelevant now for me anyway.
Film Critics need to be paid a lot to get a good review
@EnigmaDrath yeah I agree. I watched the movie first then read the comic later, and I judged this movie like a movie, not like a 100% adaptation of the book. And it was amazing, I loved it.
Wtf is rotten tomatoes?
@@bluu_ice6554 who doesn't know
"God is in the rain" One of the best lines ever! Great review as always Chris.
So scary thing. I finally watched V for Vendetta tonight. Fantastic movie. Once it was done, I heard that John Hurt passed away. I wasn't sure who it was until I looked him up to see that he was Adam Sutler. It was the first time watching a movie with a dead guy in it I didn't realize just died. Don't know if this makes any sense at all, but my John Hurt Rest in Peace.
I didn't know he died he was also in 1984, really sad that no one paid enough attention to these movies,he tries to warn us
"There's no big reveal where she kisses his burnt face and accepts him as he is, or some stupid shit like that"
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you give Deadpool an A+
*DESTROYED.*
That movie was meant to be cliche. Deadpool was meant to be cheesy yet hilarious. Both movie are great. Personally, I prefer V for Vendetta.
Deadpool is also an A+ even if not at the level of V for Vendetta - What movie compares; especially in this current time and age..
Ohhhhhh, this movies based on 2020. Now I get it.
It’s actually set after 2020. Try that for a mind fuck 😂😂
@@TriplePJ 💥💥💥
@@TriplePJ To be specific, it takes place in 2027.
@@kaptainkool3911 what’s crazy though is that it was originally supposed to be depicted in 2020 but they thought it was too soon to be realistic😳
Yup.
When V for Vendette first came out I had just come out as bisexual to my family. My step mom in particular was not accepting of this and began to tell me how much of a freak I was and that no one would ever love me. The scene with Eve reading Valerie's notes made me feel strong in the face of such cruelness and more importantly not alone. My step mother openly hated the movie and wished she had never let me see it. But the message from it were already inside me and she could never take that away as much as she wanted to.
Go girl
Hope your doing okay now. It’s horrible how your family treated you…
Nobody cares. This movie sucks.
It's called "sexual deviancy." Nothing good comes of it, and the fact that it upset your family so actually demonstrated how much they really cared about you. Unfortunately, you were too young to understand. I hope and pray you know better now.
This movie is more relevant now than ever.
I knowwwww, it's greattt
I love the fact that V isn't taking revenge for a wife and kid who got murdered. He's taking revenge just for himself. For some reason, that shit is refreshing as hell!
Surprised you didn't mention how the guy playing Adam Sutler the dictator is the same guy who played Winston in the adaptation of 1984
Rylade475 If I'm not mistaken, that was done intentionally with casting, which makes that fact even more awesome
Yes it had to be deliberate. To put John Hurt in the film as a so so Big Brother, is definitely a wee wink to Orwell/1984 fans.
it was an intentional choice and a direct reference. good eye.
Oooooo.. That's where I saw that guy before..
Nebulous Games He is also the first victim (dinner scene) to the Xenomorph in the original Alien film.
He recently played the War Doctor in the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who as well. So maybe it was there, going by recent work he has done. Oh and the last Indiana Jones film, where he walked around like a babbling chimp for half of his screen time.
I think the most recent thing I saw him in was that thoroughly entertaining film Snowpiercer
The man is a legend in Britain.
Hugh Mungus?
fcukugimmeausername Humongous what?
LOL

I watch this every November 5th. It's my favorite film. Gets me every time. Evey's final speech makes me cry every time I see it.
When you see Parliament blowing up at the end, with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture blasting triumphantly - man, it always puts a lump in my throat.
remember when DC movies weren't made by DC...good times.
as far as i know DC does not make movies.
get rekt
I find it funny that your comment is stupid but I find it HILARIOUS that you were upvoted by people as dumb as you are! hahaha oh man.. made my morning.
Airshot Warner bros makes their movies, not DC
Lol, if DC movies were made by DC AKA the dudes who wrote their comics/animations, DC would've literally ruled the world by now.
Instead we have WB.
Fucking adore Alan Moore. Love the graphic novel. Love the movie. Fucking great. So psyched on this review.
Also....relevant....
Goddammit I love chris stuckmann.
VeganMikey V V I remember reading the Watchmen Graphic Novel in School and loving it so much that it brought my love of comics back somewhat
Been a huge fan since Killing Joke, you should read that too
Y'all slept on this movie... they tried to warn us
I rewatched this movie recently and its haunting how close we are to this society. This is one of the few movies I think Portman is good in. This movie gave her the chance to actually act and show emotion. She def makes me cry
So did I this is crazy right??
I completely disagree. She has always been talented. Look at Leon the Professional and possibly Black Swan, and tell me if she was never talented. She just gets scripts of films she doesn’t feel interested in, like the MCU or maybe the Star Wars Prequels.
Speaking of terrorist films, please please review four lions.
Edgiest, funniest, terrorist film ever
That movie is hilarious, I love it so much :D
A perfect parody.
rubber dinghy rapids bro
love that film but Chris will never review it.
The Scarecrow why not?
I'd really like to see a film about Guy Fawkes
samlikesfilms as an American I would love to hear more about him if it is historically accurate.
The problem is that not a whole lot is known for sure, some people even think that the whole gunpowder plot was a set up by someone else, like some GOT level intrigue and plotting.
I would love to see both sides but I love history, most people don't.
It's a miniseries called gunpowder on HBO
Patricia Metz
There are many books about it.... you CAN read, can't you?
When I was in school when this came out I was WHOLLY obsessed with V. Many an emptied ballpoint pens and V-fanart-infested notebooks can attest to this.
This is one of those movies that remains rock solid however many times you watch it. Incredible.
You can definitely see the wachowskis influence in this movie, still my fav film lol
I absolute loved this movie, Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman were incredible.

Edgelords rejoice!
You joke, but looking at some of the comments there are some honest to god neckbeards in this comment section.
*tips Fedora*
*BOOTLICKING INTENSIFIES*
Lol
I call this movie a masterpiece
One of the genius parts of the film is the casting of John Hurt as High Chancellor Sutler, the head of the fascist state. For anyone who doesn't know, he played the hero in the film adaptation of George Orwell's 1984, who is living under, and tries to stand up against, a fascist regime.
Barry Dalgarno Dude, I love both of these movies and that just occurred to me how ironic that is.
strictly speaking it wasnt a fascist regime in 1984 but yeah
I watched this movie in 2021! How absolutely relevant it is now.
Chris, I insist that you also review Watchmen, which is personally my 2nd favorite comic book film, but more importantly it is unarguably the other best Alan Moore film adaptation and probably even the best Zack Snyder movie.
The first monologue with all the V's is by far the best character introduction ever committed to the big screen.
Hugo Weaving is a Monster like actor, he's amazing 🖤
This film alone is 10000x better than anything in the MCU.
They’re not comparable
@@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347 mcu is the most overated shit
@@6hramdeoavinash788 hey the only two DCEU movies that as good as the MCU movies are Wonder Woman and Shazam. Justice League is not as good as any of the Avengers movies.
@GLJohn Stewart still overrated.
@@MasterGaming-ve4gz no Joker is overrated. Bruce Wayne is a child in the movie. Who is the antagonist? Robert Deniro or Thomas Wayne who might be Joker's father. That part was stupid and played for fan theories. Did we really need to see Bruce's parents die again. WB has killed them more often than all the times Uncle Ben has died. Joaquin is better than Jared but Mark Hamil and Heath Ledger are still the best versions of the Jokers.
With each passing year this film is becoming a reality all over the world.
RIP GEORGE FLOYD 🖤🙏
George Floyd died of a heart attack according to autopsy so...
Steve Blane coronavirus actually. That’s what news media is saying now
Brian Paul the dude had meth and fentanyl in his system. The autopsy was already done. It concluded a heart attack. Case closed.
Steve Blane and COVID 19 . Case closed
@@adamlynch9153 execpt thats not true, stupid schmuck, he died of asphyxiation.
V for Vendetta is without a doubt one of my all time favourite films. One of the best things for me about it was V himself, in that he was a complete mystery. No one ever sees his face (even though the mask does come off, the face is never revealed), not even we the audience and no one knows or figures out his past before he went to Larkghill (not even V himself) which leaves it to the audiences imagination as to who he is and he could be anyone. Oh and I love V's introduction to Evey-it's just so strange even by the standard of film quotes. One of my all time favourite quotes in fact.
Jupiter Ascending will be a masterpiece in a few years... joking... love this movie... it's a shame it was so underrated...
There was no redeemable quality about Jupiter Ascending
myztikrice YOU are clearly one of those people who disliked the movie and thought if everyone thinks is shit then it means theres not one good thing about the movie wish people would stop being so much like dickheads and actually admit their truths about the films like chris stuckmann
Not true, Michael Giacchino's soundtrack was amazing.
Chris back at it again with the surprise reviews!
How funny that you post this review the day a friend and I ran into Hugo Weaving at an Australian petrol station.
Unfortunately it seems more and more that character development is a lost art in "action" movies.
Mad Max: Fury Road is the most recent example, and that was 2 years ago.
It's good in the mcu. Except for Thanos in endgame but ignore that.
This movie now seems like a documentary in 2019
Soo true the way the media lies and deep state politicians corruption is being revieled to the public. Trump is our V.
Oh boy, how you enjoying 2020?
Dustin Dewitt Did you cross over from the mirror universe? That reads like you're trying to convince yourself you're on the right side. Bit like Finch.
@@Yggdrasil42 Its genuinely amazing how fascists can watch things like V or Starship Troopers and other media which castigate fascism and still come out thinking their the good guys.
omg even more so now in 2020
Gonna watch it again thanks to this haha. I also thought it was pretty disturbing, but that's probably cause I was only 13-14 when I first saw the movie. Curious to see what it'll be like now for me. :)
+Sven Vee it'll be totally different movie.
UknownAssassin yeah i bet!
Sven Vee It only becomes more disturbing with age as you understand society more
I watched it last night on November 5th like the nerd I am after not watching it in a few years and I now love it even more. When I first saw it, it was a cool movie with nice action sequences and a cool character. Now, I actually appreciate it much more. Its political insight, characters, chain of events, plot, and everything about it is so well put together. The part where V knocks down the dominoes while clips of the country caving in on itself literally gave me chills.
You're not alone. We're watching this movie in class to write a essay comparing it to Animal Farm...
God I love this film. This film literally, and I am not exaggerating, changed my life.
Hi stephen!! Can you share in what way the film changed your life? I kind of have the same feeling but i cant explain it 😟 thanks!!
Rewatched this film tonight, 5th of November 2020. One of the most criminally underrated comic book movies / movies.
This was my favorite DC movie before The Dark Knight trilogy came out!
Chris, thank you so much for acknowledging November the fifth (or Bonfire night/Guy Fawkes night as we call it here!) Many youtubers don't make an effort to revolve content around holidays in other countries so this was amazing - you managed to be respectful to us Brits, watch a film you clearly love and review it with passion. You're very quickly becoming one of my favourite youtubers! You really deserve all the praise and credit you get!
Being born on November 5 only makes this movie more awesome to me. Love the review Chris!

The book is a better story, but it's a tough read.
The film is fun to watch, but gives a disappointingly simplistic view of the setting wherein the government is definitely bad and rebellion is definitely good, and ends on an optimistic note, as opposed to the tonal and moral ambiguity of book ending's state of chaos, or history's Guy Fawkes whose failed mission only made things worse for the oppressed.
For context, I saw the movie first and have no delusions about source material always being better than remakes / further adaptations. They're both okay.
***** What?
Maddock Emerson translation - imma sound smart and say I watched the movie first and read the book afterwards, ridding me of book goggles.. And still think the book is better... Thats what the op was going for
Hadrian Zelanog I didn't say the book was better, I meant to say it's more or less on par with the movie.
When I say the book is "a tough read" I mean it's goddamn hideous to look at, and with so many panels per page half-full of text that it might as well be a prose novel.
The narrative got dumbed down in the movie for the sake of mass appeal, but it does make significant improvements in the presentation of the story.
The book isn't *just better.*
shut the fuckkkkkk up jersh, got spongebob as your damn pic, grow up
Kyrie Irving Hey now, Kyrie, that's a very mean thing to say to another person.Go to bed, young man. No dessert for you.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who was lost the first time watching it but grew to absolutely adore it!
A fantastic, criminally underrated movie, but the standout is Hugo Weaving, who is incredible. Amazing actor. 🙏
A rare gem of a film. The more I watch it, the more I appreciate it. And it is surprisingly relevant to our current time.
Oi, Stuckmann, what d'you think of *Z for Zod's Snapped Neck!*??
Zod's Snapped Neck its fuckin great😂😂
Zod's Snapped Neck All the pussies whined about it

Please review "Watchmen" next, Chris. Thank you.
The Directors cut, too :3
and also girl next door 2004
This is pretty much my favorite movie of all time, and I seen this I was like, "I better not watch this, he's not gonna see it like I do and I'ma be mad." Thank god your intelligent enough to see all the meaning and beauty in this movie. ^U^ I'm so glad you appreciate this movie the way it should be, it's positively wonderful.

John Hurt played the protagonist, Winston Smith, in 1984. He pretty much plays big brother here.

If you're on the East Coast it's already November 5th.
Dalton Deverell its 21:27 eastern time right now for me (new york time)
It's November 5th where he lives. Timezones... learn about them.
Considering that Americans don't celebrate Guy Fawkes Day, Chris was probably thinking that it would be more relevant to upload this review on the day that it's relevant. Not the day after it's been celebrated and not on the day in an area where not a lot of people celebrate it.
Just finished watching it... and its scary how everything abt this movie is exactly on whats going on right now!! Like its as if they saw into 14 years into future
Or there has always been a push by a small rich group of families who always planned to get global control, problem is not a lack of warning signs but conspiracy nuts not believed until it's too late.

I have no idea why people do not talk about the score for this movie. It is sombre and haunting during the saddest scenes like Evey’s imprisonment and her learning about Valerie, but also very uplifting during the most inspirational scenes like when Evey is in the rain and raising her arms.
No longer fiction.
What? Are you saying that the Nazis are back?
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 well if you wanna call our government and the Trump supporters Nazis , you can
@@510Pro they're so far from being even close to the Nazis.
I saw the movie earlier this year and boy was I missing out. It is now one of my all time favorite movies. V is a really cool character. So glad you gave it a good score
I watched this for the first time a while ago when I couldn't sleep. Somehow I managed to avoid spoilers which usually doesn't happen and wow just wow this is a masterpiece. Made me cry like a baby.
This is film is definitely one of my all time favorites if not my undeniable number 1. Great review Chris.
Totally agree with this review. It's what comic book movies can be and should be :) It's my 2nd favorite behind The Dark Knight Trilogy.
If this DC movie came out today, man o man would film critics slam this movie for being too violent and saying it promotes terrorist. It is a really good DC movie and comic. WB has balls to make something different with this film.
Sitting here in 2020 waiting for V
It’s a beautiful film
I’ve watched it every year on the 5th since it’s relies & never get tired of it
I remember when this film came out and I just had to buy the novel. Absolutely fell in love with it ever since. Truly amazing
Undoubtedly, It's one of the best movie in the history of human kind.
Last time I was this early... oh forget it! I'm outta jokes!
Batman outta jokes? I thought you were always prepared Batman
Fucking batman, get your shit together
Robin would have had some good jokes
Last time I was this early, you had parents
***** Dude really :(
V per vendetta, Donnie Darko and Brazil ... my favourites movies 😍
Vale :3 Check out "A Clockwork Orange", "1984", and "Blade Runner (The Final Cut)"
Vale :3 Donnie Darko is no bueno anymore
Daniel Mashanic i will they are in my list to watch
A Clockwork Orange is my 3rd favorite movie of all time, Blade Runner is among my top 25, and 1984 is one of my favorite dystopian novels.
It’s on my top 10 list of best movies all time. The story is so relatable to life
This movie is an absolute masterpiece I look at this movie as one of those rare films that we get once in a generation that we honestly don't deserve. It's just so good and given how a lot of moviegoers can be and what garbage ends up becoming number one at the box office sometimes it feels like this movie is just too good and we don't deserve such a film.
😂 No, it's absolutely not.
Saw this on 2020 and it’s ridiculous resemblance and importance that this film has , less than afraid or disappointed about how alike to this film life in 2020 , it just makes me curious what else is yet come that V can’t guides thru .
less then afraid curious.
This movie has aged so incredibly well
It's always nice to see this wonderful movie get some richly-deserved love.
I thought that Ninja Assassin was ok, I'm just gonna put that out there
Luis Umana it wasn't bad. good action
Luis Umana I like it too.
Liam Betthauser That's what I'm saying, it's not great but it's not terrible. it's just ok
It just had strange blood and bad effects.
Luis Umana Pretty good action honestly. Just shitty CG effects. The Raid is like a good version of that.
It's so heartening to see V for Vendetta getting the warm embrace by most everyone today. It has not only stood the test of time but gained traction from being a cult classic to being a bonafide classic in film history. My only concern is it's popularity is now spurring talks of a television show or possibly a sequel. As much as I love the characters, this is a fully contained story that needs no further exploration.
Really nice to find someone agreeing with something I found to be a wonderful work of cinematic art! One thing no one has really mentioned in any review - how much I loved the dialogue of V. Nice.
