The V For Vendetta movie, which many fans of the original work, including myself, were hoping would be good but were more than a little worried about (especially after the casting change mid-shoot and the movie being put back several months), has had some more good word-of-mouth. Following on from a very good review in this month’s Empire, the UK’s biggest movie mag, comes a very positive review from a good comics source, Michael C Lorah over at Newsrama, who was invited to an advance screening of the movie and a Q&A with the director James McTeigue and the original artist David Lloyd. Michael commented:
” To cut to the chase, the movie is good. Damn good. Yes, there are differences between the celluloid version and the inky pulp version, but the heart and soul of V For Vendetta, the tale of one man’s quest to reclaim the rights of people from a far-too-protective government, remains unaltered.”
