V for Vendetta
« on: March 07, 2007, 06:40:52 PM »
Okay I just watched this movie for the first time on HBO tonight.  I have to say I was rather surprised.  At first I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not.  Yet I noticed I was rather into it, I even got to the point where I slid down onto the floor to get right in front of the tv.

How'd everyone else feel about it?

I liked it.  At first I thought it was just another comic-book movie, but it was actually really good.

Alan Moore, the writer, absolutely hated it. Or maybe just the idea that someone would take his beloved seminal work and turn it into a movie.

It's an awesome movie, I just think Alan Moore (as well as many other comic writers) get pissy when they realize that they sell the story to the comics people (be they DC OR Marvel), and that the comics people now own the story, and can do with it whatever they want.

Yeah but like any writer, they hold their work dear to their hearts and never want to see it get spun a way they didn't intend...

Well, that's the problem, I hear, when you take a story to hollywood. Even Frank Miller's first movie didn't do well (they brought him in to write Robocop II), and he described it like this:

"You're a fire hydrant, and there are a lot of dogs."

I'm just kind of curious to see what Natalie Portman looks like doing her Briteny Spears impression. ;)
