He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. Proverbs 27:14 – [Tranlsation: Let me sleep in]
So the Wife and I decided to go to the theaters last Sunday and watch “V for Vendetta”. It’s the latest by the Wachowski Brothers – you know the makers of the Matrix trilogy. The main character was even played and v.o. by Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith). I guess it was meant to be intellectually compelling and to relate to the ‘problems’ a post 9-11 world faces daily. I mean the ‘Bad Guy’ in this flick looked like Hitler, but resembled George W. It was so obvious what they were trying to say with this guy … Anyway, I was diggin’ the fight scenes, which there weren’t very many of actually. Like the Matrix the Wachowski Bros’ tried to layer the story line and lead the viewer toward an expectation all the while referencing nearly every major historically comparible event to the message of this movie. In other words, I give it 3 out of 5 stars mainly because I like the kung-fu and kept wanting to see “V” reveal his face beneath the mask … oops. Well, it’s definitely worth the price of a ticket, but don’t necessarily go in with high expectations.
What I did enjoy about the experience was watching the up & coming Sci-Fi trailers. Yes boys & girls X-Men III “The Last Stand” plays in a theater near you May 26. As most 3rd installment to Sci-Fi trilogies attemp to do, this one ends with a big battle scene. As you can imagine there are a lot of ‘new’ faces and dazzling effects. I’ll definitely buy a ticket.
