V for Vendetta Ratings & Reviews
- Zokkiie7d agoA genuinely masterful adaptation of the comic. It keeps that bold, rebellious spirit but reshapes it into something that works perfectly on screen. The tone, the visuals, even the pacing — it all just clicks. Nothing feels watered down, just… refined. What really stands out is how confident it is. It doesn’t over-explain or play it safe, it just leans fully into its ideas and lets them hit. By the end, it feels less like you watched something and more like you experienced it — and yeah, it lingers in your head way longer than you expect.
- theLillyPadApril 19, 2025A very venomous view on governments vested with voluminous sovereignty; this venerable, vibrant film will vest the viewer with valiant impulses for revolution and revivification for the vital various civilians vivisected by the vacuous systems which venture to avail themselves upon them. In view, a veritable vaudevillian veteran named "V", cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.
- Ricardo Arnaz CPA, ACCA USN-retiredMarch 31, 2026I love dystopian movies. Clockwork Orange is one of my all-time favorites. I understand what was being made and the symbolisms in the movie but to me it was just OK. I don't know if Clockwork is too high of a bar, but to my opinion, I think V was overrated. V was like Resident Evil. People say Clockwork was ultra-violent, this sure was not a box of Swedish Fish.
- Big HulkyMarch 29, 2026Nothing wrong with the movie, just not my style.
- jkljlk1197March 5, 2026"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 9, 2024One of the absolute best movies ever made. It has such a charm and atmosphere and also a strong and good message. And also one of the best plot twists ever.
- Peter CharpentierJanuary 31, 2026Wonderful movie about what life could have looked like in COVID times
- Richard ThorntonJuly 19, 2025A movie about how a government used a virus on its own people, then with the help of media propaganda was able to scare the population into complete obedience and lockdown. Seems a bit far fetched.
- darsanJune 8, 2025"people should not be afraid of their governments. governments should be afraid of their people." v will forever be my fav role that hugo weaving has played and this film is even better the second time.
- gerald.37January 26, 2026Great movie amazing actors and plot new favorite would watch again
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂August 27, 2025The timing of this film locks itself into a parallel universe with the social justice fight of the modern libertarian. The film's ability to find common ground with a modern internet anonymity movement and its demands for a new kind of freedom is absolutely groundbreaking. The freedom not to be tracked and owned by corporations and government alike would be alien to the period yet it still rings eerily similar to this old British song. The British antihero version of Forrest Gump. The significance of this film will only grow as the internet's impact on modern society inches more and more toward becoming the most instrumental invention in all of mankind's history. One of the best films in modern times. 9.7/10
- ayayronMay 18, 2025"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
- JakeysJanuary 26, 2026Some real slick writing and a more important than ever anti-fascist message in this, slightly undermined by the fact V is basically superhuman and the government is cartoonishly villainous, so the stakes never seen too high. Nevertheless, it's a good movie all round and you can see why it's had such an outsized cultural impact. Hugo Weaving's voice work is also exceptional.
- William De YoungJanuary 15, 2026subject is more relevant then ever but it lacks something, idk its a mix of "look cool fights we can do now" and the main important subject of a fascist state and what it does to people. it wants to have the cake and eat it too.
- luttapyJanuary 9, 2026One of the classics
