I like the line.... "people should not fear their governments... governments should fear their people"  It might be a good movie based soley on that.

It's not from the comic book, it's from Thomas Jefferson (I think).

I saw the ad for it on TV.  When I heard that line I immediately thought that lazs was going to want to see that movie, for sure.  :)

Yes, Lazs, but the big turndown for you is that it all happens in UK.

Besides, have you noticed that the hero uses daggers because he isn't allowed to have guns? ;)

Except for an occasional Heavy Metal magazine and some Creepy comics and the comic book that was printed for the movie 1941, I haven’t read any comic books since 1975.   I don’t think I'm going to search out the comic book for this one.   Reading the book and then seeing the movie or vise versa usually tends to ruin one or the other for me.  When it comes to movies based on or derived from books very rarely have I ever seen a movie that was faithful to the book it was based on.  I say rarely because right at the moment I can’t think of one that was a good book and then made into a good movie but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.  
The problem for me is that when I read a book I develop a sort of mental picture of the characters, the places and events that are taking place with in the story, and they almost never compare to what the director's vision of the story is.

Alan moor wrote V for Vendetta, he is a geniouse in the medium, his "watchmen"  raised the bar for graphic novels, he wasnt going to sell the rights for any of his comics but he finaly let vendetta slip since it wasnt his most cherished property.
