Movie Review by Tim

March 8th, 2007

A for Average

You know some people might give me crap for this one because either you loved this film or you hated it. The first time I saw it I hated it.......I fell asleep midway through it and was so not interested in it that I never went back and finished watching it. Oh the beauty of On Demand Cable......

So nothing else was on and I watched this again the other night and I must say that it was better then I remember it being. I watched the full length of the film this time and I guess I can sort of see why people liked it but It still is not blowing any bells or whistles in my face.

The absolute remarkable part of this film is Hugo Weaving, his dialogue makes this film, without it I think it would be weak. I can not take Natalie Portman seriously in anything.....I mean come on she is always the 13 year old girl named Matilda from THE PROFESSIONAL to me. She annoyed me in that movie, she annoyed me in Star Wars and she annoyed me in this.

This film reminds me a lot of the video game called Red Faction, a cool plot about the government being too powerful and treating citizens wrong but this film focused too much on V's feelings about other things and not enough on paying back everyone that screwed him. If you are going to have a villain that uses nothing but knives then you better come up with better fight sequences then what I saw.

So Matchflick is on a 5 point scale, most rate on a 10 point....It is simple just multiply your rating by 2 which I gave a 3 times 2 equals 6.....To me its an average flick, nothing more, nothing less. This might could have turned into a good trilogy but they obviously did not plan for one by killing him off, so easily might I add. Blade one was average, X-men was average but the sequels to both were great. I would really like to have seen what they could have done with a second one.
