Pretty, but it'll be such a disappointment if this sucks.
It'll also be hard to update. It's *so* tied into the idea that any minute now there could be a nuclear war. That mindset is just alien to anyone under 35 or so.
I have faith. as it happened, I liked V for Vendetta. I know it wasn't like the book in a lot of ways, in others it was true to the story.
there were some hackneyed moments, but overall, I liked the flick and felt that it had merit in its own right.
I will try to love this movie as well. it's directed by the same man who did 300 and Sin City, and both of those movies were very true to the books. uncannily so at times.

it's just such a good story. and I think they will be able to work it into today. terrorists have replace the nukes.
