3/5
"When the script sticks close to Alan Moore, it works best. Which, sadly, is seldom."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C+
"Director James McTeigue finds moments of pure brilliance amid a story that stumbles from one questionable choice to another."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

B
"V's journey through this story is as much a psychological one as it is a journey into politics, vengeance and fight scenes."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

"With its delightful mix of action and thinking, V for Vendetta is in one sense escapism but on the other, depressing as hell."  Movie Views  Ryan Cracknell

4/5
"The persuasive ideas found in the script prevail over the unavoidable comic-book clichés and the director's minimal learning curve"  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

F
"After being burned in effigy for 400 years, you'd think Guy Fawkes would appreciate a little rehabilitation, but he could hardly approve of the way the Wachowskis have done it."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

8/10
"Volatile and vehement as a timely cautionary tale, it emerges as the first exciting, significant and, potentially, the most controversial film of 2006."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

3.5/4
"May be the ballsiest, angriest picture of the current administration."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"A futuristic London where the government uses fear to elicit cooperation from the people is smashed by a man in a mask. V for Vendetta is an allegory of modern America."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
