We're all mad here.
I'm a day behind here. Thoughth it was only the 4th. ;)

I loved the movie too, but haven't read the graphic novel. No real plans too but I might later. From what I hear, the graphic novel is much more about grey area and moral ambiguity. V is an anarchist and the Prime Minister of England is much more relateable and what she (yes, "she" apparently) does is more understandable. That seems to happen a lot though with topics like that. Watchmen was the same. I've read the Graphic novel several times and actions that would be considered morally dubious were tweaks a bit and characters either made more villainous or sympathetic.

I still like the movie for Watchmen but I do find it less interesting the way some of the moral kinks have been altered.

In V for Vendetta Hugo Weaving definately makes the movie though. Gotta admire an actor who can pull of a role with only his voice and body language. :)
