V for Vendetta

Jen and I saw this today and OMFG -- it was an amazing movie. Started a bit slow but it kept building and building and building. Got more intense as more and more of the backstory was revealed. The casting was spot-on -- Natalie Portman was perfect in her role -- she is turning into an amazing actress. Hugo Weaving was a great choice for V -- he played Mr. Smith in the Matrix films. John Hurt was demonic as dictatorial as High Chancellor Stutler. The other characters were just as well portrayed. The premise is that much more spooky as it is entirely plausible in the next 20 years or so. See this one on the big screen...

Strongly concur. And kudos to Weaving for having the courage to take a role wherein he never shows his face; what an oddity in the hyper-narcissistic world of acting.
