"Viola! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Whew! Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles! I have heard any thing so verbose and so elequently delivered as the above in V for Vendetta. I watched this movie couple of days ago and quite presently surprised. I cannot believe I did not see this movie when it was in the theatres. It must be fantastic on the full screen. The story line is 'simple' yet very powerful. I have enjoyed reading Count of Monte Cristo, right from an early age, I have read the unabridged and later the full version and something about the idea of Edmond Dantes always remained alive and vibrant with me. This movie refers to Count of Monte Cristo and the Edmond Dantes multiple times and so closely resembles it (one man seeking vendetta on the wrong-doers). I love (read: absolutely love) Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, it always inspires me and brings hope for tomorrow. This is so well played in the movie with its significance of ending tyranny and bringing hope to the people. Like I have said before the soundtrack makes/breaks the movie for me, and this movie delivers and more!
