I'm glad you enjoyed it~!

Aaah, another film based on a comic. I really liked the film version of V for Vendetta, although I can't say I've read the graphic novel. :S Maybe I will check it out ...

Interesting! Fans of the original are usually the harshest critics, so they must've done something right. :) I probably won't have time to go and see it at the cinema (stupid university), but I'll remember to check it out as soon as it comes on the TV. :)

Yes indeedy. They are the latest fad. ; ) V for Vendetta is an excellent movie, although a lot of fans have been really harsh about it... unfairly harsh, I think. The graphic novel is also truly excellent... V is even more batshit crazy than he is in the movie. Both V for Vendetta and Watchmen are very intelligent reads; they're very political, and Alan Moore weaves all of these references to music and literature into the fabric of the novels, occasionally very subtly... when I catch a reference it's like finding an Easter egg, I feel very smart and proud of myself, but I'm sure half of it goes right over my head.

I think the reason fans liked the film so much is it is extremely faithful to the book. Like, besides having to cut out a bunch to fit it all into a movie, what's left is peeled straight out of the comic panels.
