V for Vendetta completely rocks.  Vikki and I went and saw it late Saturday night, and were very much impressed.  The film is above all consistent.  The performances, the story line, and the sets/scenes etc. were all very consistent.  Natalie Portman actually acted, for the first time since The Professional.  Hugo Weaving was completely fantastic, despite the fact, or perhaps because of the fact that you never see his face.  Good effects, but they don't get in the way, and aren't the focus.  All around great film.  Makes me want to read the comic now.
