V for Vendetta is a good movie because it portrays what is going on and what will become of our government if they do not change their ways. The movie consisted of a marvelous cast: Natalie Portman as Evey and Hugo Weaving as the mysterious freedom fighter V as well as many others.

V urges the people of Britain to rise up against the government and meet him in a year on November 5. This movie does a good job in showing things that are going on in our very own government.
