V For Vendetta

Alan Moore was wrong to disavow the film. It's oversimplified a bit (neccesary for the comic-to-film format) and it's a tad ham-fisted at the end, but really, "V For Vendetta" is really, really good, and more than 75% is lifted straight from the comics.

Yes, the lead character is a terrorist. Yes, he blows up buildings in London. But there's a lot of meat in there to chew on.

Yeah, that's the thing that gets me. There were many more bombings in London when "V" first came out. Of course, it didn't have a huge market, not like a major motion picture. But still -- I've kinda liked seeing the Matt Drudge types fidget.
