V FOR VENDETTA [2005]

Director James McTeigue & The Wachowskis bring Alan Moore & David Lloyd's V For Vendetta comic books to the screen with mixed results. 
It's faulted with sloppy dialogue, uninspired lighting & framing and completely altering the political agenda originally explored in it's source material to better suit American culture with a politically juvenile message. On the other hand, the film never seems to waste scenes on pointless character moments and continues to build upon their development and the world around them, which makes it easy to become quite involved with it's intent.  
By no means a perfect film but still a entertaining ride that lost it's original objective.

3½ 1812 Overtures of Destruction out of 5
