So, I just finished reading V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. I must say I rather liked it, but then I have a soft spot for dystopian type settings. Certainly had some concepts in it worth pondering. Eventually, I might watch the movie, just to compare it to the comic. *eyes the pile of movies that need watching and books that need reading* Oh, for extra hours in the day. They would be well used.

I have not read the book, but if it follows the usual pattern of being about 40% as good as the book, then the book must be amazing. I love the story and concept behind V.

I have the movie but have not read the book, so I can't compare them from first hand experience!. A few years back I read a critique of the movie by a friend in the creative arts business who ripped it to pieces compared to the original book.

If you watch it as a standalone film rather than a book to film conversion then it's fine!

I do try to treat books and movies as separate entities, though sometimes it's hard.
