V For Vendetta: El Libro Fue Mejor

I saw the movie last night and I found myself gravely disappointed. Somehow, I knew not to expect too much, but even my low expectations weren't quite met.

Indeed, watching the movie V for Vendetta if you're an hardcore Alan Moore fan like myself was like hearing one's favorite Stevie Wonder songs sung by the contestants on American Idol: you want to like the results but geez, some things just shouldn't be encouraged...

Some scenes lifted verbatim from Moore's original graphic novel worked okay, but the scenes in which the filmmakers tried to “update” or “improve” the original material just didn't work that well.
