"You Would Have Been BALEETED..."

Wow, 2 bad reviews. If I based my judgement on two reviews, I probably wouldn't have seen any movie that has ever came out..... now let's see here...
Premiere Glenn Kenny
A compelling, rousing and at times strangely moving entertainment.
San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
Richly satisfying entertainment the way movies are at their best, when they prod you to think.
Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy
V for Vendetta puts its ideological intent first, and happens to provide smashing entertainment only as a vehicle for delivering its message.
Time Richard Corliss
It's a terrific movie. I love the look and the verve of the thing, the confidence of its epic design, its smart use of half a dozen noted British thesps, lending weight and wit to the supporting roles.
Rolling Stone Peter Travers
The explosive V for Vendetta is powered by ideas that are not computer-generated. It's something rare in Teflon Hollywood: a movie that sticks with you.
ReelViews James Berardinelli
V for Vendetta represents 2006's first memorable motion picture - a visually sumptuous concoction that combines political allegory, bloody action, and a few stunning cinematic moments into a solid piece of entertainment.
New York Post Lou Lumenick
An entertaining piece of pulp fiction.
USA Today Claudia Puig
Visually exhilarating, provocative and disturbing.
Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
Portman doesn't catch fire until the second half, then heaves herself into emotional action; this suits her initially passive, mostly unthinking character. Weaving, who acts entirely with his voice, is V's ideal embodiment: witty, rueful, pitiless, visionary and mad.
Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
The Wachowski Brothers once again they prove themselves our reigning masters of murk.
Slate David Edelstein
It's the perfect moment for the ridiculous but riotously enjoyable revolutionary comic-book thriller V for Vendetta-which will doubtless outrage conservatives and unnerve fuddy-duddys but liberate the rest of us with its magisterial irresponsibility.
Empire Dan Jolin
Setting out more to challenge us with its ideas than make us whoop at the action, Vendetta can be clumsy, but there are enough impressive flourishes to make up for its stumblings.
Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
One of the most eloquent tales in ages of dysfunctional love – between a man and his ideals, between a country and its government, and, in the end, between Evey and V.
Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
A lot of dark, Orwellian fun.
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Even if V for Vendetta isn't nearly as incendiary as it's been made out to be by some alarmist critics, there's still something enjoyably subversive about it, beginning with the way it tramples over the conventions of the contemporary action film.
So the moral to the story is: There are plenty of wonderful reviews for the movie, more than the bad. But there are still some bad reviews, like there are with ANY MOVIE IN CREATION. Don't base your judgement on it "looks like suck, these two people agree with me". Go and see for yourself.
