i missed out with v for vendetta

i tried reading it after the film came out, and just couldn't get into it. i'm trying to cram the classics of the more cult comics (read preacher, working my way through transmetropolitan) so i'm ready to bitch about the adaptations :)

there are bits of the film I like

but they utterly fucked the point of it.
Evie went through hell to lose her fears and become the new V, but the film ignores that and just has everyone as V, making Natalie Portman's character utterly redundant.

Fucking rubbish.

in all fairness

half of these comics would work better as short HBO series, like they're doing with preacher, i'll watch that when it comes out, but i'm still sceptical
