V for Vendetta is one of my absolute favorite movies/books and I hate that the Fawkes mask got co-opted by some real shitbirds. In any case the movie is so great. Just enough action to give it some flash and just enough story that has been distilled to keep the spirit of the book. Stephen Fry is forgotten in this movie but he represents the "degeneracy" of everyone in the society and is just... whisked away like trash.
Evey's transformation scene nearly brings me to tears and it is nearly perfect to the spirit and tone of the comic.
How's the comic? Never bothered with it.
I read it once a year, I'm a Moore stan. There are a few strings left out of the movie and some plots and characters are combined, simplified, or removed, but there spirit is till there. Worth reading.
It is closer in spirit to Moore original work than Watchmen, and hell I love Watchmen.
