Leslie Felperin has reviewed V FOR VENDETTA for Variety, after seeing the movie at the Berlin Film Festival.
The film is described as "often visually striking" but though "undercoated by a compelling sci-fi concept, graphic-novel adaptation V FOR VENDETTA feels flat as a storyboard."
Felperin feels "the film suffers as its most active character, V, is hidden behind a mask and helmeted with one of Cher's old Cleopatra-style wigs for almost the entire running time." She goes on to note "Weaving tries hard with voice and movement to add expression, but there's still nearly zero chemistry between the leads."
The action sequences are described as "serviceable but disappointing."
