No time for Vendetta? – Come on
First of all, this has to be said – ‘cmon bangalore. show some taste.’ Two reasons why I am saying this – V for Vendetta has released in Bangalore. Not in Chennai. Where it has a huge fan-base for the Wachowskis. I couldn’t get tickets during the entire first week of the release of Matrix Reloaded. I remember waiting with a huge crowd to watch the zero hour worldwide release of Matrix Revolutions. And I did catch it with a full Satyam theater. Unlike PVR Cinemas yesterday which had barely any people. Reason two – the movie is fun.
Suprisingly, the movie reminded me of Fight Club. Though, there isn’t much common to both – on paper or plot. Both movies ended with bombing. Freestyle ‘terrorism’. Good dialogue. The only difference – Fight Club was unapologetic while V is talkative. It needs its reasons. Spare the philosophical talk which goes over the top sometimes, add a little more subtlety to the performances and the movie could have been much greater than the sum of its parts.
It was a little disconcerting to see PVR not even half full for the show. Though this was on a Monday, I am sure when that movie comes out it’ll be packed. Every Monday.
A friend told me about “V for Vendetta” and spoke good about it. Waiting…
BTW, checked comments for BI2? :-) I am having second thoughts…
@Rubic_Cube,
Watch it. I am officially recommending it. As far as BI2 is concerned, the 2-point-something rating and the user comments don’t justify the gleam I saw in the audience’s eyes when its trailer was screened ;)
BI2 is a stupid movie … the trailer is much better than the movie … same with ICE AGE – MELTDOWN too … not as impressive as the original … INSIDE MAN movie has the song ‘Chaiya Chaiya’ from Dilse playing both at the beginning and the end (when the titles are playing)
@Shri420,
Well, thats my point too – people might want to watch BI2 instead of V inspite of BI2 being stupid and all that. Too bad about ICE AGE, ‘coz I liked the original. And thanks for bringing it up, for me to say – A R RAHMAN ROCKS!!
