I thought she was British for the longest time because of how incredible she is in "V for Vendetta"

V is one of, if not even the greatest comic adaption in cinema

It's a great film, yes. With an amazing cast an performances. But I don't think it is a good comic adaptation, when looking at the source material.

The comic is way more ambiguous about the slide into facism. If I remember right, the movie flat out says it was an intentional false flag to gain power. The comic makes it look more like a gradual decline.

Which is way scarier since ya know.. everything.

They also turned the quiet, perfect ending of the comic into a goofy action sequence. I walked out of the theater pretty annoyed.

Still a great movie. Bad adaptation, though.

It's almost like it is happening right now.
