Saw V for Vendetta. Have some generally minor philosophical differences with their interpretation, but I think they did quite a good job. Certainly better than any previous Moore adaptation, though that is weaker praise than I intend.

Yup. It's a good movie and I like it better than the graphic novel -- but it's not the same story. It's not simply Moore's V brought to the screen. Moore's V would have been a bad movie; long, slow, and incomprehensible, with no sympathetic characters. This movie would be a mediocre comic book; predictable, plot light, and derivative.

But I haven't read V for Vendetta in many, many years, so I'm able to disassociate the two.
