I might be biased because I admire the source material for this but they really did turn something that was excellent, well thought out and provoking into something so terribly pedestrian. It might be because “V for Vendetta” was bound to become something entirely different in the current political climate, the fact that Margaret Thatcher was in charge back when the original was written should be kept in mind whilst reading the original. Anyway I just feel like they somehow managed to destroy everything that made the original worthwhile, they really sucked the life of it. The Matrix-like fights at the end of the movie were a bit nauseating. I would definitely recommend the original over this crap any day, even better go read the “Watchmen” comic, that one is a masterpiece. I think that it is safe to say that the first Matrix movie was probably the only worthwhile thing that the Wachowski brothers are ever going to be involved in. I can not blame Alan Moore for hating any attempts at filming his work, this is despicable. Probably the only good thing about this movie was Stephen Fry who is always a joy to watch. It could have been worse but that is hardly a good criteria to judge a movie by.
