V for Vendetta (2005) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction & Commentary

REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER...

This is my first time watching V for Vendetta (2005), the dystopian thriller that has only grown more powerful and relevant with time.

In this video, you’ll see my real-time reaction, commentary, and honest review as I experience a story about fear, control, rebellion, and the fight to hold onto truth and individuality in a world shaped by propaganda and authoritarian rule. It’s bold, emotional, unsettling, and packed with moments and lines that clearly still resonate with people today.

More than just a revenge story or political thriller, V for Vendetta feels like the kind of film that stays with you long after it ends. Between the performances, the themes, and the atmosphere, it’s easy to see why so many people connect with it so deeply and why it continues to spark discussion all these years later.

🎬 Directed by James McTeigue
🖊️ Written by Lilly and Lana Wachowski
⭐ Starring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, John Hurt
🎭 Genre: Thriller, Drama, Sci-Fi, Dystopian

John Hurt played Winston Smith in 1984 so it's cool to see him take on the opposite role/Big Brother figure in this movie

Hugo Weaving's acting without seeing his face for the entire film is amazing.

"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free."

Valerie's story is so beautiful, I can't watch it without tearing up.

Happy to see that you understood the unmasking at Parliament. Have seen more than one reactor confused by the reappearance of dead characters.

I always wondered what a big hearted British person would make of this movie.

Happy to see such an honest and thoughtful reaction.

This movie is more relevant and necessary today than ever before.

The parallels between V's rebirth in fire and Evie's rebirth in water are both beautiful and chilling.

it was a 10-issue graphic novel The story originally appeared in black and white in the British magazine Warrior between 1982 and 1985 before being continued and republished in color by DC Comics in 1988.

This film gets scarily more and more prophetic every day.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's like it was written yesterday. When I saw your reaction video hit my You Tube feed I was thrilled. I knew you would love it and do a "bang up" job with your reaction. You didn't disappoint.

V For Vendetta was written by Alan Moore - famous British author of Watchmen and others. It first appeared, in black and white, in Warrior comic from 1982 to 1985, and was later coloured and completed by DC Comics as a graphic novel. Which was when it was really noticed. The adaptation for the film is hotly-debated among V fans. Some think it's terrible, while others quite like it. In the comic, V's final target is much jucier/more poetic than in the film.

I experienced this film twice the weekend it was released nearly 20 years ago. I've owned every physical version of this movie over the years. Once you experience this film, it stays with you... it will never leave you.

This is absolutely the best review. I saw the parallels of covid and now you have added the current situation. I do love Amelia.

Kate, I’m a single dad raising a teenage daughter and we recently had a discussion about why I enjoy watching your reactions.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but what I told my daughter was that when I love a movie or a song, I want to share it and see other people love it too. And most importantly I want to see their honest reaction and opinion. I tell you this because you often apologize for becoming emotional during reactions. So you should understand that that’s exactly what I, and maybe we, want too. We laughed and we want you to laugh. We got angry and we want you to get angry. We cried and we want you to cry. So please don’t apologize or for goodness sake edit out your truest reactions, because that’s why we’re here.

May God bless and keep you, Kate.
