One sequence involves a tube train carriage packed with explosives… That’s not going to go down well with a fair chunk of British cinemagoers. That all these landmarks are found in London arguably makes V For Vendetta an even trickier sell in the UK. And we have a plot which makes a hero of a man who wears bomb-belts and makes his political points turning major landmarks into fireworks displays. We have a leading lady who spends half the film with an unflattering skinhead. We have a protagonist whose face - eyes included - is hidden beneath an inexpressive Guy Fawkes mask throughout and who packs his lengthy monologues with as many multi-syllabled words as possible. Rather it’s a very talky, deliberately paced political thriller yes, V is handy with a stiletto, but said scenes occupy fewer than five minutes of screen time, while his preferred method of assassination is lethal injection no need to draft in Yuen Wo-Ping to assist with that. Despite the trailer’s promise of slo-mo action scenes with swooshing knives pirouetting through the air while bullet casings bounce artfully off concrete, this is no teen-pleasing slam-banger.

So much so that the result is decidedly uncommercial. But what marks V out from its Moore-ish predecessors is that it’s been far less compromised by bottom-line concerns. Which does sound horribly like faint praise. The irony being, this is the best Moore-to-big-screen translation yet. V For Vendetta that he declined any involvement and ordered his name off the credits.

Or rather, it’s fans of Alan Moore who haven’t had much luck with movie adaptations of his work.

Graphic novelist Alan Moore hasn’t had much luck with the movie adaptations of his work: The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen was downright risible and From Hell deeply so-so, while Watchmen - Moore’s masterpiece - has stalled, spluttering somewhere in the pre-production netherworld.
