V for Vendetta<\/A> is the kind of movie that would normally spark angry letter-writing campaigns led by Focus on the Family and Concerned Women for America, those defenders of delicate conservative sensibilities.  However, I think the film’s comic book roots and somewhat obscure title have kept it under the radar of those who would find it most objectionable.  I read the book before seeing the film and, to be honest, I’m not sure why Alan Moore<\/A> insisted on having his name removed from the credits.  The film is generally faithful to the book, but with some changes to account for the the technological\/political shifts that have occurred since the book was first written.  I especially enjoyed the film’s depiction of the “Valerie” sequence (those who have read the book or seen the movie will know what I’m talking about).  Hugo Weaving is appropriately charismatic and sinister as Codename V.  Natalie Portman demonstrates that she’s much more comfortable acting on a real set rather than in front of a green screen.  And she looks great with or without hair.  <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/DIV>
