V for Vendetta

[krabapple]

pretty much suffers from the Matrix problem : it's got way too many ridiculous plot developments and characterizations going on, for it to take itself so fucking *seriously*. And given its subject matter, that's more than a little tasteless.

In a way, all the pretentious, excessive, self-conciously 'witty' verbiage reminded of the worst aspect of old Jethro Tull albums.

But it was better than Underworld, at least.
