Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
My favorite line(s) from the movie:

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. (he carves a "V" into a sign) The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. (giggles) Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

honestly, that is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Seriously? It's one of my favorites. I have heard people not like it as much as me, but you, I believe, are the first I have ever heard say they didn't like it. Interesting....

Not to call you guys out, but curious to see how you guys think it sucked? Acting? Special effects? Story?

terrible story and screenplay. just a dull and boring movie. the only things I can even remember about the movie was that "Remember, Remember" poem and Natalie Portman had a shaved head.

What I found so amazing about the movie was that V (Hugo Weaving) could project emotion with a mask on. Even if he didn't say anything, you could always tell what he was feeling......

This was one of the things that I thought made the movie so good. The others would include the political message and the psychology (classical conditioning).
