Anyway, the movie itself wasn't that good. The Wachowski brothers made 1 excellent film (the first Matrix) and that was about it (for me, at least).

Love this movie.

And I think Hugo Weaving does an amazing job of portraying charisma THROUGH A MASK!!!

He was perfect for the role of V.

Anyway, I own this movie on DVD, HD-DVD, and I cannot wait to get it on Blu-Ray. I see no reason to change the codec as the movie already looked flawless on HD-DVD.

"VoilÃ*! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain 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 van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; 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. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

The simple things they did, such as Neo wearing a cool black trench coat in the first and then he's wearing some stupid half-coat/half-priest outfit in the final two. I know all of the films were filmed withing a 5-year span continuously, but the first just had a different feel than the other 2.

As for V, have you ever read the comic?

In the meantime, we've confirmed the Blu-ray version of V For Vendetta will include all the goodies found on the HD DVD version, including the In-Movie Experience feature.

As far as reloaded, the special effects were top-notch.

(At press time, Warner had not announced any high-res audio options for 'V for Vendetta,' but we'll keep you updated as any additional specs are confirmed.)

One of Warner's most eagerly-anticipated "catch-up " titles, 'V for Vendetta' will make its Blu-ray debut in late May.

Originally released on HD DVD back in October 2006 (read our review), 'V for Vendetta' is one of a handful of high-profile Warner titles that were previously held back from Blu-ray release due to the format's then-inability to support the studio's "In-Movie Experience" picture-in-picture commentary feature.

Finally set for release on May 20, the Blu-ray version of the cult hit will include all of the previous HD DVD's supplemental content, including an In-Movie Experience exclusive picture-in-picture commentary (Profile 1.1-enabled), along with a suite of four making-of featurettes ("Designing the Near Future," "Remember, Remember: The Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot," "England Prevails: V for Vendetta," "New Wave of Comics"), a 'Saturday Night Live' digital short, "Cat Power" montage, and theatrical trailers.

Announced tech specs feature 1080p/VC-1 video (2.35:1) and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio. (At press time, Warner had not announced any high-res audio options for 'V for Vendetta,' but we'll keep you updated as any additional specs are confirmed.)

Suggested retail for the Blu-ray has been set at $28.95.
