An overrated movie

I remember it very well, before watching this flick, I had some huge expectations. Indeed, from the moment it was released, it became instantly a massive cult-classic. However, somehow, it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Indeed, it took me like 3 or 4 years to watch this movie, it was really high on my 'to-wach' movie list. It was supposed to be great and I was expecting so much but, at the end of the day, sure it was a nice movie with some very neat visuals but the story was not really compelling, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think Natalie Portman is a very good actrice but I didn't really believe in the connection she had with V. I also thought it was rather funny to hear some viewers saying that this movie had ‘a deep political and philosophical message’. Come on… The whole thing was actually rather shallow and it could have been so much more thoughtfull but it wasn't. Still, it is a nice movie to look at and, I have to admit it, it was still fairly entertaining but I seriously failed to see what was so amazing about the damned thing. Anyway, to conclude, it was after all a decent flick and it is worth a look but I really don't get why everybody thinks it was so great and it must be one of the most overrated movies ever made.
