Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici* by Afro Thunder


V for Vendetta.
I just Viewed the Verily best Video that’s come out in a Very long time. Now, not to say that the Video was Vindicated, because I just Verbalized it was the greatest, but I thought the comic book was more Versatile in content. Mainly because the comic was longer, more Vigorous, and it had those Voluminous little details that all tie together to truly make it a grand picture. Now the Video had these details, it was Vigorous, it had small things that intertwined to make a grand finale, but it just wasn’t as much as the comic. As well, I felt that the comic had Voluminous Vehemence, or Vacuity of Vehemence (when needed), than the Video, but I must say that the Vies were much better than the ones in the comics. As well, Evey’s character was a bit Veered in the Video than in the comic. The most Venerable difference was the way she would leave constantly instead of stay with V in the Gallery of Shadows and live in the land of “Do What You Please”. As well, Evey didn’t have a job in the comic, and when she was saved the first time, she passed out, and was in V’s debt. She stayed with him until he decided that it was time for her to grow up, so he took her outside his house, and left her all alone. She was then taken in by a kind man, who, unfortunately hung around with the wrong kind of people. And this was what led to his death, being shanked by one of his “comrades” because he owed some money. As well, there was no virus plot in the comic; it was a vendetta, which turned into a revolution. And the most disappointing thing was that they didn’t play “This Vicious Cabaret” which was a song that was pretty much an outline of the story, but C’est La Vie. There were several other things that were left out or added to make the plot work better, which I’m grateful for. I can sympathize with the directors and writers because they had a limited amount of time to make such a grand story.

But, enough about comparisons, time to move onto the Video itself. When I saw the previews, I was discouraged that the chick that played Padame in Star Wars was going to Violate the Video and make it a Vast Vertigo by Vanquishing what could have been an incredible Venture. Then I saw that the Wachoski brothers were directing it, I said “HALLELUJAH!!!” because this was a great Vicissitude, and also because my other favorite Video was The Matrix, and so I knew that they’d Vindicate Padame’s Vicariousness and make the Video Vivid. But, and I’m Very grateful for this, I found that Padame didn’t Vitiate the Video, (probably because of the Brothers Vindication) and I was also very pleased to learn that the guy that played Mr. Smith and Elron was going to play V himself, I instantly knew that this Video was going to become the huge hit that I knew it would become. I was also very pleased at how well they stayed to the original story, improvising when necessary, and still having the main details in. I also thought that the Vying and direction was tweaked to perfection, making sure that the combat wasn’t too dark, (like Aliens vs. Predator) wasn’t too shaky, or too short, every Vie was perfect, short on simple people like Rent-a-cops, longer on Fingers, and the last Vie was the best fight and the most Vicious I’ve seen since the battle between Morpheus and Neo, giving me a new perspective of knife Vying and its Versatile functions. All in all, this Video was Vital for unveiling the world how it’s Viscosity of Videos, were Volatile, Virulent, and Vastly Vacuous. Its Victorious Votive was truly Voiced in Vivacity. V out of V.
