Your review rang true. The Washington Post has its head eternally up its arse, as ever, so I don't follow anything they say.
My instincts on movies (among other things) have never failed me. They did not do so this time. "V for Vendetta" was incredible, given the dearth of movies that have come out as of late. It was a breath of fresh air, cleaning out the old garbage and setting the stage for the "blockbuster summer". This is one movie I will definitely own as soon as it comes out on video.
Matrix aside, they made a great movie. When they're not going off on some God-complex, I think they can be very competent directors, with the right story behind them.
Go see V for Vendetta. You won't be disappointed, even if it costs you an arm and a leg at the theatre. :P
