V for Vendetta And Reviews Continued

To further the case against my point, I looked for other reviews for V for Vendetta on the web, and they’re all over the map.

Here are some I copied and pasted from Yahoo:

Critics Reviews Average Grade: B
Source	Brief Review	Grade

(All of these review snipits had links to the actual reviews, but it was too much work to copy and paste all of that.)

If the reviewers can’t agree whether this is a good movie or not, then I’m back at square one: Do I see it, or not? In this case, the reviews don’t really help.

I only ever bother reading the reviews of the critics, not the general population; the general population reviews are always glowing, no matter how bad a movie was, so it’s not usually worth my time.
