I just finished watching V for Vendetta, god what a good movie.
It's a communist movie too.

You agreed with the bad guys... that is very creepy.
Edit
Ohh you agreed with V.
V was clearly communist.

Actually, Guy Fawkes was more reactionary than even Aggy here. Historically, he was an English Catholic who wanted to blow up parliament to turn the nation into a Theocracy. If V is communist then it's because it doesn't understand the history behind itself.
That said, I hated the film. I saw it once and will never see it again. There's something sacrilegious in seeing Natalie Portman's shaved head.
I don't disagree with the action, but it was performed in an incredibly inconsiderate and stupid way.

I hated it mostly because the whole story/background to it was awful. And a film about England shouldn't have a obviously American actor.

Natalie Portman is Israeli :| We Americans don't ruin everything, you know (just most things)
Well, it's more because of the original Stronghold actually. The sig is most definitely from Crusader though, but both games had awesome soundtracks. Anyway, yeah, I'd play sometime. I'm sure there are other IH'ers who own the game who might want to play too.
I hope by this you mean that blowing people up was stupid and inconsiderate.
Hence my saying that the real Guy Fawkes was more reactionary than him.
Then, again, it doesn't bother to understand its own history. Nor does Anonymous for the same reason.
I do agree with this. I had the same problem with having Tom Cruise in Valkyrie. I mean wtf? It doesn't help that it was originally a "graphic novel" in the style of 300 either, which I also hated. Spartans with slight Scottish accents...yeahno.
Now Dan, have you ever spoken with an ancient Spartan? You can't tell me that the ancient Spartans wouldn't have spoken modern English with a Scottish accent unless you've ever spoken with one :|
