I ask because as you may know, Moore *hates* the movie treatment of "V" so much he had his name completely removed from the film. He seems to feel his work was simplified and Hollywoodized too much, and all the grittier and deeper elements excised. I did hear a TV Guide reviewer say much the same. She really liked the movie, but said it was "very good, but not great", specifically because it was a little too tame, clean, and simplified compared to Moore's work.
Whaddya think? Never having read it, I'm sure I'll be entertained." I have read the original work repeatedly though not in a few years to be honest. My memory of the work tells me that the movie did a good job of keeping with the spirit of Alan Moore's original work. It's my understanding that Moore is also pretty bitter about his relationship with DC/Vertigo. Without commenting on that because I don't really know anything about it, I can see why that might color his perception of the film. The other author David Lloyd is completely cool with the movie. Get the graphic novel and read it. It's definitely well worth the $20 or so it's going for these days. In my mind, it's absolutely one of the best comics ever produced.
