Brazil Versus V For Vendetta

We were all thinking it, but it took Matt Feeney at Slate to say it: V For Vendetta is not a good movie, Terry Gilliam's Brazil is.

In fact, weren't we all just thinking that Brazil is actually the greatest film ever made? You bet we were.

Slate could have gone further with the comparisons - a lot further - but this is a good opening gambit. Anybody got anything to say in V's defence?

That "George Bush Ruins Another Movie" is one of the worst pieces of writing I've read in a long time.

And why is that? What do you think is wrong with it?
