I liked the movie as a standalone thing, but my one big ick with the adaptation is them changing the core message. V is an anarchist, someone who thinks that order can exist without government. The word anarchy is never even mentioned in the movie, and the key takeaway in the film is that "governments should be afraid of their people, not the other way around," a message that still implies governments should exist.
