V For Vendetta (2005) |
"Because of its powerful imagery and ideas, most viewers will be discussing 'V for Vendetta' long after it ends." |

Tomato |
V For Vendetta (2005) |
"'V for Vendetta' stimulates by providing an idealistically profound political message accented by beauty-and-beast romanticism." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat |
Vacancy (2007) |
"Although not a bad movie by any means, 'Vacancy' gives up on its great, creepy potential before even getting started." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Vacancy (2007) |
"The terror in 'Vacancy,' a pleasantly frightening little tale, comes from interesting characters and psychology rather than action and blood." |
Frank Wilkins |
Splat |
Vajra Sky Over Tibet (2006) |
"Traditions of 'wisdom' and 'compassion' are talked about in 'Vajra Sky Over Tibet,' but a non-storyline film must be at a loss to image such concepts.

Valentin (2004) |
"Essentially good family fare, but also too simplisic to suggest anything in the way of food for thought afterwards." |

Valiant (2005) |
"Despite its formulaic trappings, 'Valiant' proves that great heartfelt storytelling will almost always win out over big budget brawn." |
Frank Wilkins |
Tomato |
Valkyrie (2008) |
"A taut, suspenseful WWII thriller. Bryan Singer's exhaustive research pays off by lending this film a stylistic 'period' feel." |
Frank Wilkins |
Splat |
Valkyrie (2008) |
"It's difficult to immerse yourself in this glossily mechanical recreation of the 1944 plot by German officers to assassinate Adolph Hitler." |

Van Helsing (2004) |
"The story and characters in 'Van Helsing' are squashed by big-budget special effects." |
Frank Wilkins |
Tomato |
Van Helsing (2004) |
"An exciting horror spectacle that combines Frankenstein, Dracula and Biblical lore with elements of the James Bond series." |
John P. McCarthy |

Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006) |
"'The Rise of Taj' is filled with the same sexploitation humor that's been done much better in films like the American Pie comedies." |

Vanilla Sky (2001) |

Vanity Fair (2004) |
"Becky Sharp Returns" |

Vanity Fair (2004) |
"Thackeray's readers could not help but root for his 'I'm no angel Becky,' but there's nothing to care for in this overblown production." |

Splat 2/5 |
Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) |
"Much too talky." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato 7/10 |
Venus (2006) |
"Within this shamelessly but cautiously lecherous Shakespeare-quoting rascal lies O'Toole himself, proudly not ready to surrender to his own career twilight and the onset of his winter years." |

Vera Drake (2004) |
"Immersing the audience in her character's plight, Imelda Staunton is more than terrific as Vera Drake." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
Vera Drake (2004) |
"The title heroine's goodness may stretch credulity, but such people do in fact exist." |

Veronica Guerin (2003) |

A Very Long Engagement (2004) |
"Worthy of admiration for its attempt to combine elements of adventure, mystery and romance in such a visually exciting package." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Very Young Girls (2008) |
"Even with too many annoying bleeped names and obscenities, in their own ways and words, these girls honestly tell their backstories that are individual yet of a piece." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
"Much of this film is blatantly told to us, narrated by a toneless male voice that obviates the need for actors to show thoughts and feelings." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
"Woody Allen's 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' smolders with the best of them. It's also one of Allen's most finely crafted films." |
Frank Wilkins |

The Victim (2006) |
"If the cheesy ghost effects and tired scare techniques in 'The Victim' don't have you giggling up a storm, the abominable subtitle translating will." |

Victory at Sea - Feature Length Edition (1960) |
"All too real, this non-fiction account of a generation's heroes." |

The Village (2004) |
"Twister: Q&A with M. Night Shyamalan" |
David Haviland |
Tomato |
The Village (2004) |
"Most of 'The Village' meets all of Shyamalan's requirements for a don't-leave-to-get-popcorn movie." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
Viridiana (1961) |
"'Viridiana' probes deep into psychological earth; at the core, it's a despairing picture of the dark cavern of the human heart." |
Donald J. Levit |

Viva Laldjerie |
"The White City is subtly, memorably captured." |

Voice (2005) |
"'Voice' not only does justice to the genre but comes across as an overall fine film in its own right." |

Volver (2006) |
"One of Almodóvar's more subdued works, 'Volver' mixes genres but in the end achieves neither serious drama nor serious comedy." |
