I don't think that I could have come up with a phrase that damns the Matrix more than "Dark City was a better film" ;)
You make good points, I agree. V fro Vendetta needs a good script, and a director who's not going to ride roughshod over the plot, particularly those bits which are most resonant with a UK setting. For example, set the film anywhere other than the UK, and you lose the Guy Fawkes/saint-or-sinner theme that pervades the comic.
Having seen League of Extraordinary Gentlemen butchered, I'd rather V for Vendetta was left untouched.
