Relatable main characters don't instantly make the movie better.
Can you relate to the physical manifestation of Dream better than you can some random everyman hero?
Does that make Sandman any less wonderful?
Can you relate to a psychotic man convinced that his mask is his face, throws civilians down elevator shafts, and is an all-around brutal sociopath?
Is Watchmen not one of the greatest examples of the genre ever produced?

One of the MAIN POINTS of V for Vendetta is that he was fighting for anarchy. Not truth, not justice. Anarchy.
Another point is that you're never certain that V is the good guy. The government, while admittedly fascist, is NEVER SHOWN TO BE OUTRIGHT EVIL. Just totalitarian.
The movie stripped that gray factor away into a stereotypical good vs. evil story. They dumbed-down the story to increase appeal.

And I don't care for that.

And if you read the novel, why did you claim I quoted the movie incorrectly?

I claimed you quoted the movie incorrectly because, quite honestly, the quote in the graphic novel wasn't memorable enough for me to recall the difference. The scene portrayed in the movie, particularly given Hugo Weaving's delivery of the line, on the other hand, WAS memorable, so when it comes to that particular quote, my brain eschews the graphic novel version in favour of the movie version.

I'm not claiming that Sandman (A personal favourite, actually) or Watchmen or any other of his works are bad because of the lack of easily-relatable characters, certainly not. I merely pointed out that I found the movie adaptation of V For Vendetta to be more enjoyable than the graphic novel in part because I could relate to it easier. I'm not from England, I am not old enough to have experienced Margaret Thatcher's government even if I was from England, and don't particularly find a story that centers around a prostitute and an anarchist all that appealing. It's not that the original novel wasn't good, because it was, I just infinitely prefer the movie despite its deviations from Moore's original intent.

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

Anyone who doesnt get this should die.
