A review on (idlebrain.com) Jeevi's reviews

Was just crawling through some movie pages and landed on a review of V for Vendetta by Jeevi. Thats right, the idlebrain.com jeevi. If you are reading on, I assume you have seen V for Vendetta.

Now, V for V is not a simple plot. The movie is more than just a movie. Its based on a graphic novel, about V and his efforts to uproot a totalitarian state. Implied or otherwise, it was talking about issues like hierarchy and Anarchy indirectly. Now, if you know about sociology then it would appeal more to you. The movie is definitely not about SFX.

My Review on JEEVI's reviews

I was surprised to see this review (http://www.jeevimovie.com/dvd-vforvendetta.html). This guy, JEEVI, seemed popular among some circles about movie reviews and thats what idlebrain.com about. Reviews.

"I liked the basic plot of the film. It is all about what is an idea. The protagonist says that idea has no shape. That is the reason why he chooses to be masked and prefers to be known to the men only as V. The director handles the film very deftly by connecting the past of V with the future of V in the most logical way"


Now this asshole, JEEVI, has no clue what it is all about. To him, the movie is about this guy having no name and how well the 'director' connected V's past with his future. Truly amazing!!
Plus, I thought that the screenwriters do that job. This guy doesnt know how films are made in the first place. Fuck! I cant believe people actually read this guy's reviews.

and then, he goes on with this - "The best thing about this film are the great dialogues"

To him, the best part is the dialouge. Well, then i thought maybe this guy had some nice picks from the film. But look what this dork picks :

1. Artists create the lies to tell the truth. Politicians tell the lies to bury the truth.
2. Creedy: Why don’t you die? (After firing innumerous rounds of ammo on V) V: Beneath this mask, there is no flesh. There are ideas. Ideas are bulletproof.
3. Doc: Are you going to kill me? V: I killed you 10 minutes ago (then shows the syringe using which he injected virus in her)


Surprised that you couldnt find 'people should not be afraid of the governments, but governments should be afraid of their people' ? Thats because this sorry SOB does not know how to write reviews.
Then comes the funniest part - the 'tailpiece'.

"Tailpiece: V hijacks a TV station and plays a prerecorded video that exposes the government and reveals his identity. A similar scene is there in Shankar’s Bharateeyudu where Kamal Hassan addresses the entire AP by hijacking a popular TV channel"


Sorry Jeevi, V does not 'reveal his identity' anywhere. Also, 'expose the government' ? You dork, what does he 'expose' about the government?. He takes responsibility for blasting the Old Bailey.
This SOB, jeevi, doesnt know that V for Vendetta comics came out from 1982 -88. V for V and bharateeyudu...Truly amazing work,Jeevi. I dont understand how you pull of writing reviews inspite the fact that you dont know how to watch a film! Fuck - you dont know what the gunpowder treason is, what it meant to V and his ideology and you write a review about the movie? Bravo!!
The best part is his rating for V for Vendetta - which is 4/5 (which translates - rent this DVD) and entertainment quotient = 50% !! Amazing work you gay bastard.

No wonder you would find a rating like 4/5 in idlebrain.com for a movie that sucks absolutely; Cos the guy who writes them is a total asshole who does not understand what movies are.
All these guys only know from which movie some new movie is adapted, etc etc. These guys know a lot of trivia and think that they know how to write reviews.

Jeevi, trivia is NOT review.
Jeevi, quit writing reviews. Stop bullshitting yourself. Jeevi, stop thinking that you know how to write reviews. You dont.

idlebrain hired jeevi when it initially launched and, as no other review available, jeevi become famous soon

i am surprised to know people even rely on jeevi's reviews

one must have movie knowledge to comment on the movie and should know in-out about movie making and their efforts to give personal reviews, as there are no standards for for these kind of jobs, even a road side sucker like jeevi is giving the reviews.

most of us are educated and judgemental capability, we must turst ourself than depending on these kind of fake reviewrs.

my dear folks why blame a reviewer jus because he has made some misplaced judgement...a review is jus a personal opinion it is not something on which u should base ur opinion on....if jeevi says so then it is his opinion....as far as telugu movies are concerned he pretty much does a good job in giving a review...
