V for Vendetta is a warning against far-right reactionsim. It seems to me like it's taking what literally goes on in Muslim cultures today and applying it to how horrifying it would be if it happened in the Western World. If anything, it's a warning to fight the kind of religious fantacism that our enemies embrace, and rather scathing in the fact it makes it clear that ultimately the people are to blame for tyranny, because they acqueisce to it.

Overall, I think most movies aren't easily classified as 'liberal' or 'conservative'. I mean, I've seen liberals blast films as innoculous as The Incredibles for, according to left-wing nut jobs, espousing Nazi ideals. I think there's definitely a good social message in the film--don't be mediocre, be great--and liberals HATE that sort of message.
