My concern is that this film might be sending a message about what I consider to be real terrorism - killing innocent people to advance a political agenda (targeting innocent people is never justified). I admit I have not seen the film, but if it evokes images of bomb belts and suicide bombers, the parallels with Islamic terrorists may be made. And this would be wrong.

I have seen a trailer for the movie. Of the scenes they show the government seems to be a Nazi Germany stand-in. Assuming this is so would we call someone who killed Nazi officials a terrorist? How does V differ from say the rebel alliance in Star Wars? I haven’t seen the film (since it hasn’t been released that’s not surprising.) I have seen a trailer for the movie.
