No, the movie and the graphic novel have very different messages.
Alan Moore's for disliking the script are included in my link above. In general, it's poorly plotted. Um, let me clarify that. For a Hollywood action film, the plot holds together a bit better than usual. For an adaptation of "V for Vendetta", the plot is full of holes you could drive a truck through. The graphic novel is extraordinarily well-plotted, so they had to hack big holes in the plot in order to bring it down to Hollywood standards. =) It's also badly researched, which gets more airtime in the link above, but is less of a concern than the hack job on the plot.
It also significantly changes several of the characters and the roles they play in the story, usually for the worse.
