Who actually enjoyed the movie?


I don't know about you but I personally really enjoyed that movie! :) This was the best werewolf I have seen in a movie and I thought that Amanda Seyfried was perfect for the part. What did everyone else think?? I hope there are more supporters of this awesome movie! :)

It was a decent film.
Why do people underrate it so much?
I donno... maybe because of the story...

I liked it, not the best film I've seen recently but not a bad one either. 7/10

I loved the movie. Red Riding Hood is my favorite fairy tale and this version of it was very well done, in my opinion. I've always thought the story of Red Riding Hood had latent sexual undertones and this movie played up that angle quite openly. It was a dark, atmospheric, gothic, erotic fairy tale. Just my cup of tea! :)

Amanda Seyfried blows hard, but at least this movie wasn't as atrocious as Twilight (or should I say Twilight's trailer, since I've never seen that movie and never will). It was just a plain generic teenage movie, enhanced with a couple of decent darker scenes and some cool older actors. Neither remarkable nor loathsome.

I loved it. It's a beautiful fantasy, and unlike our mental masturbatory critic out there on page one, I couldn't care less about the "incorrect camera angles" nor "everyone's poor acting". I thought everyone shone bright in their skills given the dialogue, and the backdrop was magical. And that's exactly what I wanted to see.....a fantasy.
Some people love to regurgitate their opinion as if it counts. We like what we like! And I loved this film.
I went and bought it and I watch it quite often. 

AGREE. The only I gope, there will be a part 2 one day. That would be AWSOME.

Seconded. It was actually quite good, if partially cribbed in terms of ideas from Neil Jordan's "The Company of Wolves" (1984), which had what was at the time the most impressive shape-shifting scene ever seen in a werewolf movie.
Anyway, this movie has much to recommend it, regardless of its flaws. The acting is quite passable, the sets look great, the wolf looks threatening enough, the atmosphere is appropriately brooding.
