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! :)

I overall enjoyed it. I do think it did have a bit of a twilight light feel, although I think there is better character development in this one. I also enjoyed that it was a full wolf and not wolf man.

Ridiculous movie. One who watched it 6 times has no life I can bet my life on it lol
shareIt was pretty to watch, and at least the mystery aspect had me surprised. Seemed like they were trying to do too much in a movie. The flow of the mystery was pretty good, even though there seemed too many suspects. I would have loved the film if they would have cut out the romance, and played up the Thriller aspect of a village paranoid of itself, the inquisitor Solomon pouring fuel on the fire, and maybe some more exposure of clues. It might have turned out too much like Sleepy Hollow, though. I'll watch it again, maybe even buy it, and just idly multitask when Peter or Henry are in scene.
shareI really enjoyed it. I absolutely loved Amanda's character and the depth of feeling and sensuality she portrays. I loved the deep in the woods darkness of the village and I liked the storyline and the wolf too. I forgave any of its' drawbacks just because Amanda Seyfreid was such a pleasure to watch. Loved the score, especially during the celebration scene and Valerie and Peter's scene in the barn. I'll be getting the blu-ray too :)
I did lol
shareBefore werewolf movies became comedies ("An American Werewolf in London"), CGI bloated action movies ("Van Helsing") or only about teenage romance ("Twilight"), classic werewolf movies focused on the feelings of the characters in dealing with the curse of being a werewolf. Classic werewolf films focused on family members who had to cope with this curse.
"Little Red Riding Hood" is the closest to a classic werewolf horror film that I've seen for years. Because of this I gave it an 8/10.
The mood with the lighting, sets, and costumes was just about right. Having the werewolf be offscreen most of the time put the focus of the story on dealing with the curse. It also focused on the mythology of the werewolf legend (full moon, how to kill it and how the curse is passed on). Also, classic werewolf movies had an element of mystery about who had been infected and there was some of that in this new film.
The movie was not perfect (a little too much torture by Gary Oldman's character for instance) but overall I felt it was very good. Definitely one of the most underrated films of the past five years.
I realize that lots of people will not agree with me because of the way that monster movies have changed including becoming like action video games. But for somebody who likes the classic style, "Little Red Riding Hood" was a real treat.

it's just in my opinion - imo -
