 Love this movie but book better!, 2008-11-14
If you haven't read the book I HIGHLY recommend it. So much better then the movie (always is) but I still like this movie and would recommend it if you're into werewolves and such.
On a side note what the heck is up with Amazon and always lowering their prices after buying an item?! I went through an outside company because Amazon wanted $30+ now down to $21? I would have paid that price and not the $30+ just because I have prime and don't have to worry about sellers NOT shipping the items to me.
 filmed like eyecandy, but not the book, 2008-10-30
having read and loved the book this was a complete and utter disappointment. The book being about a 16 year old girl coming of age and learning her feminine prowess, a process all girls go through if they are human or werewolf. This movie became the typical Hollywood girl meets boy story. finding myself so dismayed in the typical boring movie I have actually put it up for sale at amazon. I can say it was filmed with visual integrity, and my husband having not read the book was midily entertained.
 Doesn't compare, 2008-10-08
Some people say that you shouldn't compare books to movies, generally the people who haven't read the books, but when a movie is based off of a book of course you should compare it and judge it on whether it kept the integrity of the author's story, and this movie did not. The book was all about growing up as an american teenage girl and having this whole secret life of being a werewolf, of wanting to fit in, and be understood, but always being set apart. When making the movie they increased her age moved the movie across to a whole different continent, and basically turneed it upside down. All they really kept the same from the book to the movie was the names. Our main character doesn't even end up with the man she's supposed to. Not to mention they turned the good guys into bad guys and the villains into good guys. Even when not compared to the books, the effects were awful and the plot or point of the story was almost non-existent. This movie was awful and was not worth the money I spent to buy my ticket.
 I like a little Blood with my Chocolate, 2008-09-21
I've never read the book, and honestly thought this would be one of the regular hokey horror flicks... you know where the werewolves look more like big growly people in ape costumes?
This film was a breath of fresh air, though if you are after the usual slasher horror flick skip it, but if like me, you appreciate the romantic old-world side of the supernatural that is often only found in really dated literature, this movie is well worth your time. I've added the book the movie is based on to my reading list.
The special effects though few and far in-between, were beautifully done. Also a plus to the crew for using real wolves.
Needs to Be Observed while Imbibing Godiva Chocolate Liquer into Your Bloodstream., 2008-07-26
I loved Annette Curtis Klaus's novel. It did for werewolves in a smaller amount of time what Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles series did for vampires: Made them human and empathetic.
Klaus's story wasn't just one of people who became wolves at night and preyed on humans, but of the inner struggle their human part has with their animal part. Vivian learns eventually that she cannot help being what she is and that it's not so bad with a good, strong leader like her father once was.
Here is a disgusting story about nothing but senseless bloodshed, bad special effects, and it leaves you cold once the end credits begin to roll. There is no moral to the story about being true to yourself--just one long, cheap bloodbath that couldn't even begin to satisfy the most hardcore horror fans. Klause's book had some charm, humor, and heart in it among the truly eery moments. This so-called film adaptation offers nothing but cheap thrills and a meaningless waste of 100 minutes of your time you will never get back. Read the book, please!
