How was the movie? If I waiting for the DVD, I would rent it, not buy it.Lazywolf wrote:Well, movie popcorn aside for the moment, the bros. grimm werewolf doesn't look too bad from the pictures. Not what I would picture one as looking like-the eyes are too human, for one-but oh well.
By the way, how was the movie over all? I want to see it now that I know a werewolf is in it...
...and now, let the popcorn stuff resume!

The Movie Overall: I enjoyed it. Went to see it twice, wouldn't mind going again. But it has all my demographics in it: horses, wolves and Pagans-as-protagonists Trust The Toad!!
The Wolf: I rather thought he looked hyaena-ish, especially the stance. I think that was intentional, though, because Gilliam mentioned it in an interview. The scene where he shifts and retains the wolf legs for a bit didn't look quite right, he was a little unsteady. And since we've already dropped a bunch of spoilers already, why not one more...
What I didn't understand is, the wolf could fly but the man couldn't — why couldn't he have shifted into wolf form and flown up into the tower? Why did he have to depend on the crows to grab him and take him up to Queen Rapunzel?
I thought the "Wolf with human eyes" look was good. That was used in "Wolf" and "Princess Mononoke" and it's a nice subtle way of implying that this is not a natural wolf.

Did they ever show the wolf flying? I though that was just the villager's overactive imaginations.vrikasatma wrote:What I didn't understand is, the wolf could fly but the man couldn't — why couldn't he have shifted into wolf form and flown up into the tower?

When finally the werewolf appeared my friend leaned over to me and said "Theres your werewolf!", inwhich I sat, smiled, and say. "Yeah, but it looked sorta cheesy." After that my friend looked at me with a 'your so ungrateful' look and snagged my popcorn.
I thought the wolf was pretty nice, but walking on two legs was really weird looking, and the thing looked like it could fly! Yet a villager said that it flew too, so maybe it was sapposed to be that way.

guess what. The movie is already on DC++ feel to everybody to download. Hope that wont happen with Freeborn. A friend i know never go at the cinema. He just download them and burn on dvd-r. How very boring.
Whats your opinion about DC++? Is it ok to download "older" stuff or not anything?.

Oh what a funny werewolf i am. come joining the eating party...
From what I saw, I would describe it as supernaturally-enhanced bounding rather than actually flying. He bounced from tree to tree like a ball in a pinball machine, not like a bird flies. From what I saw, I didn't imagine that he would be capable of hovering or flying in a normal way any higher than the tree tops. To sum: he certainly did things a real wolf couldn't do, but it was more like crazy-stupid jumping than actual flying.Lupin wrote:Did they ever show the wolf flying?

Didn't know about DC++. I wouldn't download anything new, that's cheating. I'd get an older movie, though, like maybe 10+ years old.
This of course dependent on how fast/sexy my computer setup is. I can't burn CD/DVDs, unfortunately, and I'm on dialup. Semi-outdated equipment, probably take altogether too long and wouldn't be worth it.
