Hee, multicolored princess of power TF's ... *giggle*

A smooth shift could have been done I think - even while running, done in a morphy kind of way - rather than the hugely pained, bone cracking, slow stretching twisting used in AWIL. (which was of course, perfect for that movie, and the best tf I've ever seen, yadda yadda) I've yet to see a movie pull that off properly.

I rented it the other day. I didn't think it was that bad. It was better than I thought it would be but I didn't really have high expectations for it anyways.

The book is way better.

Well, I don't think it has to be painful to be more real, but going for the full rainbow aura effect and *poof* you're a wolf is a bit much

Watched it yesterday, it was o.k., I am glad I saw it, not a groundbreaking film by any means, but an interesting story, the transformations were kind of...eh.  I think the accents were all way off in the film though for people in the same family.  I would rate it as average, nice storyline though.  It has a set-up where there could be a part 2 someday, wonder if there will ever be one?

This has nothing to do with the topic, but are you a Casualties fan?
I have some of their CDs.

You should check out the book. It actually seems less "young adulty" than the movie.

Monty, you totally need to read the book. I really liked the book.

The movie was okay. If I found a cheap copy somewhere or someone bought it for me as a gift I wouldn't complain. I just got done watching it on Pay Per View, lol.

I knew when I first heard about the movie that it wouldn't take place in America like in the book, but the geography of the film threw me off a bit. Almost everyone that had an accent sounded French to me and they weren't in freaking France. Although it's probably me being retarded with accents

I was annoyed that it didn't follow the book and I was annoyed at the ending. And them hunting people. And the transformation scenes. It was a little too pretty for me. Like, fairy magic pretty. I guess the director was trying to convey that shifting is a beautiful thing *shrugs*

Other than that, it was a nice little film.

"Look at meeee! I'm a pwetty ball of light!!!" *leaps like a broadway CATS performer into a rainbow*

The ending's totally different, which kinda bothered me. And the rest of the movie's story line didn't match up too well. It had the basic plot of the book: Vi is supposed to get married to the leader of her pack, there's that small trouble causing group within her pack, and she falls in love with the "meat boy", which upsets some of the pack members.

It's just irritating that it didn't follow the book as closely as it could have. But if you can see it for free go for it. It's not of those "that's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back" shows, lol.

Same. And while the glowy aura transformations were definitely more new agey than they needed to be, they didn't bug me that much. And like I said, they were explained - the wolf church in the beginning? And Aiden... whatever his name was, mentioned something about the loup garou being blessed, and having a special role to fill. *shrugs*

I just cant...bring myself to see this movie. I read the book 2x, and that's all I need. I say this because from all I've seen and heard, I will not like what they've done to it in movie form.
