Okay I JUUUSSSTTT saw the movie. Ummm at first I thought that whole jumping around was silly (especially the acrobatics jumping on walls and stuff. Isn't that a little played out). I LOVVVVVEEEEDDD the werewolf eyes especially the leader dude. Ummmmmmthe wolves thing was different, but I got into to it by the end. I didn't like some scenes like when the dude kept harassing the girl (even though she was trying to get him to leave her alone) and then when he finds out he's like why didn't you stay away from me. i was like that was dumb. I don't know it wasn't that baddddd. Ummm but I guess I shouldn't say that b/c of the fans that loved the book and hate the movie. (I understand, I got mad at anyone that wasn't an X-Men fan that liked the movie). okay well i'd say go rent it and go in it without expectations. I honestly think there could be  a sequel.

Does a sequel to this seem plausible?

It was a terrible film... Some nice locations, but very hammy... urrghh

Like a lot of people have stated the book is a bit far away as the same from the movie...if that makes sense.  The movie kinda goes its own way (like how the story for the Silent Hill movie was changed around a from the game...most of the elements are the same but the plot is different)...that's how the Blood and Chocolate movie/book is.  The movie acts more mature then the book, ages and personalities of people very different.  Some characters are not in the movie who actually influence the main plot of the book.  And the human character is much "braver" than in the book (one of the things i found a better turn than...what he behaves like in the book).  In the end, you'll have to take the changes or differences with a grain a salt, you're basically gonna read a very different story that's only gonna have a few elements related to the movie.

In some ways I liked the movie better than the book.

Gabriel didn't suddenly change at the end from this creepy dude who managed to snag the chick anyways into a likable guy and Aiden didn't pussy out like a wuss.

Liked the book, really, but hated the ending. B&C the movie was a real departure from the book but it was still pretty sweet, especially since the ending was kick ass - no wussing out, no girl suddenly deciding to go with the creep anyways or stuff.

Gabriel even got shot. Sweet.

Considering that it was done by the same production people that did Underworld, that isn't surprising.  The book wasn't all that well done, other than a few scenes; but once it was a movie, the book was just forgotten.
The book was so-so as a story.  The movie was a bad retelling of Romeo and Juliette in places.
The book made the Lycans into something that wasn't even a Werewolf-they just resembled them.  In fact, there was a point made in the book that they Were Not Werewolves (Wolf-human mixtures) but rather a life form that just resembled them.
At least in the movie, bad as it was, they were card-carrying Were's.
But then the only thing that the picture had in common with the book was the title.
The rest was just artsy-phartsy camera work with some euro-fashion clothing thrown in.
Why can't somebody make a decent Werewolf flick for a change?

Aki, Kyllein, I have a request.
  I can see that you both have read the book and have very good points about the characters and story line - both on its own and in comparison to the movie.
  If it's not too much to ask, could I get you to post your thoughts on the book in the following topic? It would be wonderful to get your input on it:

It's just that I appreciated what you both said about the book in this topic, And I was hoping others might get to read what you said if you posted your thoughts there too.

Hy,
I've seen the movie, it was amazing. So I decided to book the book for Christmas. But when I read the comments/not on here/ that the book is bad, the story is not about what it was in the movie. So I just want to know if you like or not the book. Why was it better than the movie...
Thank you in advance  (& sorry for my english)

Hey Sojna_Lucian, you may want to check out this topic:
http://forum.werewolfcafe.com/viewtopic.php?id=2436
We're focusing on the book there, whereas we're focusing on the movie in here. You might find a much better idea of the book (and if we liked it) in the other topic.
Personally, I'd recommend Benighted by Kit Whitfield over B&C, movie or no...


Oh - I just caught CatWolf's points on the book too!
Hey, CatWolf - would you be interested in posting your thoughts on the book in that other topic?

I have not read the book -- I did not know there was one -- and I really liked the film.  Finally, a were movie which is not a slasher and does not make the weres out to be monsters.

I just got to see that film today as one of my netflix rentals.  I thought it was nicely filmed. and the tranformation quite beautiful.  Great music. Awwww a love story! Really I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Amazing.

personally I thought it was horrible... but the chick looked like Jenny Garth

I thought it was quite enjoyable, myself. Definately different from the norm werewolf movie.
