The Brotherhood of the Wolf DVD UNIV 204


The Brotherhood of the Wolf was not what I expected. I knew very little about it and had made my own judgments based on the fact that I knew it was 1) about Werewolves and 2) French. I had formulated an opinion that because it was French it would be a smarter better film than one about werewolves made in America. Wrong. I also assumed it would be about werewolves. Wrong again. Right off the bat I thought the movie was lame because the editor had slowed down the film so as to better see the crazy fight scene. But then I decided to stop being a snobby jerk and enjoy the movie. It was very entertaining and was a smarter than your average wolf/revenge of god movie. PLUS! Guess who plays the kick ass better than the stupid French Native American! Guess! THE CROW! That is right everyone who loved or pretended to love The Crow the TV series, Mark Dacascos has taken time out of his busy angsty schedule to help restore the balance between good and evil in 18th century France. All in all it was a good movie; it had good fight scenes and was deeper than your average mysterious beast slaughtering movies. I give it 3 out of 5.
