Pros: Sounds bad when you break it down, but it works!
Cons: some hair styles, martial arts
I am about to do something that others disagree with here. I am going to slam the hell out of Brotherhood of the Wolf, and then I'm going to give it 5 stars and recommend it very highly. I'll explain eventually...

Pros: Everything (well, except the chain-sword thing).
Cons: The chain-sword thing.
If ‘The Brotherhood of the Wolf’ were a basketball team, you’d have to throw it away (or at least make it run a lot of laps). It telegraphs almost all its moves. Even though it is somewhere in the general category of a...

by xxxxer  in Movies, - Top 500, May 10 '02
Pros: Stylish photography; beautiful settings and scenery; good effects
Cons: A bit overlong and confusing towards the end
What is it about foreign films that make them so good?
Could it be that the directors of foreign films are more talented? Perhaps the cast members are more regularly classically trained. Maybe the scriptwriting is better. Whatever the case...

Pros: Adventure with excellent surprises.
Cons: Over the top.
French films are slow to get to West Texas. So when, on my visit to my friend's town, my fellow epinionator and good friend Mike.Holmes suggested that we go to see a movie called Brotherhood of the Wolf a few days ago, we both (a) knew it had been...

Pros: Original story, Samuel Le Bihan, breath-taking scenery...
Cons: For some subtitles, I suspect ...
a.k.a. Le Pacte des loups
Language: French with English subtitles.
Enter the village of Gevaudan, France in 1766. People are disappearing at an alarming rate, only to have their mangled bodies found later. There is...

Pros: A significant, mysterious historical event in a beautiful film. Location shooting in the French Countryside.
Cons: The forward motion of the film is continually arrested by gratuitous, incongruous kung fu scenes.
Good evening. My name is [CENSORED], the French director. You remember, no doubt, my first film, SILVER SLIME, from the year 1981. No? How sad! I have made few films, of course. CRYING FREEDOM, my last film, was difficult to market in America. Many...

Pros: Several cool action sequences, and a stunning visual style.
Cons: Drags a bit here and there. Some of the FX are a bit ragged.
Wild, beautiful to look at, and unabashedly wacky, Brotherhood of the Wolf is proof positive that Hollywood doesn't own exclusive rights to the "Enjoyable B-Movie".
French director Christophe Gans (Crying Freeman,...

The Brotherhood of the Wolf (Le Pacte des Loups) Directed by Christophe Gans (2001) In the year 1764 the area of Gevaudan France was visited with a beast of extraordinary cunning that killed over a hundred people in just three ...

by grimjack2 - Top 500, Jan 20 '02
Pros: Great cinematography. Some creepy scenes.
Cons: Not too original. Poor editing. Slower paced than it should be.
I’m glad that they translated the film’s title into English. If they left it in French and let the film play throughout the art houses across the country, this film would’ve been a big surprise to a lot of people who are used to a different type of...

Pros: EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!!!
Cons: Plot drags.
Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes. In fear, slow paced motion reveals a women, peasant style, pretty falling down a hill. Fear, her eyes gleam with it. She doesn’t have to yell. You know she is running from something. She seems too slip on a cliff, grabbing to...

by dashblast , Feb 11 '02
Pros: Very racy and artistic. Nice blend of action and compassion.
Cons: Subtitles. The duration was way too long.
I was actually dragged into Brotherhood of the Wolf (le Pacte des Loups). I had no desire to see it, and I had no idea what it was even about. I thought it was some dumb action movie. I had no idea that it was French and the whole entire thing was...

by ALawston , Dec 11 '01
Pros: Pretty camerawork, stylish fights, and a solid philosophical base.
Cons: Too long, ropey CGI.
It's been a couple of months since Brotherhood of the Wolf enjoyed its brief bloom in British cinemas, surfing the wave of Francophilia that followed the release of Amélie. And what an odd film it was, introducing the superstitions of the...

Pros: scenery, cinematography
Cons: editing, too long, boring, cliches
A woman is screaming while running through an open field. We see her thrown into the air as she is being violently shredded against the rough terrain. The anticipation of a great foreign tale of an evil creature destroying the town's population...

by wizguy , Oct 16 '02
Pros: Cinematography, CGI, French landscape, elaborate set and costume design.
Cons: Unfocused story telling, bad editing of close combat, abuse of slow motion.
A few useless words from the writer:
This review is created with the intent to help those who have not seen the movie to make a decision. Therefore, you will not find plot descriptions that I believe will give away too much. Since I have...

by matthos , Dec 05 '02
Pros: Cinematically gorgeous, incredible action sequences, scenery, costumes.
Cons: Cheeky dialog, inconsistent pacing.
It's been three days since I watched Brotherhood of the Wolf (BOTW) and it has refused to leave my mind. It even entered my dreams. Vivid, stylized action sequences that had me kicking a@# just like in the film.
It's hard to compare this movie...
