swenneheim I would forbid her to watch this crap. She would not be taught girls are to be owned, diminished or bossed or pushed by men, men and everywhere men. Seriously, no one listens to a word Vivian says and then she gets blamed for lacking in info. Good... nice...blame the victim. Preach that to the daughters and sons and we might as well withdraw womens right to vote. Clearly they don't have a say in anything. This is not a question of feminist analysis (well actually it is), but the view on women in this movie belongs to the dark ages. And the worst thing about these kinds of films (the Twilight series is another example) is the way they try to dress themselves in some lightweight feminism, but here's a clue, it take more than a female protagonist. The female protagonist should also take action or stand her ground or.. just speak up. The moral of this story is when a girl says no she rally means yes, all it takes is some perseverance. And isn't that nice, isn't that really soooo 21st century and enlightened.

Hakari I think this movie was stupid all they did was take the characters out of the book than changed it to how they wanted it, the book is placed in the US and she ends up with Gabriel not the human I bought the movie and have only watched it once it sucked. I loved the book it has more of a plot than the movie did, only two of the wolves hunt humans and they die at the end of the book. the main set of the book is the girl trying to find herself and to prove she is like her father and can be an alpha. there's a lot of drama Gabriel is only in his early twenty's in the book where in the movie he looks in his thirty's or forties and her mother is really wild instead of non existent

izzy1235 The book that this movie is based on is actually a lot better then the movie. I do prefer the book over this movie. THe movie is completely different then the book. THey take place in two totally different places. I am not saying that i don't like the movie. i mean i do like it but I saw the movie before i knew there was a book and i have to say that the movie get basically everything wrong. So for the people that want a better plot line read the book. I do still watch the movie. i am watching the movies as i type this review on the movie. i shall try not to spoil any thing for or i hope not but even the ending are different in the book.

Paul Andrews Blood and Chocolate is set in Bucharest in Romania where nineteen year old Werewolf Vivian (Agnes Bruckner) lives with her aunt Astrid (Katja Riemann) who is also a Werewolf after fleeing Colorado in America ten years previously. A whole society of Werewolves live in Bucharest, the leader Gabriel (Oliver Martinez) has devised laws by which the Werewolf society must abide by, one such rule is that Gabriel must remarry every seven years & Vivian is next in line. However while out in Buchrest an American comic book artist named Aiden (Hugh Dancy) falls for her & ask's her out, Vivian eventually accepts & the two quickly fall in love. Gabriel gets wind of the relationship & orders his son Rafe (Bryan Dick) to scare Aiden off but in a fight Aiden kills Rafe with a silver amulet. Out for revenge Gabriel wants both Aiden & Vivian dead, working together to save their own lives Aiden & Vivian must try to find a way out of the city...This American, British, German & Romanian co-production was directed by Katja von Garnier & was based on the novel of the same name by Annette Curtis Klause which I have not read so I cannot directly compare the two but by all accounts the book is significantly different, to me this soft teen romantic drama fantasy was trying to be the new Twilight saga but with Werewolves instead of Vampires & it's just an all round weak effort. The script for Blood and Chocolate is flawed, for a start at almost an hour & forty minutes long it feels like it goes on forever & is just plain boring. The whole concept about a secret society of Werewolves living in Bucharest is alright but they are given no background whatsoever, how they escaped from Colorado to Bucharest, the laws that they live under are never gone into in any great detail & they are all very vague, the prophecy that says Gabriel has to marry every seven years is never given any reasoning & there's absolutely no purpose to it that I could see, the script doesn't quite know what it wants to be as it goes from supernatural fantasy to horror or teen drama to romantic love story without ever really satisfying or delivering as any of them. Bucharest seems almost deserted, apart from Vivian's love interest Aiden there are no other human character's at all & so it was hard for me to relate to anything I was seeing, the mythology of the Werewolf world that Blood and Chocolate tries to create leads to some very stiff dialogue scenes that are supposed to be dramatic & meaningful but they have no narrative impact & come across as ridiculous & surreal.I suspect that Blood and Chocolate was conceived as a teen friendly romantic fantasy horror but as a love story it's predictable (a mismatched couple's love for one another sees them through a bad situation), as a fantasy it's poor (when the Werewolves change they change in a bright flash of light into just a normal Wolf, for me I like my killer Werewolves to actually look like fearsome monsters rather than a rather tame looking Wolf) & because it's aimed at a teen audience there is no horror here & everything is very tame with no blood or gore & at the end Vivian & Aiden take time out to save three of the bad Werewolves from burning to death. Surprisingly short on special effects the ones present are OK but nothing great, the transformation scenes really do look silly despite the makers obviously trying to film them to look elegant. To be honest it's never really explained why the Werewolves actually need to change into Wolves, while still in human form they seem to have great strength & agility (lost of scenes of people hopping around & trying to look cool but coming off as looking silly) yet while as a Wolf they seem to have no great ability whatsoever & are obviously a lot more vulnerable.Released theatrically during January 2007 this was a box-office disaster taking in only just over two million dollars, actually filmed in Bucharest in Romania the film looks quite nice with fairly attractive Earthy looking colours throughout. The acting is poor, Agnes Bruckner looks bored, the two main villains look like they belong in boy bands & I suspect most of the actor's were cast due to their looks rather than their acting ability.Blood and Chocolate is a reasonably nice looking film with some striking locations but the horror is so diluted, the romance is so flat & sterile while the film as a whole is so predictable that I couldn't recommend it as I didn't think much of it myself. Trying to cash in on the success of the Twilight saga Blood and Chocolate is a poor relation in all respects.
