Crystal Gonzales This movie reminds me of 'A Knight's Tale'. It is terrible. Unfortunately I have not not seen all of 'A Knight's Tale' and so I cannot really say what I think of it. I got a copy out of interest and every time I have played it, I've had to turn it off a few minutes later. I find it that bad. This movie made me feel the same way.It was hard but, I stuck through this and I was disappointed from the start. I wonder if this movie was trying to be funny, 'cause it was cheesy as hell. I knew it would be bad in the first few minutes and I thought maybe it would get better but, it never did. Plot holes like crazy! One person said that different people threw in different stories and perhaps that was the reason. I do give this three stars because I saw an interview for the director after this film, though I was burnt out by then, and he seemed to care about what he did. I feel that he had good intentions for his work, though this film was just a train wreck. I am guessing he knew what he wanted to do and just could not pull it together. I don't see how these people find funding for their films.

Dan Mihai Really, where are the aliens? Aliens are the only ones missing from the movie. Almost everything else is present.This is a failure to copy the Hollywood action movie style. But from a french director. Why not stick to the original story and let out all the commercial crap while focusing on making something original? Because it had everything needed for this including a more than decent budget. More than this, I think the director wanted to make like 3 movies and in the end decided to put them together and voila: Le Pacte des Loups, a 2 hours and a half movie full of ... everything, martial arts, sex, ninja, wolves, history, fiction, mystery, drama tragedy and aliens. Ah, sorry, no aliens. As a conclusion, the movie is not that bad, I am just intrigued about how they destroyed the movie adding so much stupid and unnecessary things in it when they had the means to create something good or at least worth to watch for an adult.

G K The film has its goofy side - it's a sleek, creepily atmospheric popcorn entertainment. In 18th century France, King Louis XIV sends a naturalist (Samuel Le Bihan) to a rural area to catch a savage, wolf-like beast that has been killing women and children.Brotherhood Of The Wolf is an extravagant, superficial fantasy that does not take itself too seriously. A knowing mish-mash of styles, it incorporates martial arts, comic book imagery, and sequences that would not look misplaced in classic horror films. Still, it's fun on its own limited terms. The film is the second-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States in the last two decades (this film also did brisk video and DVD sales in the United States).

samkan I ordered this film based on my discovery of its history (Wikipedia linked the film). I figured it was an interesting story and the makers would have an easy time making an interesting film. Boy was I in for a letdown! TBOTW does do a good job with the French "politics" involved. The scenery photography and costumes are top notch. The French culture of manners; e.g., dinner behavior, is also done well. But the subplots are overheated and obnoxious. Our Lone Ranger hero's Tonto is an American Indian who somehow learned kung fu and is the proverbial, stereotypical noble savage. Cheesecake, T&A, etc., is serviced by ridiculous and lengthy bordello episodes. I couldn't learn to like our hero, painted as "James Bond" cool. For that part, few actors seem to know what direction to take. If moody Vincent Cassal had taken the lead part TBOTW may have been better.
