]Yeah. There were definitely some "cheezy" moments in the movie whic made it drop in my esteem, but think 4/5 is a reasonable estimate. I really just like the characters and the decor, as well as the dialogue. Effects... +/-. And there are some "Soul Calibur 2" fight scenes... it's was just TOO MUCH for me and poorly explained.Jason Am(brus) wrote:I did the review for it and I consider 4/5 in pretty damn high order. The movie's feel and pacing was dead-on for Ravenloft, as were the characters and the atmosphere. The only thing that kept it from being 5/5 (for me) were the slight discrepancies between the intrigue elements and the Hong Kong-style action.alhoon wrote:*mental note* Brotherhood of the wolf. . .
Hmmm In the reviews it got 4/5 why if it such a good movie?
I think what the director (C.Ganz) was attempting to create is an experiment between established period-piece French cinema, while blending a little Van Dam action into it and employing some music video cinematography. It almost felt like he was trying to show Hollywood "how its done". For the most part I believe he succeeded, but the experimental nature of BotW did make it feel disjointed at times (and unbelievably intense at others).
And I'm french and saw it in the original... I can just imagine in the translation. Or <shudder> the voiceover...
