Review of Wolfhound

Wolfhound (2006)
4/10
Awful adaption to the big screen of an outstanding book
6 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The actor does not reflect the hero from the book, it's a weak, stupid guy. Instead in the book you can compare Volkodav with a warlord... he is like a mad dog that wont give a step back even if a hundred of wolfs are in front of him.

There are a lot, A LOT of missing things... but well it's acceptable in the movies. The unacceptable is to change the whole story, landscapes, characters, etc.

Another point to reconsider seriously are the special effects... in Russia there are a lot of talented people to do something on the Hollywood level, and in this movie they should do a better effort.

Fights... It's disgusting to see people fighting in this movie. I like all kinds of fights without fire arms, there are a lot of movies with good fights out there. Good moves, synchronized and fluent... here you'll find a lot of changing very fast bad pictures.

There is magic in the book, but NOT so absurd magic like in the movie. The wing of the bat is healed with magic... so what for the needles was bought?

I'm a fan of the book, I loved to read it, and I am very ashamed with this movie... horrible.

I recommend to read the book and to understand that the movie should be on the LOTR level.
