There was something lacking.

Ich mag sie einfach nicht, weil sich mir die Nackenhaare aufstellen, wenn ich ihr kaltes, ausdrucksloses Gesicht sehe. Sorry. Das mussten in dem Film dann Hugh Dancy, Agnes Bruckner und Olivier Martinez ausgleichen, die fand ich nämlich alle gut. ;) Die 'Werwölfe in Bukarest'-Story war okay, wenn ich auch die Wölfe an sich etwas enttäuschend fand.

This isn't at all like the book; so my advice: if you don't like movies changing the book's story, do NOT watch this one. However, I always try to judge it as a movie instead of how it represented the book. And on its own, and even compared to the book, I really liked this! Some of the characters I hated in the book I loved in this (ie: Aiden, he wasn't a pansy at all in this!) and yet I really hated some of the characters that I loved in the book (ie: Gabriel. Just not threatening.) I do wish they had kept Esme however, I really loved her character and was sad that she wasn't there. And I was kind of unsure about its setting here; wasn't the book in America? Interesting setting, of course, but not the same! But overall, this movie is well made, and had mostly believable acting (I really loved the girl who played Vivian, she nailed the character!). My favorite parts were the chase scenes, which were intense and really fun to watch. I'm glad I watched this movie; a different (VERY different) but worthy companion to the book.

Decent, you don't get many good werewolf films. Nice graphics.

Could be better, could be worse. But the hunting wolves sent me shivers... :] I really am crazy about wolves ;)

This is the kind of werewolf flick that seems to have used up its entire special-effects budget on canine contact lenses.

A slapdash supernatural adventure-romance.

I found Blood and Chocolate to be a lovely surprise, an imaginative and visually lush picture firmly rooted in the tradition of gothic romance and elegiac horror films about misunderstood monsters.

The derivative and dim-witted Blood and Chocolate at least provides a practical metaphor for its own detrimental impact on cinema culture.

A movie itself caught between two worlds, a sweet and sour concoction that all adds up to a lot of nonsensical scenes in search of an idea.
