I was dragged to see this movie, the people I was with refused to see any good films. They wanted to see either this or The Beast, and both choices sounded awful. Everything about this movie is terrible, the plot, the acting, and the pacing. Don't see this film, please.

Beautiful picture, interesting soundtrack but just kinda cheesy...

I think I preferred the re-imagined story in the movie as opposed to the original.

good movie 10 out of 10

Better acting and directing could have done a big difference.

Very stylish film with no substance.

Red Riding Hood is awful. It's not scary, I didn't care about anyone, the romance failed, there was no atmosphere, it didn't know what it wanted to do in each scene, and two little kids killed a bunny! (And more importantly, I fixated on that because thinking about the motivation behind it -- which, by the way, makes no sense later on -- was more interesting than anything else in the film.) I don't think you can get more horrific than that.

I was told this movie was going to completely suck. So going into this film I had very low expectations. I was pretty surprised. Amanda Seyfried plays the part of Valerie (or Red Riding Hood). A death in her village rekindles the fear that the big bad wolf is back. The town is in complete lock down as Gary Oldman tries to ascertain which of the villagers is the wolf in hiding. Is it the nice grandma? The shady boyfriend? This movie will keep you guessing. Loved the use of color in this movi

Moody in a good way.

I actually truly enjoyed watching this movie. I found it to be an artsy take on something between murder mystery and a fairytale nightmare. Yes, the relationships in this movie are... odd. Like many of the reviews said, there was a lot of strange sexual tension where there should not have been. If you look at it as a mystery, it was quite good. I was kept wondering who the werewolf was till the end. I thought the beauty of the imaginary world was well done, but the acting was poor.

3+ might want to skip this one

This is AWFUL.

Not even Gary Oldman could save this one.

#12#, popcorn, hype, story, (Amanda S/6-3, G Oldman/4-2)

An aggressively terrible film. Blog quality writing, high school quality acting, ludicrously awful direction. Hardwicke can't even manage B movie quality, crafting something so awful that its only redemptive quality stems from how ripe it is for mockery. Unless Rifftrax gets around to eviscerating this, I would give this one a wide berth.

Twilight Twilight everywhere... Just couldn't unsee the resemblance of certain episodes. Acting was kinda shitty, Amanda Seyfield and Gary Oldman were okay, but the rest... Seriously guys, seriously.... I even lost track of how many times I rolled my eyes while watching XD

I liked the thorn forest and village made from the same woods. If you want to see really good teenage dream story, well done special effects and nice score, check instead Katy Perry's E.T. video clip.

"Reimagining" = Hollywood term meaning what you're about to experience will cause intestinal distress, anger, vomiting and nausea, all while making you believe what you're watching is something more relevant than a $100 million lacquered turd.

I thought it was better than expected, up until a certain point, and then it just became stupid and shitty. Honestly, quite a bit of it is pretty decent, with good art design, and decent performances. Sometimes the script is wonky, but that's forgivable in the beginning. But then maybe the last half hour or a little bit more, the movie tanks really badly and I just can't bring myself to recommend it. It ends up not satisfying you.

walking out of the theater knowing I had just wasted an hour and a half of my life watching one of the worst films I have ever seen was definitely worse than even the arrival of the end credits.

I was digging this quite a bit actually until the last 20-ish minutes. Great costume and art design, a relatively-mundane script, but another example of convention done fairly well. But oh God, the ending. So fucking terrible. No fault to the actors, just, really pisspoor writing. So there's ups and downs. The ups of course once again include the character portrayed by Ms. Seyfried (Y'know what, say what you will, but she's underrated.) The downs of course are headlined by the God-awful ending.

Too bad Hardwicke didn't adapt The Scarlet Letter -- better yet, she could have transformed the asinine Easy A.

I think this is basically "The Village" all over again with a little bit different ending.

Weak premise, and it really feels like they just said, 'hey, Twilight's selling big, let's create the same kind of "brooding stranger with unknown past and odd powers that a girl falls in love with" as a story. It's bound to be a hit!' ... I'm so glad it wasn't. Oldman was the bright spot in this movie, and about the only one.

The only thing that I liked the most was the song at the end of the movie. That's all

Contrary to other people, I actually liked the end the best. It's still terrible, but at least it was remotely connected to the tale, unlike the rest. Hardwicke, I don't know what to say. You aren't a talented director. In fact, you have no talent whatsoever. Perhaps you should take up painting. At least spare us from future atrocities like this one. Thanks. The soundtrack was OK, and Oldman was effortlessly acceptable. Unfortunately, the few good qualities are drowned in mounds of incompetence.

Ugghhh. Why?

nice looking scenery and great aesthetics in conjunction with a spooky-ish atmosphere and damn good music sets this up to be a pretty decent flick. unfortunately it's like a really good looking sandwich only to take a bite and find it's filled with sand. the movie goes nowhere, and goes there so fast it's appalling. nothing in here turns out good, it just ends up dragging on and on. oh yeah, and there's a cameo of a werewolf in it.

There were a few moments that were not horrible, but the rest was pretty much a mess of what could have been. Seyfried does a decent job, but I have seen better from her. Oldman comes in and goes over the top, but even this was effortless for him. The rest of the time I was left with eery scenes featuring Grandmother and odd sexual tension scenes between Seyfried and the two men who played her love interests. Just did not have enough to be a good film.

Bad movie

Between Twilight and a Who-Done-It Crime-Thriller.

pesima!!!
