Red Riding Hood

Twilight, But No Vampires

Strengths

1) Imagery- One thing that Catherine Hardwicke films excel at is their imagery... Red Riding Hood is no exception to that rule...Looking solely at the poster you can see the beautiful color contrasts

2) Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried are the only reasons people saw this movie and should see this movie...their acting is well rounded with the given script

3) Always keeps you guessing who the real werewolf is.

Weaknesses

1) Catherine Hardwicke as a director!

2) Historical inaccuracies... even though it is a fairy tale the movie could have still held strong to some cultural and historical truths...often times non-fiction is much scarier than fiction, e.g. the use of the Brazen Bull, well elephant in this case, upsetting but effect and historically sound to use

3) The hair! WTF what poverty stricken village pre-17th century used hair product? If you are going to make it modern keep it all modern if you are going to keep it historical then keep it historical! No one should have a fo-hawk in this movie but there are like 5!

4) CGI problems, the wolf was way too CGI obvious... There have been successful creations of CGI werewolves before, i.e. Wolfman... but I think that they made it obviously fake looking to allow younger audiences to come in who liked Twilight.

Most Offensive Hair-Do in the Film

Really? Really! This it totally historically accurate!
