Red Riding Hood
Mar. 11th, 2011 10:05 pmLasting Conclusion:
I wanna get a bunch of SCAdians drunk and MST3k the utter shyte outta it.
It was very... bland. Werewolf very VERY pretty, there are nice nods to the various Little Red Riding Hood mythos, and someone has done their werewolf research, although some of it was kinda o_0?
Such as the 'party' scene in the middle, where their version of Medieval style dancing looks like a bad acid trip. I seriously thought that the lead singer for it was a scarecrow they were going to burn for about a minute. And weird horns.
-Did I mention it looks like an acid trip?
Personally, the whole thing was made better by realising that Henry, the romantic rival, was basically Saguru. Stick Ran as... um. I forget her name. Little Red Riding Hood, and Peter as Shin'ichi, and it's a pretty epically awesome Detective Conan AU. The ending does nothing to dispel this.
-Nice twist on the end, BTW, even if it was a bit of a cliche.
Personally, on an artistic scale, I wish they'd gone more Burton-eque. Say what you will about the man, he knows how to paint a scene in colours. They do real well in some scenes, but could use some work in others.
But, as I told Elinor, I didn't go in expecting a good movie, and didn't leave disappointed. ^__^ Werewolf Pretty!!! <3
