Okay, now, keep it brief, it you will...this is an exercise in succinctness.

I'll keep it pithy.


Pros- Great werewolves!The best horror/action flick since Aliens.

Cons- The beginning of the film is a little boring.



Great flick!

Positives - Good build-up, dynamite script, excellent visuals, good CGI and effects.

Negatives - Amateurish feel, more than one instance of "Aliens" rip-off, weak beginning, bleak actors.

Good points: just about everything; solid characters and performances, good effects, smart writing. All around one of the best werewolf films of recent times.

Not so good points: I find nothing bad about this film, I do think that it resembled several other films a little too much at times. Also, I did make some jokes about how top heavy the werewolves appeared; overall though they had a great look.

THE GOOD: The best looking werewolves I've ever seen.

THE BAD: I didn't like the military aspect. It kept me from identifying more with the characters. I also think better, creepier music would have helped add some "horror feel"...

THE UGLY: Very thick Scottish dialect...

I agree with McCoy and Jenna there was nothing bad about this film - yes it was a little bit amateur-ish but the guy clearly had a very low budget! I think he did an awesome job. And the humour was awesome - it had me in stitches!
Am a bit confused though - it wasn't really thick scottish, just one guy with a scottish accent! And if you thought that was difficult steer clear of "Trainspotting"!!! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I can't say I had any trouble with the accents in Dog Soldiers. Trainspotting is one of my favorite movies (and also one of my favorite books btw), and yes, the accents there were much harder for me to understand.

Pro- Cool werewolves, some tension
Con-The soldiers don't seem vulnerable enough to make the conflict significant.
