How sad is this?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

but War Wolves wasn't necessarily a good movie in my opinion. Although I was dubious about seeing the film, I was intrigued and watched it with an open mind BEFORE reading any reviews of any kind. War Wolves did have some good points, namely the idea, which was interesting and had a lot of potential, and the performances of Adrienne Barbeau, Tim Thomerson and John Saxon were good with great chemistry. I also admired the fact that War Wolves did try to focus on action rather than dull filler. The action was nothing outstanding, it was enthusiastically performed if rather basic and hindered further by clumsy editing, but I have seen duller action sequences before. However, War Wolves also contains some of the worst-looking werewolves I've seen, the story is very all over the place and sluggish and the script is aimless, contrived and doesn't leave the actors much to work with. I have seen far more annoying and stereotypical characters, but I didn't find many of the characters very interesting, and this was disappointing considering that film had a concept this good. The ending felt very rushed and if given more time to breathe would've been less senseless. It was nice to hear Ave Maria, as it is a lovely song, but the way it was used here made it feel cheesy and thrown in. All in all, not a good movie, but I can think of worse ways to waste my time. 4/10 Bethany Cox

I got that in a 5$ bucket of DVD of a video store sale, having never watch it i tough 5$ was not too much considering the renting price of 4$ in much video store...So well, got it, watched it, and i was hoping for way better. Sure it was not all bad, it had decent stuff, but overall the biggest problem of this movie is that the story seem to search badly for its plot... if that make sense. I remember people saying Alone in the Dark(2005) had an unclear story but this one is way worst. Its like "there is the goodies who want to remain good and the baddies who want to be bad and that cover much of it but you never get anything more about there motive or anything. Overall they all get infected at war in afghan, then they are back home and you never know anything much except that Jake try to control the beast and stay good, and Erika for never mentioned reason want to be evil and want Jake to join them. Add the 2 wolvies hunter that want to kill them because there are wolves... and here you got, you got the story. But its poorly written, leaves lot of plot holes or stuff never explained. Well its disappointing.At least the chicks are hot. The fights scene are weird a little bit, they try to show werewolves power in fights "wired style martial arts" and even tough they are not bad(but not great) they tend to come out weird as completely not matching the plot.Honestly i could go on about things not being understand, or weirdly done, but the truth is i didn't watch time during it, like i do when the movie truly bore me... i couldn't say i was chill up and all, but that was OK for me. I would say in a way it remind me of Thralls(aka Blood Angels) also with Siri Baruc, but this one even being cheesy vampire stuff, had a clear story. The babes where hot, i liked the setting and thats why i got the DVD in my collection and watch it sometimes. But this one... probably gonna go at the pawnshop for 1$...

I've watched many horror movies over the years. I especially loved werewolf movies. Remember Lon Chaney? Forgive me if I've spelled his name incorrectly, this movie was so bad I didn't have the energy to make sure my spelling is correct. I've not written a review before, but felt, as a responsible adult I had to warn the world out there of this....film. I shudder to use film in juxtaposition with this drivel. John Saxon and Adrienne Barbeau have never been known for their Oscars but they've hit new lows with this flick. The music is the only thing I enjoyed about it, and even then I would not have gone out to buy the CD. There have been other horrors made using a war as a basis for a horror tale. I won't name any of them as it would be an insult to bad movies everywhere. Does this little essay contain spoilers? Commenting on it is a spoiler. Do not waste your time renting or watching it. The only reason my wife and I watched it all is that we were foolish enough to rent it. I pray I've saved some folks from a fate worse than death. I'd have given it a zero, but 1 is the best I could do. If you watch it in spite of the warning, don't blame me. It doesn't even reach cult status.

I am not one to often leave comments for films but if you are toying with the idea to sit through this god awful movie, my advice is don't. The acting is so poor and laughable,the characters are very 2 dimensional. The "matrix" style fight scenes are a severely poor rip off from the aforementioned. When it comes to the make up effects I could of done a better job the actors looked like hairless pooches with rather large ears. The plot was an absolute farce with as much depth as a kiddies paddling pool. If you want to waste an hour and half of your life then go ahead watch this movie but if you value every minute of your life avoid like the plague.I like to think I watched this so you the reader doesn't have to. I don't know if there is another version of this movie but the people giving it descent reviews almost certainly could not have watched the same movie as I did.
