This movie is about young Vivian, a werewolf who falls in love with Aiden (Hugh Dancy), a graphic novel writer/illustrator. What seemed to attract her the most to him was the fact his next book was about the “loup-garoux,” which were a pack of werewolves that were once respected leaders in Europe. Unbeknownst to Aiden, it also happened to be the same pack that Vivian belonged to. Conflict arises when the leader of the pack, Gabriel (Olivier Martinez), finds out about her human lover, posing a problem for him since she was destined to become his next mate. Soon things begin to unfold that would test her love and loyalty, and she is left with a decision she must make: follow the pack and fulfill her destiny or follow her heart and true love.
This movie had a very well written storyline. The only thing that fell short was time. This film could have easily gripped its audiences with a little more character development by slowing down the story. It felt as if I was being fast-forwarded through this beautiful legend, and it left me feeling a little ripped off. The romance between the main character and her love was so quick that the audience could not really see or experience the chemistry between them. I am glad, on the other hand, at the fact this movie used actual evidence of the legend to make it as realistic and believable as possible.
My final thoughts? Even though the movie was rushed the fact that the actual legend was addressed tickled my fancy (and so did Dancy - LoL).
