Wolfhound

SAME INCREDIBLE FEELING AS WATCHING LORD OF THE RINGS!
IGNORE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! THEY ARE MOSTLY FOR THE WRONG MOVIE WITH THE SAME TITLE (some werewolf movie) - I am telling you this 'WOLFHOUND' movie is simply INCREDIBLE!!! There are so many people who would LOVE this movie IF they just watched it! I'm a big fantasy movie fan (Lord of The Rings are my favorite movies of all time) and I have to say that the same powerful feeling of being swept away both imaginatively and emotionally while watching LOTR can be found in this epic fantasy masterpiece as well! It's that powerful! This was such an astounding movie experience that I just HAD to get on here and set the record straight! Fantasy movie fans (AND FANS OF 'GREAT MOVIES' IN GENERAL) cannot afford to miss this movie! Negative comments about the special effects are COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED! Most of the special effects are JUST AS GOOD AS LORD OF THE RINGS! That may sound like a stretch but this movie had a huge budget and employed the greatest craftsmen in Russia and beyond. The CGI work...

Excellent Russian entry into fantasy
While the cover may promise CONAN and LORD OF THE RINGS, fantasy fans will find a lot of unique elements in Wolfhound beyond those two seminal series. What keeps bringing me back to this film is the imaginative look at early Russian Mythology, particularly the benign gods and how Volkodav (Wolfhound) uses the elements of Good and the Light to defeat the darkness.

Playing Wolfhound is Russian actor Aleksandr Bukharov who invests his brooding protagonist with some very primal realism. The fact his sidekick is a pet bat doesn't hurt.

While the story is something we've seen before, the unique way its told makes it fresh and new.

It takes a lot for me engage in a double dip purchase, but Wolfhound is one of those I am glad to buy again.

If you're into High Fantasy and appreciate unique twists on good vs. evil, you'll enjoy Wolfhound.

Russian Wolfhound....really great movie
You really don't know what to expect in this movie. 1st, the English dubbing is just great so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.

This movie is well written & directed, and a pleasure to watch. There's plenty of small details that become important and the ending is great. The choreography is terrific. The specials effects were just right. This one is worth owning since you'll enjoy watching it again and it's done differently enough from other things you might've seen to capture your attention. You'll recognize pieces of other plots of other movies you might've seen like Conan, but the way it's put together, it just flows. Great entertainment and unique! Just when think the movie has ended, it gets better and doesn't disappoint.

I'll not spoil it with details, but if you like medieval type movies with just a touch of magic thrown in here and there to make things interesting, then buy this one. You'll be glad you did. This one rates at the top for us.
