Brotherhood of the Wolf

"I would be lying if I did not admit that this is all, in its absurd and overheated way, entertaining (…) 'The Brotherhood of the Wolf' looks just great (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"'Brotherhood' pulls you along because Mr. Gans is so eager to please and crams so much onto the table; it groans under the weight of his genre-crashing buffet and finally collapses" 

"Pic borrows from many genres but infuses the hybrid with a distinctive, relentlessly flashy style that’s sure to appeal to auds raised on computer games and tailored to delight the legions of nerds who support horror, fantasy and sci-fi pics" 

"It provides glorious escapism without asking you to turn your brain off" 

"There are eight or nine films here, all spliced to form what plays out like a 'Final Fantasy' game held together by slip-shod politics and spirituality (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"The movie has something in it to appeal to just about everyone (...) [It] is daring in its approach and successful in its result (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Its deftly executed action scenes and skillfully engineered moments of suspense stand out (...) [It] may be the most ambitious action film since 'The Matrix'" 

"Gans has given us an exhilarating ride with this stylish period thriller, which is everything that Tim Burton's 'Sleepy Hollow' was supposed to be, but wasn't"
