Good idea lost in the noise

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

For some reason then I had actively been avoiding "Two Brothers" (aka "Deux Frères"). Why? Well, I had been under the assumption that it was a children's movie, given the DVD cover.But I sat down to watch the movie one evening, and it turned out that this was actually a rather nice surprise of a movie. Because it was a beautifully shot movie in many ways - from the cinematography, to the setting of the movie, to the two majestic tigers that starred in it.Storywise, then briefly summarized it is about two tiger cubs taken from their mother. They are parted and brought up very differently, one having a life of hardships and cruelty at the hands of circus people, while the other is pampered at the hands of a rich family, serving as an exotic pet."Two Brothers" is a movie that is fully wholesome, and watchable for the entire family, kids and adults alike. It is the type of movie that has a bit of something for just about everybody. There is action, there is sadness, there is joy, there is excitement, there are majestic animals, there are friendships between different species.I was especially impressed with how they had trained the tigers, because they were performing quite well.This was a nice surprise of a movie that actually proved worth sitting down to watch. It is quite suitable for an evenings worth of family entertainment.As for my vote, well, I am rating "Two Brothers" a seven out of ten stars.

This movie was being advertised on children's networks, such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network so me, my mother, and my sister decided to go see it, thinking it was going to be a cute movie about two tigers.It wasn't, suffice to say. My family was so horrified that we almost walked out and asked for our money back. I remember almost sobbing in the theater.I'm sure now that I'm older it's a fantastic movie, but when I was little it pretty much traumatized me. I will never watch it again. This is not a movie for people under 18.

Beatifuly shot film with an important message. Two brothers is a story about two infant tigers who become separated when their mother is killed by a hunter.Kumal is the more aggressive and Sangha is the quiet one.And towards the end of the film the cubs personalities reverse. Kumal gets put in a circus and has his spirit knocked out of him,whereas Sangha grows up in a house with a kind little boy only to find he out grows the house and ends up put into another type of circus.By this point he has become a true fighter and is fearless. When they are almost fully grown they are cruelly pitted against each other in a Gladiator style arena where they are to fight to the death.At first they don't recognise each other and they start to fight,then suddenly they make eye contact smell each other and realise they are brothers. They then escape from the arena and make their way back to the jungle and eventually the ending is a happy one. I think this film is suitable for all ages and has some very beautiful moments such as when Sangha as a young cub sits on the little boys toy shelf and makes himself look like one of the toys.The film has many moments like this. Man is clearly the enemy in this film as tigers have been hunted to near extinction,at the end of the film there's some credits that tell us that in the 1900's there were 100,000 tigers in the world,now days there are less than 5000 and they are getting fewer,some species of tiger are already extinct. I hope that the message of this film will get people to help save this magnificent endangered animal.

Superb. I had to give my girlfriend a bowl because she said the cubs were so cute she felt sick.A really heart warming story of 2 baby tigers who get separated when they are young and grow up in 2 different environments. Guy Pierce plays a great role and works excellently with the cubs. One grows up as a pet and another in a circus. One is very docile and shy, whereas the other is very outgoing and boisterous. There is a great scene where they want to cross the river but don't want to get wet. So they jump onto the backs of tortoises and wait for them to walk across the river. Unfortunately one gets stuck in the middle of the river and the other falls off. Classic scenes like this are all the way throughout.Later in the film my favorite scene is where the hungry tigers find a lorry with some food on it and hijack it. And while eating all the meat one starts pressing his paw on the horn and beeping all the people running away. You laugh so hard you are on the verge of tears.Its not only a family film but one for all age groups. I don't normally buy DVD's but I bought this as soon as I saw it. It can be seen over and over again, and still be as funny and touching.
