I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I wasn't going to write a review of this movie. Then I saw the scene at the out lying hotel/motel. Give me a break. Werewolves that also think, talk, and use weapons? Come on at least stick to the commonality of the stereotypes. You get three female soldiers who get the bug from the Arabs and come back to the US to feed(?). They embrace the the bad and use it to beat up the guys. Talk about reverse misogyny!!!! But then I guess it is about time huh? The good/bad guy with the bug that doesn't take over is eating raw meat and downing hard stuff by the bottle. Adrienne Barbeau's character is the most well developed of the whole movie. She seems to not really know what is up but as the movie progresses her little snippets of insights and lore is the high points of the show.

I usually watch SyFy movies on weekends while editing video. More often than not they are easy to walk away from when I need to concentrate on my work or turn off the audio. Plots are template driven, characters are stock, effects are cheesy and you don't need a big screen plasma to laugh at them.WAR WOLVES departs from the formula in several ways and I liked it a lot more than I expected to. Seeing John, Tim and Adrienne was a treat. Somebody cared enough to set up some nice atmosphere in several scenes such as the bar confrontation early on and understood the visual power of "magic hour" lighting. Some key characters had mysterious backgrounds, although this may not have been intentional. The formula and template was there but the stock characters were a little less "stock" than many shows where everyone is snack food for the big CGI or puppet monster.This thing was shot in Inverness, California according to IMDb and I think they drew from LA for a decent crew and attempted a decent production design on a shoestring budget. They apparently spent more on cast and less on fake blood and needless explosions or maybe the director called in some favors.Nobody turns on SyFy expecting OTHELLO, but WAR WOLVES was striving to be TERMINATOR or SWAMP THING and deserves credit. I would love to see them try it again with a 10x budget and I betcha the continuity, plot holes and bad makeup and cheesy fight scenes could be patched right up!

This movie is like the AMPM stores. Ever seen the commercials for it? Like the store this movie has TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF. Where do I begin? Let's see... Great acting, incredible and deep dialog, unique and interesting characters, a neat surprise ending, unexpected scares, smokin' hot female werewolves (suck it, Twilight!), etc. Michael Worth was the writer for Sasquatch Mountain which had just as much memorable dialog as War Wolves. May I just say that the creative title War Wolves alone is enough to intrigue me. This movie is one of the best werewolf films I have ever seen. Everything in the film just came together so well, I could not have asked for a better result. This movie is going down as a favorite for me!

I used to think i was a sci-fi geek, but watching the movies on the sci-fi channel has proved me wrong. I'm starting to hate sci-fi. It's amazing to me that this channel continues to succeed. Nearly every movie they show is of low quality(either technically or artistically, and often times both) Such is the case with this particular werewolf movie. the effects are poor, and the acting is laughable. The story never caught my interest. The best i can give this movie is a 2 out of ten. Somehow that seems generous.I just wish that the sci-fi channel would be a little more critical of the material they show.
