I won't get it for the simple fact that they portrayed wolves incorrectly.

best thing I've seen this year (i know it's early still), can't wait for the blu-ray.

You're kidding right? I mean, it's just a movie. It's not a documentary.

No I'm not kidding, a little accuracy wouldn't hurt now would it? They got it all wrong, nothing was accurate.

Accuracy? It's a movie meant to entertain. If you're not interested in seeing it, that's fine. But, skipping it because it's not accurate enough seems ridiculous.

That's your opinion. I don't like to see animals shown in a somewhat negative light. Whether that is in real life or in a movie doesn't matter to me.

Loved this film, though the people in my theater didn't share the same opinion LOL. Normally, I don't like 99.9% bleak movies, but I was really taken by this film.

And, unless there was some tag somewhere that said "Based on a true story", I don't give a damn about the realism of the wolves. I'm not sure why people are picking on this movie, when there's plenty of attacking wolf movies before this one. Frozen comes to mind.

Hope the Blu-Ray has some good bonus features.

But wolves aren't bad ass and this movie isn't helping their reputation.

How you feel about this movie and wolves, is how I feel about almost every single movie involving sharks. They're always misrepresented but at the end of the day it's just a movie to me.

The Grey was a superb film IMO, to each their own though.

I've never heard anything so stupid in all my life.

Maybe the wolves should bring a class action libel lawsuit against the film-makers, you know, they have a reputation to uphold. LOL.

They are being eridicated in many areas of the world and portraying them as blood thirsty human hunters isn't helping their cause. You know what I meant, don't be a tool.

All this PC nonsense is killing all our entertainment. We can't have Russian bad guys, Arab bad guys, make jokes about homosexuals, show anyone or anything in a negative light... now we can't show wolves scavenging in the wild, which is what they do? How else to they eat? They kill things. And if they are hungry enough, I'm sure they have attacked humans before... it may not be the norm, but don't pretend like it's NEVER happened.

People need to lighten up and laugh now and then, and realize not everything is for a "cause". Sometime, it's just there to entertain. I'm pretty sure I could take most movies and find something about each one of them that's not realistic or accurate, but what's the point in that?

Oh, and don't watch "The Edge"... it might not portray bears correctly.

They don't kill people, they don't take revenge, and their food source is most plentiful during the time of snow.

LMAO! now that is funny.

But seriously though, I think True Blood portrays Vampires pretty well.

So a wolf has NEVER killed a human. Ever? Hmm.

Oops, kind of blows that theory out of the water.

So since we can prove wolves attach humans, we can also probably surmise they can take "revenge." If dogs exhibit revenge-like behavior, I'm sure wolves can, too.

Man, those Lycans get some shit from those Underworld movies...

Two things:

1. So just because they say the "f bomb" a lot of times means the dialogue is uncreative?

2. If you like to be happy while watching movies, you're missing out on a lot of great films.
