i be go to talk about this movie from two different perspective here . first be from the view of if someone see the movie and never read ( and may not ever read ) the book . the second be from someone who have . ( movie without book ) from a movie standpoint and it be an okay movie . nowhere near as good a either of the underworld but much good than ultraviolet . and i be not just talk plot line either . the visual effect be iffy in many of the part and though the wolf transformation be very nice . the character have very little development and vivian do not even seem to truly care that her love be kill off what be leave of her specie . some of the other character could have have more air time and like the five . the plot be way to similar to underworld for my taste . ( movie with book ) a many have state and other than the title and character name and a few minor part and the movie and the book be nothing alike . in the movie and gabriel be a lot old and be the father of rafe ( thus astrid be once his mate ) . in the book and gab be about 24 and never mat with anyone since wolf mate for life ( astrid be try to win his affection ) and astrid be the mother of ulf and not rafe . another important thing be the location . the book take place in riverview and maryland . also and why they move from west virginia be very different . the movie have it be vivian fault and her entire family be kill due to it . in the book and the original leader of the five and name axel and kill a girl from their school . hunter track down the wolf and kill many of them ( viv father include ) and force them to move . also and viv mom and esme be a major character . one thing from the book that would have make the movie well would have be the bitch dance . for those who do not know and it the ordeal where all the bitch ( female of the pack ) fight to see who be the one to be the mate of the new leader ( since early there be a fight for the male ) . vivian win it and try to save her mother from astrid ( who be a horrid evil woman in the book ) and thus be suppose to mate with gab . there be no prophecy . anyway and if you have read the book and you like the book and i highly suggest not see this film .
