I love this movie, kept me guessing all the time
Bland main actors with the personality of a Photoshop picture (good supporting cast though), a few good ideas lost in a visual split personality, a few nice set pieces here and there! A film geek might get some bits and pieces out of it, but otherwise a complete waste of time (look out for a really bad attempt to be clever '#34;Peter and the Wolf'#34;, indeed my asshat!)...
Did anyone really expect this to be good? All I can say is that it was a pretty cape.
buena pelÃcula
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE IDC
Wolverine movie, really? Knowing this, I expected the same as each wolverine movie. A tragic love story …
Music was nice and some of the set pieces were acceptable; however, a confused mix of horror, thriller and romance that does not quite work. Including some decent acting in this it is a 6 out of 10 but no higher. Somewhat cold and lifeless as well.
I want my girlfriend to dress up as Red Riding Hood and stab me with a man'#39;s severed hand.
Too much romance for horror fans and too much horror for fans of romance, this film exists in a no man'#39;s (and no woman'#39;s) land, in the middle of a dark forest where it is its own big bad wolf.
even though a lot of people hate this movie, i love it very much.
Not even Gary Oldman can save this grim disaster.
Movie was mwa... 7 for Amanda playing in it!
Director Catherine Hardwicke attempts to Twilight the Grimm’s classic fairytale in Red Riding Hood. The story follows a small village that calls in the aid of a famed werewolf hunter to help them fight a werewolf that’s been attacking them; meanwhile a young woman plans to run off with her lover but has second thoughts when she begins to suspect that he may be the wolf. Starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, and Virginia Madsen, the film has a pretty solid cast, and Hardwicke does a good job at crafting a surrealistic visual style. However, the writing is rather poor; featuring all the usual genre tropes, one-dimensional characters, and a contrived love triangle. And the mystery of who is the wolf proves to be underwhelming. While Red Riding Hood presents an interesting new vision, it just doesn’t work.
Little Red Riding Hood for Twilight fans. So yeah it sucks.

This artistic masterpiece is unfortunately undervalued. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. Entertainment does not know its worth, and due to their lack of interest in it, it has become obscure. This artistic masterpiece must be revived again. Warner Bros. Entertainment must do this, just as 20th Century Fox did when it released two improved releases of the Titanic movie in 2003 and 2012. Who would believe that a movie released in 1997 is now available in 4K quality and 3D technology?! Warner Bros. Entertainment must re-release the movie trailer in 4K quality as a first step to correct its course, and launch a new strong marketing campaign for the Red Riding Hood movie, just as it launched a strong marketing campaign for the Barbie movie that does not deserve it. They should do this for the movie that deserves it, not the opposite. Essentially, the reason for the lack of fame of the Red Riding Hood movie was the failure of Warner Bros. Entertainment in its marketing campaign for the movie, as it was a very weak campaign, in addition to its excessive pursuit of the PG-13 age rating instead of accepting its R-rating, which led to changing the ending for the PG-13 rated cut. The reason was not the movie itself or the director Catherine Hardwicke. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke directed the movie in an unimaginable way, especially in the unrated original cut of the movie known as the Alternate Cut. The existence of a rated cut without additional terms such as (Alternate Cut) does not necessarily mean that it is the original cut. In fact, the original cut is the one that was not modified to fit the PG-13 age rating. The original cut is the one that was released as is without modifications. The original cut is the one that the MPAA did unrate, so you always find the word Unrated next to it. The original cut is the Alternate Cut, and it was not named Director's Cut because Warner Bros. Entertainment changed the ending of the PG-13 rated cut to fit the PG-13 age rating. Therefore, it is no longer possible to name the original cut as Director's Cut, as this title does not include the change in the ending. Therefore, they had to name the original cut as the Alternate Cut to include the change in the ending. As you know, production companies do not like the R-rating because it narrows the audience range, which reduces revenues. Therefore, Warner Bros. Entertainment pressured Catherine Hardwicke to modify the movie to be released with a PG-13 age rating instead of an R-rating. This explains why the ending was changed in the rated cut compared to the unrated original cut. In my opinion, both cuts are successful artistic masterpieces, but the original cut is more artistically successful, and I loved it more. My rating for the rated cut (modified) is 9/10, and my rating for the unrated original cut (Alternate Cut) is 10/10. It is the best and greatest of all time in presenting the story of Red Riding Hood, and no movie surpasses it in presenting this story. Thank you, Catherine Hardwicke, for this artistic masterpiece.

Hardwicke clones Twilight style on every way in this movie: photography, editing, dialogues, disconnected story telling and even the looks of the male hero. However, the script is interesting and keeps you hooked on not knowing what's going on until the end.
