Red Riding Hood

Why did I stop watching this after 30 minutes?

Premise

Because the tone of the movie was muddled. It was supposed to be a fairy-tale setting, yet it looked silly…it looked like a low-budget set of a fairy-tale village. And then there was talk of a Father and, worse, the Father character appeared. Yup, a fairy tale with Christianity. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?!

Character

Because the lovely and talented Amanda Seyfried was the main character, yet she didn’t do anything.

Structure/Plot and Logic

Because the story insulted my intelligence when the villagers easily killed the wolf and thought their ordeal was over…they really thought the wolf that had been terrorizing them for 20 years and to which they offered animals to placate it could have been captured so easily. And they had never before tried to capture it. Ugh.
