Wow a Werewolf film with 3-d characters...hmmm

Warning: Spoilers
This film managed to surprise me by having actually complex characters (well at least one, the Aunt Astrid), and a love story that develops without the use of T&A. All in all not bad, but watch out for the cheesy, 30-second, swan-dive, metamorphosis extravaganzas complete with angelic music--I cracked up laughing. Other than that, this was definitely one of the better ones in its' genre. Worth seeing ***Spoiler Warning*** There were only three main problems with the plot that I found issue with: 1. Gabriel (and Rafe for that matter) never saw the error(s) of his/(their) ways: I just think that the highly intelligent and supposedly ethical leader of such and old "people", would have had more experience with reevaluating his motives. Plus he didn't stick to his code of ethics by not attacking the human once he crossed the river. 2. Where the hell did the serum/antidote silver come from? I know that this is Bucharest and the werewolves were supposed to have been there for 5000 years, but who did it? the humans? the werewolves? 3. We know that Vivian never killed a human and just liked to "run free", so why were the hunters who killed her parents following her in the first place? Were they just wolf-hunting or what? She blames herself--as do the others when feeling spiteful--but something else had to have happened to bring the hunters around initially.
