Highly Overrated But Still Good

Awesome Movie

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film is a mixed bag of positives and negatives.On the good side: The scenery is spectacular! The photography often awesome. It's a basically interesting plot. Disney is one of the few film studios that apparently knows that the only Indians in North America were not Plains Indians! On the down side: The Native American girl -- who is actually Native American -- is just a little too beautiful. They left out the part with her going to the Native American beauty salon! But the real problem here is the script. At the beginning of the film the young man with the wolf companion are menaced by a bad guy...and that has nothing to do with the rest of the film. Then the young man -- a gold miner -- goes downriver and in the rapids loses his gold. Okay, that's cool. He is rescued by an Indian princess. Cool. Who has been sent to find a wolf her father had seen in a dream that would lead the tribe to the lost caribou -- a major source of food for the tribe, without which they have fallen on hard times. Okay, so you think that's the story you are about to see -- the dog and young man will lead the Indians to the caribou. But then the evil priest is menacing the Indians, and soon we find he is an illicit gold miner who has kidnapped Indian men who had been sent to find the caribou, and they are being forced under oppressive conditions to mine gold. Wait a minute...I'm feeling like I'm in an Indiana Jones film now (and believe me...in the mine sequences it does get quite Indiana Jones-ish). So now the dog and young man have to not only find the caribou (which they do, of course), but also rescue the Indians in the mine...all while also falling in love with the Indian princess, who gets kidnapped. Will Lassie...I mean White Fang...come to the rescue??? Will a small dynamite charge blow away a ridge of rock to allow the caribou to escape? Will Roy and Dale safely jump from a runaway wagon? And of course, Old Yeller...I mean White Fang...HAS to get injured. Will he survive? Just too much unrelated story. And then, as the film comes to a conclusion, would you believe the young lovers run into each others arms...and White Fang and a white female wolf run into each others paws. I kid you now. And who do we have to blame for all of this? Director Ken Olin, who proved he can destroy a television series through his poor directorial skills ("Brothers And Sisters").Having said all that, I'm not saying to not watch this film. It's fun, even if it's not very believable. And, there's some pretty good acting here...which saves the film. Scott Bairstow as quite good as the young man; Charmaine Craig quite good as the Indian princess. Al Harrington is good as the father of the princess, although why they couldn't use a real American Indian, I don't know. Anthony Ruivivar is very good as the young Indian brother, although, again, why they couldn't use a real American Indian for the role, I don't know. Alfred Molina is excellent as the bad guy. And Geoffrey Lewis -- one of the best character actors around -- is great, as always, although his role is not very substantial.So, sit back, suspend belief, and enjoy this romp...and curse Ken Olin while you're watching it...it could have been so much more.

White Fang 2 is a wonderful movie filled with fun and adventure. Henry Casey was a miner who was living a bachelor life in the wild. His only companion is a wolf dog named White Fang. Later, on a trip to cash in his gold, Henry meets a Native American tribe who believes he is a wolf. In this movie, Henry finds the courage in him and learns about what is truly valuable in life. I rate this movie a seven out of ten. It is a great family movie about courage and adventure. White Fang Two will leave you sighing happily. It is a great movie that can be watched again and again.

Spoiler alert A movie like this is an all time classic. It is a movie where an audience of any age can watch. This film represents a relationship between human and animal, and how it feels to have an animal companion. The main character in this movie has a quest to find himself and a goal in life. I think many people can relate to how the main character feels, even though they might not be able to relate to the specific situation. The main character in this movie is Henry Casey. He is a gold miner, living on his own with his wolf, White Fang. Henry was on his way to San Francisco to make more money and pursue a better job in the gold mining field. At this time, an Indian named Lily has vision about a wolf and the wolf's journey. This tribe is suffering food shortage because the caribou won't return. The wolf's job in her dream was to bring back the caribou. Lily goes on a journey to find this white wolf and bring him back to seek the caribou. Around this time, Henry and Lily cross paths. Henry fell overboard into the river and so did White Fang. Lily saw this, and what she saw was the wolf going under, and the man coming up. She thought this was the white wolf in her dream. She brought him back to her village and nursed him back to health. At first he rejected the idea of the journey and wanted to go back home. Later on, he agreed and started off this escapade with his wolf and Lily. Together, they went on a journey to find a way to bring back the caribou. Along the way, Henry found a place for himself. He felt a sense of need and he was able to help. Henry found out that gold was not all that glitters, and it was not all he needed. I think this movie is a good movie to show how people can be accomplished. It shows how things can be done and things can turn out for the best. It is a great movie for any occasion and a movie for any age audience.

White Fang 2Already the beginning causes you to grip your chair and gape as the movie pummels into an adventure. With lots of action and bits of humor this movie's great for the whole family. An intense conflict rumbles between the Indians and an enigmatic priest, who, unknown until the end for his true purpose, cons as a friend. How are the Indian's going to find their caribou? Who better to stop gold miners than their own kind? Henry Casey, Lilly, White Fang, and Peter must put their courage to the test and save their people, the Inuit tribe from starvation and loss of their homeland! A thrilling sensation to watch, appropriate for all ages, and emotionally intense, this movie has all the elements of a magnificent movie. Your head swims in despair as you watch Lili, daughter of Moses, resolve her emotional conflicts with Henry. You feel like shouting out, when you see Moses, the leader of the Inuit Tribe, smile with satisfaction. See this movie right away!
