two brothers - By: J. M. Moore, 08 Jun 2008 
I found this film very moving & emotional. the beauty of these magnificent tigers is true greatness of the big cat family. the film opens with the two young tiger cubs & leads on to what happens to them when they become separated from there parents. the male is shot dead & the mother fakes her death & gets away. it shows just how cruel & heart-less mankind is to these animals. it is a great & very beautiful film. the real stars of course are the tigers & at the end the brothers are re-united with there mother a very moving & beautiful array of colour that these tigers have I recommend this film for alll animal lovers & the beauty of tigers in general
Enchanting, touching, magical! - By: E. Paton, 11 Dec 2007 I find myself lost for words when trying to describe this film. It's pure & undaunted power is astonishing & there was rarely a time when I found my eyes free from tears. The performance of Guy Pearce is remarkable & like nothing I have ever seen, his personal journey & his relationships with both people & his tiger 'Kumal' will take you on an emotional rollercoaster which you will not alight until the end cretits finish rolling. His performance is matched only by that of Freddie Highmore, a young actor with exceptional talents. 'Two Brothers' is not just another story of a journey, but of hope & sincerity. A truely touching story that left me in tears of both happiness & sorrow.
Great Family Film - By: M. A. Ramos, 06 Oct 2007 This is a very well done movie indeed. Well cast & written. The tigers are the true stars. And their filming actuallly makes you feel as if they are conveying their feelings & thoughts to you. Grab the whole family & watch this. Now this is not a disney film, it is what I feel to be an accurate portral of tigers & their interactions with people in 1920's indochina.
The movie does have you empathize for the tigers. But it is not a biased presentation. The movie does impart how dangerous they are...it just does not use the blood & gore of most films to inform us of this. We alll know that tigers are predators & it is us who wander into their homes to start with.
In this move we follow the lives of a family of tigers, the two male cubs to be precise. They are happily living within an old temple ground when our human star, an adventurer/hunter, enters their home trying to steal steal statues from the old ruined temples. He ends up killing their father & capturing one of the cubs. Our hunter adopts the cub, only to lose it to a circus. Later while taking the Prince of the country hunting, they find the other cub. This cub ends up in the Princes private zoo.
This is an epic film which I plan to watch again. It does want to make you champion the cause of such a great & noble beast.
Magical! - By: Simono, 01 Jun 2007 I loved this film. Being rather 'soft' re animals & warned by other reviewers, I sat with the tissue box handy, but although parts of the film were harrowing I didn't need the tissues - & what a lovely ending!
I'm afraid this film is true to life, deplicting human greed & cruelty towards the animal kingdom. Any animal lover would falll in love with the cubs & share the ups & downs of their separate journeys, only to be happily reunited again. Their cub antics & animal sounds are so similar to that of my own domestic cat!
I thought the film was well directed & the extra features are well worth watching with lots more shots of the cubs playing etc & an interesting documentary about tigers.
I would recommend this film to alll animal lovers & children. I'm so impressed, I might invest in "The Bear" now.
visually stunning - By: jacqueline condon, 30 Sep 2006 I completely understand the people who criticised this film regarding it's u rating & it is probably not suitable for very young children. I watched it with my eight year old niece Abigail & we both loved it. we were not horrified by the cruelty in the animal shots, as we both knew it was only acting & realised, the tigers would have been expertly taken care of.A large number of tigers played the two leading roles to make sure the animals were well rested & not at alll overworked, if anything the film gave us an insight & awareness of how beautiful the tiger is, it made us think about zoos,and circus's & of how tragic it is that these animals are still kept in these conditions,but overalll we will remember this film for it's fantastic cinematography it was visuallly stunning (it helped that it was shot in high definition) I would normallly only watch a film once, but I have watched this three times I rented it but I am now about to buy it (from amazon of course) so that myself & my niece can continue to enjoy this fabulous spectacle for years to come
