Liam D It's a standard but watchable Disney Adventure that is better than the original with a great score by John Debney (Dragonfly, Venom) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review r 9 Surprisingly good. 'White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf' is a sequel that doesn't feel like it's needed, based on the original film's end, and is one that changes its cast. Those two things would, you'd assume, lead to a disappointing follow-up. That's not the case here. Listen, it most probably doesn't need to exist. However, it still manages to create a followable story that's worth viewing. I didn't massively connect to it but I wasn't underwhelmed by it either. Add to that the strong performance of Scott Bairstow - he may be no Ethan Hawke, but I like what he gives to this. Of the rest of the cast, Al Harrington (Moses) and Charmaine Craig (Lily) are decent. Going back to Hawke, who does appear momentarily at the beginning. The retcon job on his character and therefore the conclusion of the 1991 production is rather substandard. From a film point of view, it makes zero sense. With that said, for the plot it is serviceable - especially with Hawke's cameo to make it feel proper. One understandable negative some may have is the less amount of screen time for White Fang himself. I actually did agree for a large portion while viewing, but by the end I was satisfied with how much I saw of the wolfdog. Did I want more of him? Sure, it's not a deal-breaker for me though. Definitely inferior to the first film, but still a good watch in my opinion. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review camille l Un peu moins d'animaux et un peu plus d'action font de cette suite de White Fang, même dénuée d'Ethan Hawke (hormis un caméo en tout début de métrage), un film un peu plus universel que son aîné. Scott Bairstow et Charmaine Craig sont très fades, mais Al Harrington et Anthony Ruivivar sont les vrais personnages intéressants du film, qui se déroule dans une réserve indienne de l'Alaska. De plus, Alfred Molina y livre un méchant prêcheur plutôt convaincant. Il est alors dommage que le film dure 1h46, ce qui est 15 minutes de plus qu'il ne le devrait, au bas mot. On finit par tourner un peu en rond. Mais pour une cash-grabbing 90s Disney sequel (oui, c'est un genre bien particulier), White Fang 2 est une bonne surprise. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Frances H Just doesn't equal the Disney family entertainment of the 50s and 60s, like Old Yeller. There's no emotional impact, such as Tonka and Savage Sam had. The acting is just by the book and the plot is too predictable. The scenery of British Columbia, which stands in for Alaska (although why is anyone's guess-was filming there cheaper?) is spectacular. Okay for kids, but not much here to satisfy adult taste. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/13 Full Review Audience Member White Fang 2 is an adventure story that can be for all ages. It is a great family movie for everyone to watch. It was a wonderful sequel and can be watched again and again. It teaches the spectators about life and is a great role model movie for anyone.  Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a nice movie, and nice story. I have to point out though that I didn't like this quite as much as the first White Fang film, which had better plot and story telling. This started interestingly but sort of ran on its place about half of the movie. The Zen in the art of Archery - scene seemed cliched and totally out of place in a movie depicting American Native people. I did wonder about the cool hairdo of the girl and boy who were the main characters, and how their hair and clothes looked so clean and tidy during the whole film despite of the harsh life in the wilderness. The story itself was interesting and the story of the two main characters was nice, but so much more depth could have been brought into it. Also the film didn't bring out Native American culture a lot. The beautiful alaskan wilderness was there, but still far from enough, as was the case with the first of the White Fang films. There was something odd about the screenplay and music reminded me of some episode of McGyver or some other 90's television show. It did have some exciting moments, like the chase in the wilderness and escape from the mines, but mostly this film was about anticipation of something cool which then didn't come about and sort of made the film flat like a pancake. As always, I value any interesting films featuring Native Americans, Indian Princesses and Wolves. I think the film was nice but it could have been even better. Sympathy points for the nice idea.
