JOK3R The wolfman is your typical average werewolf movie with little to no character development and weak back story but if you are a fan of werewolf movies like i am , you can still watch it as long as you don't end up spending money on it because that's when you get into the grey area and start regretting it. If you are not a fan of werewolf movies there is really nothing in the movie to hold your interest. Below Average Acting, Average screenplay , Average soundtrack, below average direction (Joe Johnston should stick to movies like honey i shrunk the kids and jumanji) where it is more visually striking than a horror thriller which requires a very different storytelling. My rating 5/10 : nothing more, nothing less than what it tries to achieve. I watched it because of 2 reasons Emily Blunt and Werewolf and i am still not sure if it was worth it.
Peter Miller (pitabox987) This movie looks good on the outside, dark and suspenseful and full of mystery.Unfortunately the 'dark' aspect covers the fact that the first third of the film practically has nothing interesting in it, the suspense is minimal, and the mystery is non-existent as any smart person can pick straight away who the 'wolfman' is.Some of the scenes are so clichéd that it makes the film boring to watch, It's difficult for me to watch half of the film in one sitting, it's that boring. - Whenever something interesting does happen you'll find yourself cheering for the werewolf because those trying to disprove or stop him have acted like such complete idiots that they deserve the fates they bring upon themselves.As a fan of Anthony Hopkins I was greatly disappointed by his sluggish performance, it's absolutely mind numbing.Do yourself a favor, don't bother with this film, unless you enjoy torturing yourself.I'll give it one star for having Anthony Hopkins in it, the other two are for the film and it's overall quality...
Kirpianuscus because the traditions about Wolfman and the adaptations of its legend are a large circle and the expectations are high. but a film who could be interesting. for atmosphere, for dialogues, for Anthony Hopkins giving a character who knows use ambiguity as spice for a story too predictable and to give the portrait of a cold father. Benicio del Toro did his the best and the result is decent. I admit, after I saw first time, the disappointment was not small. but if you accept it as part of a large picture of the Central European myths, it could be not so awful. but only one of nice demonstrations about the resurrection of a theme, using new technology because the story has each line perfect.
suite92 The initial tableau: Lawrence's mother dies during his childhood in the village of Blackmoor. This traumatizes him; his wealthy father sends him to an asylum, then exiles him to New York. Years later, Gwen (Lawrence's brother's fiancée), finds him in New York and begs him to return to Blackmoor to aid in locating his missing brother. Back in England, Lawrence learns that his brother is dead from mauling by an animal. In this sad setting, Lawrence tries to renew his relationship with his estranged father, Sir John. This works to some degree, but Lawrence himself is bitten. He survives, which is unfortunate, as it turns out.Delineation of conflicts: Inspector Abberline wants to confine Lawrence as a threat to society. Reverend Fisk would like the unholy acts of the werewolf stopped. Dr Hoenneger wants to expose Lawrence to his professional colleagues as an insane man whose obsessions make him commit heinous acts, not some supernatural creature. Lawrence wants to stop the effects the full moon has on him. Gwen would like to help Lawrence, but it is not clear on just how to do that. Sir John has his own issues with Lawrence.Resolution: It's beautiful to behold, and horrible at the same time. The ending has considerable strength.
