Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

cricketbat Maybe it was because I had very low expectations, but I found The Wolfman to be quite entertaining. The high-quality special effects make the werewolf believable and terrifying. The movie, however, isn't as scary as it could have been. The slow-paced story kills a lot of the potential tension. Nonetheless the acting, set design and cinematography all deserve praise. It doesn't replace the original Wolfman, but I would gladly include this in my Halloween movie queue.

russellholmes The Wolfman is a disappointment. Nobody is going to compare Joe Johnstone to Spielberg or Lucas but there was no reason for the studios to give the reins of a film to a man who is better known in the vfx arena and not as a wholesome filmmaker. What is even worse is that The Wolfman isn't even visually exciting. It is too dark and drab and the makeup (which for a film where a man transforms into a werewolf is of top importance) leaves a lot to desire. Frankly speaking An American Werewolf in London had more realistic makeup and transformation. And all this without going into the story or pacing. To be fair The Wolfman is an alright film but do not go in with much expectation.

re-animatresse more a retelling than a remake of the 1941 Universal Studios classic, the similarities more or less start and end with the titular monster make-up and character names. Sir John Talbot, Larry/Lawrence's father, is played by Anthony Hopkins, whose performance drives the film.Joe Johnston's Wolfman is a Gothic romance reminiscent of, though not quite the masterpiece of movie magic that is Coppola's Dracula, with an excellent soundtrack composed by Danny Elfman and several others who, according to Wikipedia, 'were brought in to shape Elfman's score to fit the final cut of the film, as well as compose new material'. worth watching and judging by its own merit

scoobert_sean This is indeed a fine real tribute to the original classic. I actually don't get why there are people who compares this classic wolf man monster to the werewolves we see in other movies. It is supposed to be a man with wolf features, an relentless aggressive killing beast, but still a very smart one which actually plans and knows despite its instincts. It's a dark fun ride. A true classic back to life, and another addition to the October movie list.
