the wolfman.



I give this movie a 'D'. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I believe all in all...there were about three scenes in the entire movie that was pretty cool. There's only so much you can do with a Werewolf movie. The idea was cool, but they failed in the creativity department, which to me is a BIG deal. So anyway, the story was just okay. It reminded me a lot of American Werewolf, and I couldn't help but think about Michael Jackson's Thriller. Even the werewolf scene in thriller was way cooler. This movie just didn't seem to have it's own creative elements.

**SPOILERS**

Let's talk about the werewolf. I like Benicio Del Toro a lot, and it's not his fault that the director was a tard. But his werewolf, get up, was the worst. This isn't the 70s/80s, it's 2010. If you want to create a monster, use Underworld as reference. Not some low budget indie film that was created when our parents used to go out on the town. Not cool, it ruined the movie for me. It was scarier when they didn't show "the beast". But when they showed it, I was like, oh...that's what everyone is running from? What I'm getting at, it had no impact what so ever, we want big. If your going to create a movie that has monsters, go all out, don't just get a guy and glue some pubes to him and tell him to go chase people. Although it would be funny to see...if that's the look and feel your going for.

There were some interesting moments in this movie. There were scenes where he started to hallucinate as part of one of the symptoms of his "curse". Those were pretty creepy and awesome. And the scenes where he was remembering things from his past. Oh! Not to mention, the transformation from man to beast, was awesome, a little gross looking, but really cool. I'd say that's about it. Nothing else stood out to me.

In conclusion, if this movie was any more cornier it would be a corn field in the south of the US. I'm sorry, that's not really funny, but I have no idea what else to say about this movie. If you haven't seen it, there's really no rush. If you haven't seen it, but want to, fine whatever do what you want. Your either the type thats not going to like it or is going to like it a lot, and if your the one that likes it a lot, do me a favor and don't come to this blog anymore. You might as well go watch 'Disaster Movie'.
