El hombre lobo

When this movie was released in 2010 it was a box office and critical disaster and I've been waiting for the best 12 years for it to get the recognition it deserves. Judging by the rating here that day is still to come. The Wolfman is what you might call a remake of a classic and it fills the role in the best way. Retaining the orginal core structure but adding something on top of it: here mainly the visual and special effects. The werewolf is a convincingly dangerous beast here and gives you the closest feeling of what an actual one would be like of any film. Though it takes the gore a step too far and wraps all the way around past shocking to almost comical.

While the atmosphere of the film is right, the pacing might be a bit off. The movie wastes no time and leaps to plot points with one tight scene to the next which means it isn't boring. However, this action movie pace is a little too rapid for a horror movie and could have shown down at parts.

With a strong cast, an atmospheric style, a good creature The Wolfman is about all you can ask a horror movie to be. And its completely undeserving of the rating it has here-ignore it.

I'm surprised by the low ratings The Wolfman gets. Surprised yes and no because I've giving up since a long time deciding whether or not I should watch a movie based solely on the ratings. Too much people rate mediocre movies with the highest score possible whilst perfectly good entertaining movies are being bashed. The Wolfman is entertaining, certainly in the lycanthrope genre, a genre that had multiple bad movies in the past, but this one is one for the "good werewolf movies list". The cast is full of excellent actors like Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and others. The cinematography was what I liked the most about this movie, a nice dark tone of imaging added something special to the ambiance. It's not a wonder it won an Oscar for make-up as that was also one of the better things about The Wolfman. The story could have been better, I won't deny that, but all the rest made up for it. The Wolfman is underrated certainly in this genre.

This movie has it all. Great actors, great music, a great setting and mood, great CGI and special effects, just great everything. And on top of that, you got a werewolf running around. I would also heavily recommend watching the unrated directors cut of this movie, it goes much deeper into the story and clears up some of the confusion in the theatrical version and also adds some more action packed violence in the middle of the film. I was a skeptic before watching this movie because of some of the reviews but to me this movie deserves much more attention than it got. For me, it's a must watch and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great way to spend some time on a full moon lit night.

It's a decent horror/Wolfman movie. Great cast , story moves along at a decent pace. It's not an Oscar winning movie but to have a universal exec say it's one of the 2 worst movies universal ever made, other being babe pig in the city. Like come on, it's not close to that bad..but hearing that doesn't it make you curious to watch it? Give it a shot.

I watched the Unrated Director's Cut and I can say that it is pretty bloody (which is a good thing). There are some questionable CGI moments, but I am glad that they also used practical effects for the makeup and kept him close to the original Wolfman's looks and not just some crazy wolf creature. Better than I expected, but I am a sucker for werewolf stories.
