The Wolfman

posted by MilesR on Thursday, 18th February 2010, 08:19

I can't remember having been to see a film at the cinema that I've felt like walking out of...but The Wolfman is one that I was very tempted to do just that.

The script in my opinion, was terrible, the acting (for both Del Toro & Hopkins) was awful and the plotline too predictable (but that was kind of expected). Would have liked to have had more of Art Malik's character ("Singh") as well.

The one redeeming feature for me was Emily Blunt, but even she wasn't given much to work with.

This was one of the 1st quarter releases that I was most looking forward to so was extremely disappointed by the film. Horrible script, acting, direction and creature effects by Rick Baker. The final reel was terrible and I sincerely hope that they don't go through with the sequel that was set up at the end.

The make-up and practical effects work (not the CGI) were great, Anthony Hopkins added some class ham which the material really didn't deserve, it was a lot more graphic than expected and Emily Blunt always looks lovely.

Everything else was pretty bad though, sadly. Not a total disaster but no classic by any stretch.

I'd be inclined to disagree with that.

Of the movies I've seen relatively recently at the cinema..
Avatar was pretty good, really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes...and also enjoyed The Book Of Eli.
Daybreakers - not so great...but watchable IMO.
