Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I didn't really think much of the first TEEN WOLF - an '80s high school comedy starring Michael J. Fox as a werewolf - so I wasn't expecting much from this forgotten sequel, either. Indeed, there's nothing much to see here other than a lame re-run of the first movie, with an added ROCKY-style boxing plot to add some action to the inanity.The problem with TEEN WOLF TOO is that it feels flaccid and badly dated as a high school comedy. The best high school movies are adult rated, delivering raucous entertainment that anyone who's ever been a teenager can readily identify with. By comparison, this is a cheap and cheerful sequel, the 'highlight' of which involves a huge '50s-flavoured dance off with our hero headlining in full werewolf costume.The narrative involves some kind of predictable moral fairytale in which our hero must learn humility and to constrain the excesses of his ego. It's all rather sanctimonious in approach, layered with '80s cheese and the usual stock characters: the nerd friend, the bad guy jock, the bimbos. Say what you like about the original, at least it had the likable Michael J. Fox as the lead, whereas here we're saddled with the annoying Jason Bateman instead. He's no match, and neither is this lacklustre movie compared to the warmly-regarded first film.

There seems to be so much going wrong with this movie before you actually put it into the DVD player and press play to actually question whether it is actually going to be worth your time (all one and a half hours of it, and remember that you are never going to get those one and a half hours back) sitting in front of the television screen (or in my case, the computer) and watching it.Okay, we can forgive the fact that Michael J Fox does not return as the lead character. This is understandable considering we are dealing with a new place and apparently new people. Well, that is actually what made me start thinking about this film and that is that as far as I could tell, there was only one actor, and that is the father (James Hampton) that actually came across from the original movie. However, there were a number of characters that came over as well (including Styles and the Coach) but it appears that these actors had better things to do with their time.Oh, the guy that plays Chubby comes over as well, but maybe that was because he was having a lot of difficulty finding work in Hollywood at the time.Okay, now that we have put that aside, I might then go on to suggest that this film reminds me of The Hangover Part II. No, not because it is about a bunch of guys that get outrageously drunk and have to piece the previous night together (though if they had thrown a werewolf into it, it might have made that movie somewhat more interesting) but rather because it is an exact duplicate of Teen Wolf, to the point that we pretty much know exactly what is going to happen. The only difference is because we are dealing with boxing as opposed to basketball, and we are in college as opposed to high school.Oh, we do have mention of those dreaded sports scholarships that seem to full American Universities with semi-literate people we are able to coast through their courses simply because they are really good at sports (and considering that college and highschool football is actually a big money spinner over in the states, I can see why they want to attract the best athletes). However, we must remember that while the athletes may become millionaires (if they are lucky and don't land up like Al Bundy, working in a ladies shoe shop, caught in some familial situation where he is the butt of all the jokes), it is the geeks that go on to become billionaires (unless, of course, you are like me that you did not actually use your geekiness and your intelligence wisely, and ended up wasting your time playing Dungeons and Dragons, and wasting your money buying Magic Cards).

Now, I'm as big a fan of the 1985 Teen Wolf as anybody else, but when I heard there was a second movie that came out two years later? Well, you can imagine my surprise!This film has the same atmosphere and the same cinematography as the first one, which really makes me feel like they put some hard effort into keeping up the good name of "Teen Wolf"Once again, the performances are superb. I'm glad to see Mark Holton's "Chubby" character have more screen time.My one critique is I don't care very much for Stuart Fratkin's portrayal of Stiles. To be fair, it's pretty hard to follow Jerry Levine's performance.Overall, this movie was entertaining from start to finish. It's great if you want a goofy movie to watch with your friends.

Christopher Leitch's direction didn't live up-to my expectations.'Teen Wolf Too' is a major letdown, I enjoyed Teen Wolf, the prequel. But the sequel is a very disappointing.Jason Bateman & some characters add on, the story is almost the same. The first was on Basketball, this is on Boxing. Some sequences for instance, in the 1st J.Fox shows his red-angry eyes to buy beer, over here Bateman shows his werewolf side to get his subjects in shape. And characters like Stiles & Chubby contribute nothing in the proceedings.Acting-wise: Jason Bateman is alright, plus he doesn't look anywhere like a boxer. Others are strictly okay.on the whole 'Teen Wolf Too' just doesn't work.
