Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Fantastic!

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I can't understand why people are so down on this film. I mean the cast alone is worth the time. Benicio is an excellent Lawrence Talbot, and Sir Anthony Hopkins in his best Hannibal Lecter style of villainy is spectacular . Plus the makeup by the legendary Rick Baker is second to none.

I've watched this film more than 10 times and will watch it over and over again because every time I do, it never ceases to mesmerize me. The script was well-written, the actors were really great (especially Anthony Hopkins), the setting was just right, the music was excellent, the special effects were magnificent, the costumes were fabulous, the entire film was well-directed. This, for me, is the best werewolf movie ever, a masterpiece. I can't wait for another one to top this.

The wolfman is your typical average werewolf movie with little to no character development and weak back story but if you are a fan of werewolf movies like i am , you can still watch it as long as you don't end up spending money on it because that's when you get into the grey area and start regretting it. If you are not a fan of werewolf movies there is really nothing in the movie to hold your interest. Below Average Acting, Average screenplay , Average soundtrack, below average direction (Joe Johnston should stick to movies like honey i shrunk the kids and jumanji) where it is more visually striking than a horror thriller which requires a very different storytelling. My rating 5/10 : nothing more, nothing less than what it tries to achieve. I watched it because of 2 reasons Emily Blunt and Werewolf and i am still not sure if it was worth it.

The werewolf tale has been done many times and in many different ways. I'm always intrigued by the liken/werewolf movie so it never gets old for me. I liked this rendition as well.What I was looking for: 1.) Plus CGI/special effects with the Wolfman. There was plenty of that in his transformation and his speedy movements.2.) A display of the Wolfman's strength and brutality. It is a werewolf movie after all. There must be sacrifices.3.) A halfway decent story. It didn't have to be great just serviceable and it was even better than I expected.To me, it was an above average werewolf movie. Bravo.
