Film: The Wolfman

In attempting to create an old fashioned Wolfman film the people behind
this one may just have been too accurate because what we have here is an almost exact replica of the wolfman films of a bygone era and it makes you laugh just as much as they do when you watch them now.

Benicio Del Toro just looks bored and Anthony Hopkins is good to begin with but he too descends into unintentional comedy as the story moves on.

The story itself isn't really worth mentioning as I'm sure you get the picture.

The laughs keep coming as we have the wolfman running around roofs with his big silly panting face right up at the camera and the finale is simply hilarious.

This didn't work for me on any level.
Bad story.
Bad acting.
Bad special effects.
Bad comedy.

Avoid.

  1. i have to disagree with you and most people for that matter on this one.
    i loved this film from first viewing (though it was the unrated cut version i saw)
    i loved the mood of it, its relativley slow pace and its cinematography.
