User Review
A Worthy Remake, Very Dark.
Rating: 8/10
I saw "The Wolfman" in special screenings Sunday and to be truly
honest, I didn't know what to expect. I saw the original 1941 version
and I really liked it and it is a classic. I was afraid that the new
remake would of been very tacky and that was my biggest concern. But I
have to say after I watched this movie. I was very impressed. Benicio
Del Toro (An Oscar Winner) portrays the role very well and believable.
The cast is very well known with people such as Emily Blunt and the
great Anthony Hopkins. They don't technically give "Oscar Worthy
performances", but their acting certainly is very believable. The movie
oozes mysteriousness and the very Dark mood of it makes it very
enjoyable. But the movie has some flaws like the story is not original
and has been portrayed at least a million times. Also there are "some"
tacky parts in the movie, but they aren't very important at all. So my
overall consensus about the "Wolfman" is that it is a worthy remake the
1941 classic and it will gain many new fans.
I highly recommend people to watch this movie, it is very entertaining
and Dark.
