When i heard that Universal would be reviving the "The Wolfman" movie i was pretty excited. This could usher in a new era of monster movies, but if they're all gonna be like "Wolfman" than i'm a little worried. The acting is great, i thought that Benicio del Toro was the perfect Lawrence Talbot, Anthony Hopkins once again pulls off the likable creepy guy, and the movie has Hugo Waving (Agent Smith from "The Matrix") as an inspector who has little impact on the story at all.The effects are great, and the transformation scene is eerie and awesome. The story starts out pretty good, but once Lawrence becomes the Wolfman it all goes down hill. What was a somewhat pleasently pace movie turned into some hyper action movie, out of nowhere! This is the second worst part of the movie, the worst thing about this film is that there are TOO MANY JUMP SCARES. It's safe to say there was at least one jump scare every ten minutes...im not exaggerating. The movie turns into a cheap slasher flick about 20 minutes in and it has a lot of trouble redeeming itself. Oh yeah and if you're opposed to violence keep in mind this movie is VERY GORY, teetering on absurd. So as much as it pains me to say it might be a rent, i honestly don't know who this movie was intended for, but its a least not for me. i'd give it a 3 out of 5. Also, weird fun fact, Gene Simmons does the howling for the wolf.
