Review: The Wolfman



I went to the screening of THE WOLFMAN yesterday with high expectations...because it seems to be a solid production with award winning cast.....I have been a big fans of Benicio Del Toro and his last film which he portays as Che Guevara has been awesome. Back to this film...this film is definitely a no-no....Here's a very good reason.....I never expect that this movie would use cheap shock...It is a 150 million production....they should have think of something fresh and it really lack of genuine shock..The movie is way too gory as well...which for me..would be a little bit unnecessary as they could be focus more on the plot (which has no suspense at all). I have no comment on the CGI effect as they are actually quite good and seem real. The best part of the movie would be the acting powered by Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving...Yea...they are all solid actors......
So, to make this movie a better film, they have to strip off some gore...the cheap shocks....and more momentum on the plot...(It just run merely a little bit more than 90 mins)......
For me...the most dissapointing part of the movie would be the cheap shock...really....it do shocked you...but they are all unnecessary....really couldn't believe that they put cheap shock in an expensive production... The best part would be the wolfman chasing scene as the CGI are done really great....The transformation of human to a wolf seems real as well....and of coz the solid acting by Benicio and the gang...
But overall...it is a dissapointing movie..

Rating: 5.5/10 (major points for acting and CGI)
