The Wolfman (2010)

The Wolfman, is a remake of the 1941 film with the same name. Having lots of expectations for movies in 2010, well this film ain't one of them. This film first boast with stunning visual effects and second, its excellent casts from Oscar winners Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, Oscar nominee Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving (a.k.a Agent Smith in The Matrix).

The film is great in terms of acting and visual effects but lack of just a good story and like what I read in The Star newspaper, this movie lacks its soul or in Malaysia, we call it oomph. After I watched this movie, I felt like there is a missing puzzle or piece to this movie. Well, a plus point for these film is that the score for this movie is kind of great. Besides, sudden loud noises and frights would be a great show to watch for couples (you should know what I meant)

Director Joe Johnston who previous films were Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Jumaji, and Jurassic Park III just fail to obtain a good story for this movie. After all, you need a good bedtime story in order to put your kids in bed and have a nice sleep. If you just want to sit down and pick a movie, then The Wolfman is quite a film for you whereas movie lovers, try to bear with this movie but yet enjoy the great acting.


My Review: 2.5/5
Rotten Tomatoes: 32%
