The Wolfman Review

I saw The Wolfman on Friday and I came out with hodgepodge of emotions. It has incredible strengths and obvious pitfalls. I was not really disappointed however. As one of my favorite reviewers said, "You go to a Wolfman movie expecting to see a Wolfman doing Wolfman stuff." And in that regard it is a masterpiece. The action sequences were fast, gritty and ferocious. Sadly they were few and far between... and the London scene... so good... just wish it was five minutes longer.

The actors and director deserve some exceptional credit as their performances were convincing and engaging... I just wish the script was better. The movie suffered from sever pacing issues and started to fall apart in the last twenty minutes... the ending was terrible as well.

Considering the trouble this film went through before it was finally released around two years later than expected I have to say I enjoyed the experience and will probably rent it in a year or so.

If you have some cash to spend and you want to see a Wolfman doing Wolfman stuff go see this movie.

I give it a 7 out of 10.
