Watch The Wolfman For Free

Waste of time

Very best movie i ever watch

That was an excellent one.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The Wolfman is a disappointment. Nobody is going to compare Joe Johnstone to Spielberg or Lucas but there was no reason for the studios to give the reins of a film to a man who is better known in the vfx arena and not as a wholesome filmmaker. What is even worse is that The Wolfman isn't even visually exciting. It is too dark and drab and the makeup (which for a film where a man transforms into a werewolf is of top importance) leaves a lot to desire. Frankly speaking An American Werewolf in London had more realistic makeup and transformation. And all this without going into the story or pacing. To be fair The Wolfman is an alright film but do not go in with much expectation.

The wolfman is your typical average werewolf movie with little to no character development and weak back story but if you are a fan of werewolf movies like i am , you can still watch it as long as you don't end up spending money on it because that's when you get into the grey area and start regretting it. If you are not a fan of werewolf movies there is really nothing in the movie to hold your interest. Below Average Acting, Average screenplay , Average soundtrack, below average direction (Joe Johnston should stick to movies like honey i shrunk the kids and jumanji) where it is more visually striking than a horror thriller which requires a very different storytelling. My rating 5/10 : nothing more, nothing less than what it tries to achieve. I watched it because of 2 reasons Emily Blunt and Werewolf and i am still not sure if it was worth it.

The initial tableau: Lawrence's mother dies during his childhood in the village of Blackmoor. This traumatizes him; his wealthy father sends him to an asylum, then exiles him to New York. Years later, Gwen (Lawrence's brother's fiancée), finds him in New York and begs him to return to Blackmoor to aid in locating his missing brother. Back in England, Lawrence learns that his brother is dead from mauling by an animal. In this sad setting, Lawrence tries to renew his relationship with his estranged father, Sir John. This works to some degree, but Lawrence himself is bitten. He survives, which is unfortunate, as it turns out.Delineation of conflicts: Inspector Abberline wants to confine Lawrence as a threat to society. Reverend Fisk would like the unholy acts of the werewolf stopped. Dr Hoenneger wants to expose Lawrence to his professional colleagues as an insane man whose obsessions make him commit heinous acts, not some supernatural creature. Lawrence wants to stop the effects the full moon has on him. Gwen would like to help Lawrence, but it is not clear on just how to do that. Sir John has his own issues with Lawrence.Resolution: It's beautiful to behold, and horrible at the same time. The ending has considerable strength.

The mysterious, Gothic feel of The Wolfman was really well-done. Unlike the 1941 Lon Chaney, Jr. version, which took place in the then-contemporary WWII Europe, this picture takes place in 1890s England, apparently right outside of London, in the inevitably named "Blackmoor." Nice.Benicio del Toro seems a bit miscast at first glance. But viewers find out early in the film that Sir Talbot married a Latin woman, so Benitio's Latin looks makes sense. Without the "Why me?" look of Lon Chaney, Jr., Benicio had the fear of God in him instead.This fear seemed real and sincere, as he discovers he is cursed. Cursed from the bite of a werewolf. He implores the local gypsies to help him but this version of Maleva is not much help. Her advice is to put Larry Talbot out of his misery. Silver bullets no extra charge.Quite a surprise as to who the other werewolf is (no spoilers here). The duo werewolf smack-down will make any WWE fan proud.Larry getting captured and locked up in a mental asylum was quite intense. The director's view of psychiatry as a barbaric science with its use of ice-baths to cure delusion and sticking him with some kind of drugs has, unfortunately, not changed that much in 21st century psychiatric practice. We've graduated to electric-shock treatments from ice-baths. A true horror story.The transformation of the man to wolf is great. Memories of The American Werewolf in London will come to you, and naturally so, because Rick Baker had something to do with both films. But where to the wolf-man's clothes go? Does he pick up after himself after each transformation? But I digress.As in the first Universal picture, there is a mild love interest. It's a subdued, subplot however.Anthony Hopkins is delightfully demented as Sir Talbot, Sr. The Gothic mansion atop the hill with moon shining down in its full glory is so iconic -- and the fake time-lapse movement of our lunar neighbor as it glows through the dead tree branches and storm clouds brings back more memories of Universal pictures past.Example: The usual villagers with torches marching through the forest (with the baying dogs and such, reminiscent of Frankenstein). The deep howl of the wolf-man as he bays at the moon, as he gorges on the liver and intestines of his latest victim. Oh, the hopping from the rooftops, again reminiscent of Henry Hall's wolf-man, Werewolf of London (which predates Chaney's version).The music evokes a mood and the plot moves along quite swiftly. At times, the audience is surprised as if the director says "boo" out of a closet or something. He does this a bit too often, but it's still fun to do.If you are any kind of a Universal fan and have waited for a more adult treatment of this film, then you really should watch this film. See how many iconic pictures you can spot as Universal digs deep into its vault of horror.So don't be a cynic -- turn off your brain, don't think, and enjoy this bit of entertainment.Warning: much gore and decapitations ensue!I understand Bride of Frankenstein is coming soon. Pray it ain't Anne Hathaway!Of course, you can always pick up the originals!
