All that's left is the atmosphere

I watched the trailer of this film last year, and I feel good overall. It has always been one of the films I have been looking forward to. I saw the high-definition video two days ago, so I quickly downloaded it. After watching it, I have to say that I am terribly disappointed. .
This film is a remake of the 1941 version of "The Werewolf". It is said that the tragic color of this film is very infectious. I haven't seen it, so I can only talk about this new version.
At the beginning of the film, a werewolf appeared and killed the protagonist's brother. This beginning always gave me a feeling of deja vu. By the way, "Sleepy Hollow", when I saw the screenwriter, it was really the screenwriter of "Sleepy Hollow". The atmosphere is also so similar to Sleeping Hollow.
Victorian England, a small isolated village, is the ideal scene for strange things to happen. People in taverns look at strangers with strange eyes, gloomy weather, and quiet forests. A face that is already painful without makeup. The mental hospital also allowed us to once again see the cruelty to the mentally ill in that era.
But the more you go on, the more the plot collapses, and you can guess that the old man is the old wolf when you see it halfway through. Grandpa Anthony Hopkins's acting skills are nothing to say, but I think he must be very embarrassed to play this film, and there is always no positive description. Emily Blunt is completely reduced to a vase, and her relationship with Benicio Del Toro is really inexplicable, and she is always YY by the male lead. It is really inexplicable. Could it be that the male lead has a wolf-like haircut after being bitten? So I understand why there is the term satyr.
Hugo Weaving's appearance caught my eye, but it's still a tragedy, it seems to be very strong, and in the end, the effect is to be bitten by the male protagonist and become the protagonist of a sequel that does not exist?
Gypsies are simply dispensable. I thought that the final ending would be like HP preaching that love can conquer everything. As a result, the heroine was scared to run away when the hero turned into a wolf. The last shot killed the hero. Well, it turns out that there is no way to do it.
Dad is also very funny. For some reason, he thinks that he should not suppress his nature. He kills his wife and children. Does it mean that werewolves have no humanity? Is the male protagonist just trying to explain or is he human? And the Indian boy who passed by in a flash is really ready for the sequel and laid the foundation for the prequel, but I don’t know if there will be a sequel and a prequel, the audience will buy it.
In the end, the father and son fought each other. As a result, the male protagonist just relied on the protagonist's halo to kick his father into the fire, so where did the fierce fight come from, and the mediocre father just hung up. As the villain's father, he didn't feel very annoying at all, but it was a pity to die like this.
Let's talk about horror, there is no horror at all. It's just a very primitive method that is just a shock. It can't be regarded as scary at all. There is no sense of substitution at all. Happy. And this werewolf, oh my god, my first thought was the way Dracula looked when she sucked Lucy's blood in "400 Years". This werewolf doesn't look like a wolf at all! He is completely a gorilla. In recent years, I am afraid that none of the films about werewolves have portrayed werewolves in this image!

The Wolfman quotes

  • Sir John Talbot: You're heir to my kingdom, Lawrence. You've always been heir to my kingdom.

  • Sir John Talbot: Lycanthropy... Lycanthropy... I contracted the diseasen if that's what it is in India, in the Hindukusch. The natives directed me to a cave high up in the mountains...... Where according to legend lived a strange creature, very strange creature. And after a great many days of climbing and... searching, finally I came upon it, I found it. I found the cave. And the strange creature that lived there. It was a little boy. A little wild feral boy. Powerfully strong. He suddenly attacked me and bit me. So, I returned to my hunting companions in the valley below thinking I'd been made the butt of a joke. I soon discovered otherwise.
