I thought it was an art film...

Benicio del Toro + Anthony Hopkins + Hugo Weaving + Emily Blunt-these people together, I thought it was... an art film. After watching it, I realized that it turned out to be a horror film that was not scary at all and was extremely plain.
Speaking of werewolf movies, what I look forward to the most is the moment when the werewolf transforms. The transform in the "Night Tales" series is really exciting. It is a less complete transformation from the human face, the change of facial bones. Realistic and impactful under computer production, I believe that the later "New Moon" series has also been somewhat affected. But this "Werewolf" is too much trouble-free. It has a lot of deformations of hands and feet. The model is naturally cheaper than CG. The deformation on the face is basically to add some hair. Is the money used to please the big names?
When I first heard that Benicio would play the werewolf, my first reaction was: no makeup is needed, this buddy can scare people in broad daylight. But the acting skills are unquestionable. The "Drug Network" that won him an Oscar is my favorite. It is a pity that this film did not give him much opportunity to play his acting skills. Together with Hopkins and Hugo, they struggled in the vulgar and vulgar plot. The three people probably played 30% of their power to get these facialized roles. . In contrast, only Emily’s role is still a bit to watch, especially the fear and contradiction at the end. The performance is pretty good. The problem is that the plot also didn’t give her too much time to act out the process of falling in love with the actor. Some places seem more abrupt, but it's not her fault.
Except for the beauty, this film is almost useless, but some bloody shots are worth watching, but the editing is covered up, and it is so fast that people can't see it... Well, a movie that wastes my time.

The Wolfman quotes

  • Sir John Talbot: You sure you won't stay one more night?

    Gwen Conliffe: My father has lodgings at the inn, and that's more convenient for the train so...

    [She turns to Lawrence]

    Gwen Conliffe: When do you return to London?

    Lawrence Talbot: Not till I find out what happened to my brother.

    [Gwen turns and climbs into the carraige. She and Lawrence exchange a brief glance before the driver pulls away]

    Sir John Talbot: Lawrence, that's all well and good, but I think your inquiry could wait until tomorrow. The moon is full tonight and I'd prefer that you stay inside in the event that your raving lunatic theory is correct. I don't want to lose you too.

  • Lawrence Talbot: Miss Conliffe. I am Lawrence.

    Gwen Conliffe: I know who you are.

    Lawrence Talbot: I'm sorry we're meeting like this. These were Ben's. He'd want you to have them.

    [He hands her a bag, a ring, and a picture of her]

    Lawrence Talbot: If there is anything you need, anything at all, please let me know.

    Gwen Conliffe: I want to know what happened to him.

    Lawrence Talbot: I'll do everything I can.

    Gwen Conliffe: Thank you. Thank you for coming.
