The Wolfman (2010) [Blu-ray]

I had seen this movie before, but it had been a long time and I wanted to watch it again. Sometimes when I am in a blue funk or recovering from an illness, I like to lay on the couch and watch a really scary movie, like Wolfman or Frankenstein or zombie attack or something like that. Anyway, I was in that sort of mood so I ordered up the wolf man. I’ll tell you I like that scene Where they have the Wolfman in his un transformed state tied to that chair in the lecture hall with all those fine gentlemen watching. That is so hilarious when he transforms and they are all trying to get out of that room. There is a lot of sadness and truth in that however and so you had better be prepared for that.

Great movie! Several JUMP moments!

Well, that was an excellent remake. I love Lon Chaney and Del Toro brings that meloncoly, brooding darkness and mystery just like Chaney. This movie is definitely a dark Gothic flick. I can't believe it is by far better than the original. Hands down a good movie. To make a werewolf movie is a challenge. Because they tend to be campy or just awful or very outdated. Not this one. Excellent watch with a very good backstory without going into so many back stories you can't follow. There's the present story and Lawrence's history. It's intense and exciting at times. Some good action too.A few good kill scenes. The gore isn't overdone. They convey the point without getting into all the effects of showing the gore.

The Wolfman 2010 is an underrated werewolf film that needs to be re-watched especially with the fallout with the 2025 re-imagined film.

The Wolfman (2010) having been panned by critics and audiences on its original theatrical release, is finally finding the love it deserves on 4K UHD.And rightly so, because it's a fantastic movie that honours the original classic monster movie.The acting is outstanding from it's all star cast, the cinematography captures the gothic tone beautifully and the award winning CGI effects, albeit a little dated now is mixed with practical effects from none other than Rick Baker (can you spot his blink or you'll miss it cameo?)This 4K transfer from Scream Factory is hands down one of best of 2024, the inclusion of HDR and Dolby Vision gives the movie a new lease of life, with the darkest scenes now so much clearer to see.The colours are vivid and pop like never before and film grain is natural and never overpowering.The best part however is the new Dolby Atmos mix, the reference quality sound will blow your mind.You've never heard this beast howl quite like this before!The dialogue is crisp and is solid throughout, and is never undermined by the fantastic music by Danny Elfman or the well executed sound effects.This is an essential purchase, 10/10.

Good movie

Love this movie

The Wolfman, I was always curious about watching this movie after seeing the commercials and trailers for it. If anyone looked like he could be a werewolf in disguise, Benicio Del Toro would be it.The problem with this movie is that, it doesn't really grip you, but you could tell it's really trying hard to get you invested. Though Benicio did an admirable job trying to play the nice guy role, he just looks like too much of a creeper to really be a nice guy. There's just something about his look that always makes you feel like he's secretly a psychopath.Also, the love between him and the female love interest felt very... weird. I guess I'm just one of those folks that would be very creeped out if my love started dating my brother. No sir I don't like it!There were a few other things I didn't like in this movie, namely, there were just way too many time lapse segments. There were so many time lapse from daylight to nightime and back again, that it felt like several months had passed. I also didn't understand why the one character didn't turn into a werewolf when they stared into the moon.The effects were interesting, and the Wolfman costume definitely looked like an homage to the original. I was entertained by the action and the characters, but I can't say that I would recommend watching this movie. It's probably fine to watch on a Halloween night, but don't expect anything special from this flick.
