Comments on: The Wolfman http://darbyssecretstash.com/2010/02/09/the-wolfman/ More Than a Wee Bit of Movie Review Shenanigans! Sat, 07 Apr 2012 07:48:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Darby O'Gill http://darbyssecretstash.com/2010/02/09/the-wolfman/#comment-217 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:51:56 +0000 http://darbyssecretstash.com/?p=1656#comment-217 Thanks for commenting, Carole. Like Gareth said earlier, we all have our different opinions, but that’s also the best part of going to seeing a movie. I don’t mind them keeping the look old school look, but I do wish they would stop making these movies like a Jane Austin film, and just focus on making a good movie. It doesn’t really work in my opinion. Also this movie is full of digital effects, from the transformation, to jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I’m glad you liked it, but for me the whole movie felt like the end fight scene.

If you would like to read Carole’s review of The Wolfman here is the link.

Thanks for stopping by Carole, and hope to see you here again soon.

I didn’t pick up the “my daddy doesn’t love” too. The only thing I disliked was the fight scene at the end, a little ridiculous. I wouldn’t say it’s a masterpiece but I had a very nice time watching it.

I thought the “rubbish” thing was funny. I wasn’t offended by it. Did they have an advanced screening in Leeds? How did you get to see it so soon?

You should definitely add me on FB!

I have high hopes for Clash of the Titans, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

the “rubbish” comment was pretty harsh I admit – sorry – I just enjoyed it so much having worked myself into a frenzy for the last 18 months over the thing. I’m just so glad it wasn’t the let-down I’d feared. I even made myself a Wolfman Day Advent Calendar!

Personally I didn’t pick up on the “my daddy doesn’t love me” crap it just shows different people see different things.

Yes I will read more of your reviews and if you don’t mind I’ll add you as a friend on FB?

Now what’s next – Clash of the Titans?

Regards – Gareth :)

You’re right. The best part of seeing a movie is the fact that everyone will walk away with their own opinions. I agree, the special effects were great… at times. They did get a little CGIy when he was on the rooftops, but the running on all fours was definitely cool. I just wished they would have spent more time on that stuff, and not so much with the whole “my daddy doesn’t love me” crap. Wouldn’t you like to see a real master of horror, like John Carpenter or Wes Craven, remake one of these classic monster movies for once?

I hope this rubbish review doesn’t stop you from coming back and reading my other rubbish reviews. Hopefully our opinions will sync up on the next one.

Cheers,
Darby

Excellent film, tense, exciting and gory. The most horrifying werewolf EVER and some superb transformation scenes. And the Wolfman walks on 2 feet and runs on 4, a real mixture of man and beast. When I heard about this I was dubious but it’s really well done.

So – what did you expect them to do? NOT use the new technology?

Universal will always be a loser to some people when they remake a classic but if you don’t go into it with a jaded view hopefully you’ll enjoy it and go along with the ride. I love the 1941 original and watched it the night before we went to see the 2010 version and can honestly say I love both versions.

One slight criticism was that there is not a single moment of humour – it’s not another Mummy by any stretch of the imagination.

But why listen to me – we all have different opinions – go see it! I loved it.
