2.5 out of 5 stars
This was not your typical thriller/horror movie but it definitely was. There was more than enough gore to go around and when the wolf was released it would go tearing through people like a tiger tears through its prey.
Honestly I expected so much more from this movie considering it had three amazing actors Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt. Two have Oscars and the third will one day, I know it (especially after her AMAZING turn in The Devil Wear's Prada-- highly highly highly recommend that movie).
My issue with this movie is they tried to make it into a stupid love story. A horror movie has no place for a love story. Now if they had marketed it and made it as a love story it could have worked but instead they marketed it as a thriller and wondered why no one went to the movie.
These three amazing actors could not save the movie and as a result it was horrible. But if you do want to see it, go see it for the special effects-- AMAZING!! Watching the man turn into a wolf was the only reason this was not 1 out of 5 stars (I am serious). I would watch it again but fast forward to the scenes when he changes because they are so much fun to watch.
Overall do not rent this movie!! Watch the original 1941 version instead!! Let me know what you think!
