The Wolf Man (2010)

[GL]

While returning home to check on his recently-deceased long-lost brother, a man falls victim to a savage curse passed on by an animal attack and starts to roam the countryside hunting for prey before the authorities can stop him.

What did everyone think of this one?

I give it a solid 4. I donb't know that the plot changes from the original were really a benefit, and it did have a more action oriented and less horror tone, but the fact remains that at the end of the day it was a fun enough film.

To me, that's an improvement if you're upping the action ante, and the added bonus this one had in that area was two utter phenomenal scenes, the gypsy camp attack and the institution escape/rampage through central London and then mixed with an adherence for grand Gothic scenery really impressed me along with outstanding werewolf make-up, good gore and lots of action. I really only didn't care for the middle segment where he undergoes the changes brought about the transformation, in which it seemed like the powers weren't really all that developed or explored at all and it just seemed like it never made a big deal at all that he was changing.

It's now my favorite of the current remake phase we're in and has unseated One Missed Call in that regard.

I liked it. Some really effective atmosphere, the cast was solid and there were a couple of stand out scenes (the scene in the institution and the ensuing mayhem is pretty awesome). But I actually thought the effects were kind of a mixed bag (some good, some mediocre) and the ending was just weak in my opinion.
I'll give it a strong 3, more of 3.5.
