THE WOLFMAN- review



 STARRING: Benecio DelToro , Anthony Hopkins

Movie featuring some of the best actors like DelToro and Hopkins would have to be something different but here for The Wolfman its nothing new who have seen movies on ‘werewolves’ apart from visuals and sound effects.

This is the story of a men who was called back by his brother’s wife when his brother gets disappear. So he(DelToro) goes back to his town to find his brother but when he reaches he found that his brother is already dead. When inquired, he found that his brother was killed by some kind of monster, a monster who appears under full moon. His father (Hopkins) suggests him to go back to London but he denies and tries to find out the truth.

On his way to find the truth he got bitten by the monster (Werewolf) and he got cursed by werewolf. He finds that he has also become werewolf after bitten by werewolf. This way things goes and at the end he kills the werewolf because of whom he got that curse.

While watching the movie I don’t find the wolfman itself creepy or scary nor there was much bloodbath like other movies on werewolf. DelToro tries very hard to portray the wolfman but I don’t find him up to the mark. Anthony Hopkins was Good as usual.
The director has not created the The Wolfman much scary apart from a few sequences which were good enough to scare the audience. The story itself does not have strong hold.

So apart from a sincere attempt by DelToro and good performance by Hokins movie turns out to be average.

Watch if one has never seen movies on werewolves.

Rating : 5 out 10.
