Why so low? Why did you hate this?


I absolutely love this Wolfman film. I would really like to know why it was not well received by fans and viewers. Please tell me what it is that makes it rank so low…

Oh, I don't know... I just watched it again and I don't hate it anymore. I mean, there's a huge body count and it seems generally a bit excessive in that way. Hundreds of people were eye witnesses who will have to be convinced that didn't see what the saw and that just feels a bit off. I tend to favor a world where monsters and the supernatural are remarkable rather than familiar, but that's not any serious criticism. I don't love it, but it's okay.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was very good either. I haven't seen it since it came out in theaters 14 years ago, but I remember the gore and effects being cool, but the story was really bland and kind of slow.

I still vividly remember when the movie came out it got a ton of bad reviews. I was interested in the movie because I love director Joe Johnston and Emily Blunt was hot! But the bad reviews scared me off, more than 10 years later I watched the movie. I'm shocked the movie wasn't bad, I would say it was above average.

Definitely. I didn't see it at the cinema but I did get the DVD. Not bad at all. I gave it a 7/10.

Bad cgi, bad music, bad acting, everything is played off like a joke. It’s clear the actors were only here for a paycheck. Although it is watchable, but definitely feels like a B-movie despite the cast. I would give it a 5/10. Only for die-hard werewolf fans. This is more of a movie that friends watch while drinking beer and riffing on it.
