Plot:
Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman, is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.
Review:
The trailer for The Wolfman had promise, it looks like it contained an interesting storyline, some action, gore, and flying intestines. It did live up to the latter parts, being mainly the gore and flying intestines, and plenty of them. However it didn’t keep up with a good plot line, the story revolved around Lawrence Talbot who returns home after the news of his brothers death to find it was due to a Werewolf, while trying to track down the killer of his brother, he’s mauled by the Werewolf and takes on the form himself.
The plot didn’t live up to it’s hype, it was fairly uninteresting. Usually I’ll find movies with one main story line and several other smaller ones that follow in and out throughout the film. But in this case there wasn’t many which left myself to just watching the movie.
The movie looked good, as was Benicio Del Toro’s acting. Anthony Hopkins really didn’t live up to his usual roles and from a producing point of view was probably a waste of money being in this film.
I’d wait till Tight Arse Tuesday to see this one, or hire it from the local dvd store on a boring Saturday night.

2/5
