Del Toro's Wolfman

I think this film gets a bum rap. Outside of the terrible CGI transformation scenes that should have been done practical having Rick Baker on set, I can't find anything else to fault. It had great atmosphere/setting, a top notch cast, nice homages to the original film, and great make up. I'd much rather Universal make a multiverse with this tone than the action-centric Tom Cruise Mummy film or the recent Dracula.

Agreed, i enjoyed that it was more like a 1940s classic horror movie rather than a modern action film.

I liked the operating room transformation scene. Usually I like my werewolves with a longer, more wolfish snout, but the creature's design was perfect. Underrated, I agree.

Was this Soderberg too, or am I thinking Che?

Underrated movie.
I don't remember if they ever showed the mother in any flashback scenes, but they'd have needed a swarthy actress to make anybody believe del Toro was Anthony Hopkins' son.

Bad lessons from this, much like The Thing prequel.
They cast it right, the script was good but they let down on having the special effects be cgi.

They showed the mom. It was some Spainish actress that slightly resembled Emily Blunt.

Critics shite on this movie but I really enjoyed it.

This movie seems to be mostly forgotten but its really good. It never even plays on cable.

I’m a sucker for anything Hugo Weaving does and with Anthony Hopkins in it: sign me up.
Enjoyable Movie

i always refer to it as The Academy Award winning Wolfman (it won best makeup at the oscars).
i remember taking my wife to see this on valentine's day. she wasn't pleased.

I watched the unrated version and it was super gory. I can't remember how violent the theater version was.
