I've read lots of negative reviews and I saw it, thought it was a kick ass monster movie. How can a Universal Monster fan not enjoy this? I still can't help but feel there's a longer cut on the horizon. I hope it does well so it shows up on disc....Cheap Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369598751083326676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-26734010633818067972010-02-13T19:23:29.651-08:002010-02-13T19:23:29.651-08:00I think it had true greatness within its grasp, bu...I think it had true greatness within its grasp, but the Talbot character is just so thin. I kept waiting for an "oceans of time" moment, something that could have made that climax genuinely heart-rending. But it looks and sounds smashing. I even love the way they found a new spin on the werewolf howl - there was something hidden in the mix that really gave it an otherworldly quality. Hey - there have been troubled productions that turned out a hell of a lot worse than this.senskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469603484774090192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-16069472382142932502010-02-12T20:24:25.858-08:002010-02-12T20:24:25.858-08:00I really want to see this... disappointed to hear ...I really want to see this... disappointed to hear that it's not up to its potential.<br />Seeing as how basic/classic of a concept werewolves are it sure seems that the great werewolf movies are few and far between... it's almost like they're cursed... <br /><br />Still, I'll go see it for Del Toro and his monster.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-36615280411615481652010-02-12T20:13:12.358-08:002010-02-12T20:13:12.358-08:00Thanks Carl - if you really have a hate-on against...Thanks Carl - if you really have a hate-on against CG I don't know if this will be to your liking but if you can see it on the cheap, give it a try.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-39228145348464992382010-02-12T18:26:21.463-08:002010-02-12T18:26:21.463-08:00Ugh..

This isnt the first (no the last, Im sure) positive review I have read today, and as morally objected as I am to the digusting overuse of CG in the film, Im going to have to see it. Soon.

I had fun with it but I'd advise keeping your expectations on the low end. <br /><br />Bob, I agree that all the meddling has taken a toll on the movie. It's a shame as there's a lot that Johnston and co. get right. I still enjoyed myself for the most part but I'm hoping the extended cut on DVD will be an improvement.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-85420059736850019202010-02-12T07:54:42.789-08:002010-02-12T07:54:42.789-08:00Without a doubt Baker made one hell of a monster, ...Without a doubt Baker made one hell of a monster, and the CGI transformations looked great (although what was up with that CGI deer and bear?). I enjoyed most of the scenes of carnage, too. Kind of like if Paul Naschy had been given a budget. But as you say, there are problems with other aspects of the film, and for me those problems just kept piling up until I couldn't enjoy myself. This definitely has the feel of a movie that went through a lot of post production tinkering.Bob Igniziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630416222197419152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-57578017590545643872010-02-12T07:54:02.402-08:002010-02-12T07:54:02.402-08:00As always, great review.
