The Wolfman Review: Teabag has been bitten!!!!!!!!
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may see the Wolfman movie when the wolfbane blooms and decide if it's all right!
Well I'm not good at reviews and I dont want to tell any spoilers so im just going to say what i thought about the movie.
Ok maybe one spoiler............

Now that the important part has been revealed... What did I think of the Wolfman remake? First I was very happy with the overall atmosphere that Johnston provided for the movie. I couldn't help but get caught up in the gloomy shadows and fog like I did with the original and later Hammer offerings. The woods and London set pieces are a gem to watch and give a better feeling of the time period then recent efforts did--such as Sherlock Holmes. The FX are also quite good which I was worried about the most. The creature changing works much better on the big screen than it does in the trailers.
The plot varied a little from 1940 movie, but had plenty of nods, which is a good thing as it needed some more 'meat on the bone' but it also makes it uneven--sometimes feeling like the story is being added as you watch.
Benicio Del Toro and Mr. Hopkins deliver good performances as you expect but feel slightly subdued leaving the most memorable duties to Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt. These two added much needed emotion and sparkle to the whole thing.
Johnston has done a great job with the action, especially with the first killing spree and London chase. My favorite part is at the end. I will not go into detail but it gave me a sense of the kind of CBM we can expect with Captain America.
I decided not to give a plot summary because it's best to go in with the memmories of the Lon Channey Jr version and go from there. Overall this is not a perfect film but one I enjoyed a great deal, and one that I had so much fun watching and will watch again.
Again I'm not good at reviews but hope this is helpful
Wolfman...= Bloody good action, Howling good fun with some extra blood on the side

It's being reported that Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049) is set to reteam with his The Place Beyond the Pines and Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance for Universal's upcoming Wolfman movie!
Universal's Dark Universe is one of the most high-profile failures in recent memory, but Jason Blum has now revealed that he's hoping to find a way to resurrect the rebooted movie series for Blumhouse.
In news which should make horror fans very happy, it's been announced that Universal has hired The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell to helm the upcoming Wolfman reboot starring Ryan Gosling...
Following the blockbuster success of Leigh Whannell's The Invisible Man, Universal is all set to reimagine Wolfman and have finally found their star in 2x Academy Award-nominee Ryan Gosling.
It seems Universal is still high on getting Dwayne Johnson and Angelina Jolie on board to play The Wolfman and the Bride of Frankenstein, respectively, in their Dark Universe. More past the jump...
