As much as I despise remakes / sequels.. This remake of 1941's The Wolf Man, was very well done.. Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Hugo Weaving all made this movie something to enjoy. The acting was on point, even though Anthony Hopkins at times had some awkward moments in his script. As far as excitement / action / horror are concerned, this movie had a very fair share of all of the above.

It was not overdone, as to overshadow the stories behind the Wolfman himself, it was very well placed and also well balanced enough to keep your attention there. Something lacking with alot of movies as of late. If you do not like movies based in another time period, this is definitely not for you. Hugo Weaving's character was supposedly the police officer whom headed the Ripper case, as per say in the movie. So this is around 1889 - 1892.

A time of class, gypsies, serial killers, brothels, whores everywhere. Sounds like fun, but not to people whom love movies based on current events and current fashions.

All in all I enjoyed this movie. I would have enjoyed it more if I did not watch it with an older couple behind me talking for the remaining 40 minutes of the movie. -_-
