Come for the girl, die for the girl

Among the three human variants on the screen, the werewolf has the least influence. As vampire slaves, although they have the strongest single combat effectiveness, they are restricted by the time limit for transformation, and cannot fight protracted battles. At the same time, it is difficult to achieve the advantage of zombies as a group. Although they were infected in the same way, because of the powerful destructive power of werewolves, few people survived under their hands, which was fatal to the continuation of the population. In terms of styling, apart from being a bit more mighty than the equivalent of brain-dead zombies, the werewolf is really hard to attract the attention of girls like a noble and elegant vampire, and the loss of sanity after transforming has basically cut off their on-screen love. the road. One can't dominate the world like zombies, and second, can't pamper yourself like a vampire and pick up girls by the way. There is no country or beauty. A werewolf who doesn't care for his mother and doesn't love is simply the cup itself.

Back to this film, Benicio Del Toro's werewolf perfectly interprets the word miserable, coming for the girl, and dying for the girl. The plot flow is basically like this: I was found by the girl-bitten by the father-killed by the girl-killed by the girl. There is also the torture of idiotic scientists who do human experiments, killing and killing. I didn't waste Del Toro's painful face without makeup. As for the culprit, Emily Blunt, since she exposed her solid chest muscles in the War of Charlie Wilson, she has become more and more reserved. In this film, it is only a flash in Del Toro's fantasy that reveals a little side. Bob, the rest of the time is like zongzi. But even the remaining neck is enough to make Del Toro lose his mind, what a lascivious breath! And father Anthony Hopkins is more pursued, killing his wife, killing his son and killing the whole family, really has the style of a master. When you are happy, you will play the piano and the harmonica, and you will laugh at key moments (yelling). The old Jianghu really knows that regardless of the decent villain's protagonist and supporting role, personality is the king's iron law! In contrast, Hugo Weaving was unfortunately reduced to a human flesh board, pretending to be very strong, but in fact super weak, bad marksmanship, and poor commanding power, only a look of horror. And in the end, he became the star of the non-existent sequel, which is so embarrassing.

The plot of the film is uneventful, with neither major success nor major failure. If you cut your budget a bit, starlight less, and splash a bit more plasma, you will basically become a bloodsucking Lane. There is only one move to scare people-surprise, other horror scenes are more like funny scenes. The final battle-the two bears fight (really more like bears, especially the old man, transformed into Pooh, so kawaii), there is neither beauty nor power, but also uses the old-fashioned protagonist's aura. Isn't the drunkard's intention not to drink, but to pay tribute. The shortcomings are too numerous to list, but the advantages are not without them. The art design is first-class, and the editing is not bad. But the script is not good, and the skin is not saved.

The Wolfman quotes

  • Colonel Montford: [Sir John shoots a statue next to Colonel Montford causing him to fall off his horse] My eyes... Damn you, Talbot!

    Sir John Talbot: I'm sorry, Colonel. I meant to shoot you. Sadly, I'm not quite the marksman I used to be... I must be getting old.

  • Lawrence Talbot: I must confess, I envy my brother. The days he had with you, what joy he must have felt. I would have given anything I own to have known you in another life. I must get back to Talbot Hall and end this.
