The Wolfman 2010Based on the 1941 classic, The Wolfman follows Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) who returns to Blackmoor in search of his brother. There he reunites with his father (Anthony Hopkins) and his brother’s fiancée Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) while hauntings of his past start to resurface. After being attacked by a wolf, he of course begins to take on a transformation. The movie is a great update of the original with a dark atmosphere and solid performances. I have to admit it started slow for me, but it kicked in during the second half. The transformation scene in front of the scholars and the wolf vs. wolf showdown are amongst my favorite scenes. I enjoyed this film very much after it got going; overall a nicely done update of the werewolf classic. IMDb/trailers/clips | Official movie site
