The Wolfman
Actually think this looks pretty good. Not "omg this looks great", but I've been steadily interested in it and the trailer pleased me.

I'm a sucker for werewolf movies. I don't know why, but I'm just a fan. The problem is, there aren't many of them. And of the few that there are, not too many are really any good.
They haven't gotten the exploration or popularity that Zombies and Vampires have in recent years. For whatever reason they've never been as popular, but they're even less popular now. Maybe they'll be the next big thing.
I'm glad they're staying with a period peice approach to it, and it doesn't look overly modernized or action packed. It seems to focus on the Wolfman, and 1800s society, rather than big setpeices.
Not a big fan of remakes in general, but this is one that doesn't seem too uncalled for. The original Wolfman is great, but there hasn't been any modern take on it.
I feel similarly about as I do King Kong and Guiellermo Del Toro's Frankenstein remake. It doesn't sound as good as those, but in theory its just as valid.
I guess I'm okay with movies that are 50+ years old getting another chance, rather than ones that are younger than me. |
