I remember watching "The Wolfman" in theaters and being blown away by how well done this film was and then years later seeing on IMDB that it only scored a 5.8 rating and just scratching my head wondering if I missed something. Now I'm 2021 I Just rewatched it on Netflix and it's still a phenomenal movie! Absolutely incredible! I can't imagine how this movie could have been any better! I believe this movie should be rated along the same lines as "Sleepy Hallow!" I give it a 9/10!All the actors are great but a huge surprise is Hugo Weaving in the Sherlock Holmes style detective hot on the case of whether or not Lawrence(Benicio Del Toro) is a werewolf or not! I'd love to give spoilers but I won't! It's just a must watch film!

The Wolfman its a remake of the 1941 horror classic The Wolfman, both movies are really good and rely on their atmosphere and their effects.This movie its actually a bit better than the original but its a very disliked film, for some reason.The film has everything that you want from a horror monster movie, the Gothic atmosphere, the gore, the effects, the characters.The make up effects are the work of Rick Baker, who has worked on another really good werewolf film, American Werewolf In London.The directors cut its amazing, I don't know if the original Theatrical release had this much gore, but its great anyway.The film takes the best from the original universal classics and the best from the Hammer era, a must from horror fans.

I really don't understand all the bad reviews of this movie. The only explanation that I can figure out is that those people watched it with a lot of expectations and they did not found what they were looking for, or they just went to see that movie being in the wrong moodย I must admit that I had to watch it twice in order to give it a 10 out of 10. The first time I gave a 7. The second time I really watched it with a clear mind and I really was able to appreciate each frame of itย The actors are perfect, the camera framing is a delight to watch, the costumes are fabulous and each line of the script is well written. It is rare that I give a higher rating at a second viewing, but this movie is that kind of masterpiece
