Wolf Man Didn't Completely Work

 


So when I saw the trailers for Wolf Man, I personally thought it looked somewhat promising. Then I saw the reviews, and was disheartened. I was hoping that maybe critics were being too harsh (several of them are) and just decided to see for myself regardless. The movie obviously centered on a man who got scratched by a were-wolf and slowly began turning into one himself, which unfortunately placed his wife and daughter in danger.

I understand what the movie was trying to do as It mainly focuses on the transformation. I think it was attempting to go to a direction similar to The Fly. Unfortunately, it didn't completely work. The problem was that the pacing was so slow to the point where there was a minimal amount of scares in the movie. The dialogue was also an issue. It did not feel natural, it felt very forced and even got slightly cheesy at times.

In terms of the positives, the acting was very good. Christopher Abbott was a very good Wolfman. His acting was convincing, the character himself was likeable, and you felt genuinely sorry for him as he transformed. The writing wasn't completely bad, there were actually moments where it was relatively strong. Mainly involving the dynamic between both parents and their daughter. The relationship between the titular character and the daughter was easily the best part of the movie, but I also enjoyed how at first Julie Garner's character didn't have much of a relationship with her daughter. But as her husband slowly began to lose it, she started to take the lead. I do feel there could've been a little bit more development in terms of Garner's lack of a relationship with her daughter, but it was still surprisingly a smooth transition for her character. There was also somewhat of a twist in the movie that I liked as well.

Overall, the movie wasn't terrible. But I really wish it was better than this, especially with the positives that I've listed. Can you imagine what an amazing movie it would've been had it been made correctly? Oh well. Thanks For Reading

American Idol 2025 Day 2: Top 24

  I would like to say that for the first week of live shows, a good majority of contestants either did REALLY good or better than they should have. I personally was very impressed with the last 2 days. With that being said, I still gotta rank. Today I will be ranking every single performance from worst to best. This ranking is solely based on my opinion. If you have not read last week's introduction, I highly suggest you read that first before this ranking;   Worst Performance Of The Week:  Baylee Littrell Happy - Pharrell This really kills me. Not sure what he was thinking with this song choice #23: Josh King I'm Still Standing - Elton John Him and Baylee equally sucked. But at least this song was more in Josh's league #22: Olivier Bergeron   I'm Not Okay - Jelly Roll He's kind of bland to me #21: Desmond Roberts Do I Do - Stevie Wonder Needs to calm down a little #20: John Foster Callin' Baton Rouge - Various Also kind of bland #19: Kyana Fanene I Am - St...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
