Movie review: The Wolfman

The Wolfman
Duration: about 120 minutes.

Synopsis: Lawrence Talbot is a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estrange father, Talbot sets out to find his brother, and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. His childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleep Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. His brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself, ... one he never imagined exists.

My views: this movie is not for weak hearts, from beginning to end, they will try to scare you by the sound effects for at least 10 times. but every part was kind of expected, except one, which made me jump. storyline is not bad, but still way below Underworld. when they are transforming into the werewolves, it's pretty cool. lots of blood and semi-gory scenes.

Ratings: 3 out of 5! watch it only if you have too much time to spare!
