New Wolfman film

[BobRob]

Just finished watching the remake of The Wolfman and was wondering what you guys thought about it? I am still a huge fan of the original and watching the new version has not changed my mind at all. No amout of special effects can beat good old Lon jr as Larry Talbot!
Still I would like to hear your comments.

Well..I haven't seen it, and more than likely never will...I refuse to watch it due to the idiotic storyline 
My problem is...if yer gonna remake a movie,then follow the dang storyline, if not..then change the title..

[The Creeper]

The original is still better, but I do like the new one a lot!  The things they changed in my opinion really didn't hurt the story, but kinda made it really good.  But I still love the original and would watch it first before the remake.

If one views them as two entirely separate films, each can be appreciated for what they are, and contain.

I like both.

I agree with Opera Ghost.
You have to judge both films on their own merit.
Each has their + and - .
Personally I  enjoyed the DVD Directors cut of the New Wolfman much
more than the theatrical release.

back atcha 63MK....I like the Directors cut better.

The original is far better with more sympathetic characters, but the remake is definately worthy of a viewing or two. I agree with the others, the directors cut is superior.

You are cheating yourself.  Obviously it can never replace the original. It idnt even try, hence the new storyline.  But it is an alternate take on the Talbot saga. Give it a look.  After all, you wouldnt shy away from Curse of the Werewolf, Steven Ritch's Werewolf, Werewolf of London, American Werewolf in London, etc.al  just because the story was different.  C'mon--from one mad doctor to another--give it a go.

You may be surprised that you enjoyed it Doc. No, it's not the original, but it's pretty close with some new flavor and a vicious Wolf Man as well.

Red Box has it for a dollar a night.

looking at it as a remake I dont like it

but when I look at it  as a werewolf movie...its good

[Wicked Lester]

I have the directors cut version and like it alot. It kinda reminded me of a big budget hammer film in some areas. The only slight drawback is when seeing the deleted scenes ,they should have left them in.
The werewolf battle was a bit too "superheroish" looking but still cool.

[Universal Horror]

The original is one of my favourite movies, so I was very interested in seeing the remake.

And it's not bad, IMHO. Some cool gory moments, an effective gothic tone throughout, and if you watch the director's cut, a great cameo by Max Von Sydow.
