Movie Review: The Wolfman

I surprised Danielle when she met me in Perth after work today for lunch. I had organized for a couple of the girls from work to come so that she could catch up with them.

We went to Ruby Thai which is great value and was delicious.

Danielle & I then headed over to Innaloo to see a movie, the only thing playing at a convenient time was The Wolfman.

Anthony Hopkins is a great actor, don’t get me wrong, but the last few movies I have seen him in he has been, um, crap. Sorry, but that is my opinion.

I also don't see what the fuss is about Benicio Del Toro – he is not good looking and he can probably act, but this film did him no favours. Sure the special effects were good, but there were times when the effects looked like something out of a b grade movie from the 80’s.

Both of us were disappointed by the movie. Give this a miss when it comes out on DVD.

Plot: Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman, is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancée, 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.
