I'm surprised by the low ratings The Wolfman gets. Surprised yes and no because I've giving up since a long time deciding whether or not I should watch a movie based solely on the ratings. Too much people rate mediocre movies with the highest score possible whilst perfectly good entertaining movies are being bashed. The Wolfman is entertaining, certainly in the lycanthrope genre, a genre that had multiple bad movies in the past, but this one is one for the "good werewolf movies list". The cast is full of excellent actors like Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and others. The cinematography was what I liked the most about this movie, a nice dark tone of imaging added something special to the ambiance. It's not a wonder it won an Oscar for make-up as that was also one of the better things about The Wolfman. The story could have been better, I won't deny that, but all the rest made up for it. The Wolfman is underrated certainly in this genre.
