The Wolfman

what an absolute mess of a film. There are good performances from Benecio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt, but they are lost amidst a confusing weak and distorted script and story. one of my main problems with is the lack of tension, even though it is desperately trying to create some. The moments where the scary jumpy bits are suppossed to be, mainly when the wolfman is attacking people, come and go as if nothing has happened - they are literally the least jumpy bits of film jumpy bits i've ever seen in a film.

It also doesn't help that when they are in their "wolf form" del Toro appears to stay in his normal human clothes and walks around on two feet - so that he bears more resemblance to michael j fox's teen wolf than anything remotely scary.

There is no character arc or developement throughout the whole film, there doesnt seem to be any developement with del toro specifically even though he becomes a werewolf during the film, but all the characters pretty much remain the same. Plot holes are skimmed over as if they never happened, and the whole thing is a big jumbly mess.

Twilight Saga: New Moon

Going in to watch this, I can't say I wasn't bias against it. I suspected it would be bad, no... I knew it would be. If it had turned out to be vaguely good I would have give it credit, like 2012 which I thought would be also bad. But there was no possibility of me liking this movie... it was awful. Bad acting, bad script and poorly executed. Bella was some kind of psycho crying and screaming for months on end because her anorexic pale faced 107 year old virgin boyfriend goes away. What did they even have in common? They just stood around being pasty telling each other, "I love you." , "I love you!", "I can't live without you." and so on. And she can't get with the guy who's ripped and she actually having fun with? Bitch needs to be slapped and told to get some waffles... and get them for free!

You will not like this movie if you are over sixteen years old or if you are male. This is for teenage girls and the gay audience. It is painfully slow moving and dull. I found myself having to find fun in the awful dialog, "I'm coming!" "You can't come." "You don't want me to come?!"
It would be easy to go into even more detail why this movie is so bad, but I just can't bare to think about it anymore.

Avoid... like the plague.
