Out of sheer laziness, here is the synopsus provided by IMDb:
"Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. His father sent him from the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor to an insane asylum, then he goes to America. When his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns to his father's estate to learn that his brother's mauled body has been found. Reunited with his estranged father, Lawrence sets out to find his brother's killer... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Someone or something with brute strength and insatiable blood lust has been killing the villagers, and a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline comes to investigate."
Yup, Del Toro looks meh as a werewolf (have I given too much away?). He doesn't exactly impress or frighten and his acting skills are cringe inducing leaving me to wonder why he's considering such a great actor, perhaps it's just the movie that's doing it to me, I dunno. Hopkins plays the same character he plays in all his movies, the gruff, wise man with something mysterious about him. Emily Blunt is really hot, like wow. Umm...
Umm, yeah, stay away from this movie, this isn't just a slow movie, a lot of slow movies are rather good, this is just boring and I just feel apathetic about the whole thing. Ugh.
This gets 2 Roger Eberts (out of 5)
