WOLFMAN

I have to say that I really wasn't looking forward to the new Wolfman movie.  The main reason why is because I really can't stand Benico del Toro.  I don't know why people think he's such a great actor, I think he sucks.  And let me tell you he doesn't disappoint me in the movie at all.  If you have no idea about the Wolfman then get out from the rock you have been living under.  It is one of the cornerstone villains of horror movies.  Anyways its about a man who goes back to his home after hearing that his brother has been horribly killed.  He wants to go back and find out what happens.  He hasn't seen his daddy in a long long time.  Dad is played by Anthony Hopkins who by the way is over the fuckin' hill and needs to hang it up.  Anyway he finds out that a horrific beast has killed his brother.  Of course he finds the beast on top of him biting him and turning him into a Warewolf.  So let me just say that this is one of the better movies when it comes to blood and guts.  Because it actually shows guts.  There's a scene that shows some guys intestines on the ground.  Another that shows the Wolfman eating a guys stomach and ripping his liver out.  Now with all that being said the acting is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This could be the worst acted movie I have EVER seen.  I mean Benico is a Spanish guy playing a Brit that moves to America and still has no accent whatsoever.  Could he not do an English accent????  Just say spot of tea over and over again.  But the worst acting comes in the last scene that was supposed to be very touching and I along with the rest of theatre broke out laughing.  I have to say if they would have gotten ANYONE who knows how to act I might have liked this movie, but I'm said to say that I HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!
