Great take...

Excellent pacing, great ambience. Steady levels of tension. Some plot elements are obvious (c'mon its wolfman, what did you expect?), hugo weaving is good, as well as the more central actors. Benicio does seem a little stilted during a few scenes. I loved the depiction of the actual wolfman. Action sequences were kept short enough that the tension remained-- a personal pet peave is overly long action seqences in movies. There are some nice visual effects and evokes the right mood.. There are the obligatory shape shifting scenes and gore, but I was pleased with it overall and I don't feel it stooped to being a slasher movie. The length of the film was just right for a story of its limited complexity. I really enjoyed it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Derivative sometimes eyepopping

American Indian space aliens attacked by paper thin villains. A 25 year old Marine turned 14 year-old numbskull alien falls in love with native alien that inspite of having genitalia attached to her neck wears loin cloth and kisses with her mouth.
Villains show no motivation except to quote Bush like pre-emptive war mantra, and capitalist profits first. While green blue aliens care about the planet and spirituality but resort to killing to defend their tree.
Good lord $400 million for this tripe, apparently after the effects budget, nothing was left for an actual plot.
See it on the big screen or forget it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Sex and Violence

The book was written in 1986 and the voice is accented by a particular scrawl in the text, I thought Jackies voice was perfect.
I found the music to be uninspired, some of the songs were based on those included in the novel, but some were lame.
The action was solid, not extending into overlong boring fight sequences which make me yawn during the typical action movies. They've discovered a new sound for punches too which I enjoyed.
I was shocked at the amount of the Dr Manhattans manhood that was on display and how frequently, but would have been just as put off by a blue diaper...
Great movie for adults who enjoy sex and violence
Yes, I recommend this movie.
