Aside from the great special effects, this movie was really quite bad considering the caliber of actors Hopkins and Del Toro. The revelation towards the end Hopkins was the first wolfman was tainted when also revealed he had killed his wife, other son, and now wanted to kill his second son, (Del Toro), whom he had turned into a wolfman when biting him earlier in the movie. The plot betrays you as father shows affection for his son in the beginning and the turn of events makes you angry the movie didn't move you the way Dracula with Frank Langela did where passion and love are wonderfully portrayed. I'm glad I at least went on a discounted ticket with free drink and popcorn to boot.
The movie itself was great, however, I believe we were misled to believe the theater was going to be a true Imax screen, those huge screens that actually curve around the edges. This screen was a normal movie screen and, in spite of the 3d effects, was a real letdown. Have you heard of truth in advertising?
