Upgrade, but not much improvement...

Period piece...good. Cinematography...good. Art/set decoration...good. Costumes...good. Interesting twist to the new story. CGI's...good. Now for the bad parts(2).
1. Gore was gratuitous. Touring the slaughter was a bit much...seeing mutilated bodies & body parts (a little dab'll do ya.).
2. Best feature of the original was missing from remake...REMORSE. In the original, Talbot suffers tremendous remorse after killing his victims. This torment drives him into a suicidal mindset that makes the audience sympathize with the "Wolfman". In the original, when he is finally destroyed, he returns to his normal form with a peaceful look on his face...the peace he could never find while he was alive. This element was not emphasized in the remake.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
