I had high hopes for this movie, as I grew up on classic B/W horror flix like the Wolfman, Mummy, Frankenstein, etc. But this version had minimal plot to follow and the plot that existed was even a little confusing. The movie generated no feelings for any of the characters, and I couldn't figure out why one of the main characters was in it at all. Lon Chaney, Jr.'s characterization of the angst-ridden wolfman was head-and-shoulders above del Toro's. I love B films, and enjoy a good bad-movie. This movie was a bad bad-movie and relied too heavily on mediocre effects and audio for surprise. Regardless, Hopkins and Weaving were fun to watch. Del Toro and Emily Blunt were fair at best.
