Nothing special

It's a bad sign when one has almost forgotten a movie only an hour after leaving the theatre, but that's about where I am with The Wolfman. I can't really say that any part of it really leapt out at me. Well, except for Anthony Hopkins' scenery chewing. None of the jump scares got me and I laughed at scenes I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be laughing at. Most of the acting (or was it the dialogue?) was tired and uninteresting and the two romantic leads had no chemistry AT ALL.

It wasn't a terrible movie. It's really just a boring movie which might be worse than being terrible. Last year at this time, I was still seething one day later about the remake of Friday the 13th. My anger has only slightly subsided lo these many months later. I can still recall every damn thing I hated about that movie. This time next year, I'll likely have forgotten I even saw this film.
