The Wolfman (5/10)

It has a very classical story, it's almost like everything jumped out from one of those classic Penguin story books. But having said that, everything was just too predictable. Once you can see the ending, it's just a matter of going through the motion. No mystery was left and, for a science fiction story like this one, didn't bode well.Furthermore, the CGI didn't get enough investment. Sure we saw how the man transformed into a wolf, but we never got to see what it looked like in full form, in its entirety, in all its grand mysticism. The wolf did a lot of running, and all we saw was either very close-up shots or very distant shots; both of which never showed any detail.So when the story wasn't any good, and the CGI wasn't any impressive, what's left? Luckily the acting wasn't too bad, except for Benicio Del Toro's accent which he lost more than a few times. I could only wished Hugo Weaving had more to do. Every he spoke he seemed to have an innate ability to draw the audience in with every word uttered.I read somewhere that the director actually shot two different endings. The other being having the other character dies instead of the one we got to see. I think the alternate ending would have been better, could have invoked more emotions on the audience.
