Why I didn’t like The Wolfman

My inability to enjoy a movie with the amazing cast of Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and an uncredited appearance by Max von Sydow puzzles me. I have three theories why.

1. Was it the fact that Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro are playing father and son in horror remake “The Wolfman” and I’d sooner believe in werewolves than believe for a second that those guys are related in any way.

2. Was it the fact that the movie takes place in England 1891. Wherein I don’t like the costumes, I hate seeing the actors struggle to sound British, and the lack of technology scares me more than being ripped to shreds by Wolfman claws. I basically have a problem with movies that occur in a different time. (With the exception of the Back to the Future-trilogy)

3. Or was it the fact that the movie just wasn’t good.

I don’t know. I just don’t know.
