This is not a factory werewolf movie. It's so much better than that.
By far the greatest things were the technical achievements in the movie (for example the cinematography, costumes, art direction, and makeup effects)
Benicio Del Toro is tragic as the iconic monster and Anthony Hopkins is especially creepy
I enjoyed it more the second time I saw it because I realized it is an homage to the classic "B" horror films of the 30's and 40's. It does not try to be a reboot in any way and that is one of it's strengths
The extended cut is even more superior to the theatrical version. There are more scenes of dialogue then originally...It is obvious that the edits of only about seventeen minutes have a large difference on the overall feel of the film and the way the audience is able to connect to the characters
The cuts were a bad idea and I believe the studio should have left the extra footage there
One of the problems is that when the wolfman runs on all fours to gain speed he has no weight. He looks like a CGI creation which he is
I recommend the Extended Cut over the Theatrical Cut
