Critic's review of The Wolfman

- Del Toro, with his melancholy-brute features, endows this raging beast with some of the ''Why me?'' poignance you may remember from Lon Chaney Jr.'s performance in the original.

  don't worry
  
  Paid £3 for this DVD and quite frankly that was about all it was worth. So don't worry that its not on the rental list - you are not missing much.

  I fell asleep
  
  The movie was so boring I fell asleep watching it. The story was boring, the characters were boring, the whole film bored me to sleep. Not recommended.
