Well, Wolfman really wasn't that good, dude. Certainly not a masterpiece. Not as overrated as a Will Smith film, but still rather mediocre.
I'll disagree for a few reasons. The Wofman had a lot of really deep themes on family, societies prejudices, guilt, fear, honesty and religion. It had some extremely deep characters with great arcs and creative, emotionally compelling backstories, phenomenal acting, creepy and fantastic cinematography, pulse-pounding action and an extremely emotional ending. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I would say watch me and reviewreviewer1's review for more if you're still not buying it, but it's over 1 hour long if only to emphasize how underrated it is, and it's essentially done in slideshow form, and he talks fast (If you can handle that, maybe you'll like it)And not all Will Smith films were overrated. I think everybody can agree that Wild, Wild West, Seven Pounds and Shark Tale suck haha, I bet even Smith tries to forget that he turned down roles like The Matrix for garbage like that.
"The Wofman had a lot of really deep themes on family, societies prejudices, guilt, fear, honesty and religion.

Actually I have, several. Last King of Scotland, many Robert Ludlum books (The Tristan Betrayal, The Road to Omaha, ALL the Bourne books including the ones not written by him, and The Parsifal Mosaic) ever made several Cormac McCarthy (The Road and No Country For Old Men) and Stephen King books (Stephen King's It, Carrie, The Stand and Thinner). There is no need to get snappy, it's just an opinion. Could you at the very least give me a chance to explain myself instead of just automatically dismissing me and laughing at me for having a different opinion? That is what this thread is about, and I'd think as a man who has many unpopular opinions you'd be more accepting And yes, it did. The theme on family was well portrayed through Lawrence's relationship with his father, and that sometimes the hardest thing for us to do is seperate ourselves from our family members even if they have a corrupt influence on us, like Lawrence did to Sir John. There is also a deep theme of guilt; Sir John Talbot is consumed and eventually destroyed by his guilt, becoming so consumed by it nothing matters. Lawrence is plagued with guilt over being selfish and not being with his brother simply because of his relationship with his father. There is a deep theme of fear, with Lawrence Talbot confronting his fears of both his past with Lambeth asylum, his inner demons and rage, and the death of his mother. It shows that examining these fears won't always help you in the end, but for the greater good it can be important. Sir John also is faced with confronting his own fears of his past and what he is becoming, but denies them leading to the people he loves suffering.The themes on honesty are very present in the romance, as Lawrence becomes more honest with Gwen telling her his backstory about his childhood in an asylum, admitting to his own self loathing, and admitting that he loved and wanted her when she was with Ben. You could argue the biggest reason Gwen and Lawrence fall in love is because of Lawrence's honesty. Sir John Talbot is dishonest throughout the film (And there is some REALLY great symbolism with this when he is blowing out candles; symbolizing him keeping the family "in the dark" persay, covering up the truth), leading to him becoming depressed and him losing everything that matters to him.The themes on religion are there too! As we see earlier in the film, Lawrence dismisses his father's religious quotes as lunacy, nothing more than the ramblings of the natural world. He is a man of the civilized world; a aristocrat, a thespian, a celebrity. "Religion" is beneath him. However, as we see later, Lawrence finds God in Gwen's antique shop, realizing he is not a part of the natural world, but a source of hope and love when no one else but Gwen is there for him.Need I continue?
Not really. You've already developed most of those themes more than the movie actually did.

Have you seen the Unrated edition? They are more clear there. I'm not asking you to agree with me, I just want you to understand why I love this movie and simply respect my opinion. The last thing I want you to think is that I'm just some stupid kid who doesn't read, defending a movie because it had cool action and CGI. Hell, Transformers and Avatar are some of my least favorite movies of all time.
