This movie feels rushed because it was. It feels like it was pieced together hastily from ill-fitting pieces because it was.
It's clear Jeff Davis was trying to write the movie even as he wasn't sure who from the cast of characters was returning, and who wasn't.
The best part of this movie is Tyler Hoechlin, and he's the only reason I watched it and the only reason I suggest anyone watch it. Somehow, despite juggling Superman and Lois filming at the same time (and having to switch between two different characters), he actually showed up. Regardless of what I think of Derek Hale's overall plot line in the movie, Tyler brought the best he could to the role, he brought heart and soul to an otherwise empty movie.
It baffles me that so many of the other cast feel like they phoned it in -- of course the writing utterly failed them, so it's not all their fault.
I understand why fans are upset, I understand why they feel let down. Because looking at Teen Wolf Season 3, you see the potential of these characters. You can see that with some actual care, the show could be great and if production had been allowed more time, maybe this movie could have been better since it's clear Season 3 was the inspiration. I have to think that, at least in part, this movie failed due to being rushed through to serve as a promotional tool for Wolf Pack, and nothing more. And sadly, it shows in nearly every frame.
