Or does it? We have clearly crossed the line with this movie classic. I almost wonder whether seeing the upcoming Creature from the Black Lagoon remake will be worth it.. and the problem is not plot as much as it is story-telling technique. Now that we have truly good cgi, we can see the monster at its most fantastic but without suspense. I think the problem has to be time, movie-makers are stuck on the idea of keeping films short and as a result something has to suffer. Honestly, Sam Raimi makes better horror, showing less, or just glimpses and drawing out the suspense.
But enough of that, if you haven't already seen this movie, this is what to expect: a good cast, wonderful photography, great cgi and a story that leaves you wishing there was more exposition and introspection. Anthony Hopkins is absolutely great, I was very pleased with his performance. Benicio is not as memorial in this role as he was in Sin City as Jackie Boy, but then different character. The Lawrence Talbot character is a man supposedly haunted by a terrible past. Again, a missed chance - more exposition please! Movie-makers rethink your time limits!
