I only wish there was a 0/10 option. It is difficult to comprehend just how bad this movie was. Not merely bad as a sequel to a classic - just plain bad.
The actors have zero charisma. Tom Everett Scott has thankfully faded into obscurity and Julie Delpy...well, she must have improved as she has forged a successful career in European art-house romantic dramas.
The transformation scenes are just...just so bad. Again, not even comparing them to Rick Bakers masterpiece, just to any werewolf movie. The Wolfman (1941) had a better transformation.
The CGI werewolves look about half as scary as Sully in Monsters Inc.
The plot and screenplay is lazy. It takes about half of the ideas from the original and redoes them - badly. The rest of the plot was, I would have to guess, written by someone who really hated his job.
The comedy - the only stuff that works is the idea lifted from 'London' - namely the victims haunting the werewolf.
The scares - um, someone forgot to add them into the movie. The scariest thing is that this abomination saw the light of day.
Sequel elements - The love interest is the daughter of David and Alex from the first movie (Alex played in this movie by someone other than Jenny Agutter).
In trying to steer others away from this garbage, I feel I have balanced out all of the bad things I have ever done in my 36 years.
In closing, I would rather get a prostate exam from Freddy Krueger than have to sit through this steaming pile ever again.
