I was watching a terrible werewolf film with Kevin Sorbo earlier today, and it got me to thinking about better werewolf films. The strongest one in recent memory that I'd seen was The Wolfman in 2010.
When it was first announced that a remake of The Wolfman was coming, I was pretty excited. I mean, werewolves are awesome. And then I read that Benecio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving were cast. A great cast. The trailer was awesome.
However, when I went to watch it, it was... disappointing.
The film looked gorgeous, the cast was fantastic, I loved the transformation and what Del Toro looked like as the Wolfman, and I loved the second act, but the whole pace felt really off, and the final confrontation left a lot to be desired, and I left the theater feeling... empty. I haven't seen the film since I watched it in the theater, and I read that there's an extended cut that restores 17 minutes, so I'll probably check it out to see if it's better. I wish there was more of Lawrence going crazy and the rampage in London. Loved the trippy dream sequence and everyone's performances. But at the end of the day, the film... felt hollow.
Another film I was excited about, but was an even greater disappointment, was The Black Dahlia.
I was expecting something in the vein of LA Confidential, one of my favourite films and one of the best films of the 90s. The director was good, Brian de Palma, it had a great cast, and again, interesting trailer. But unlike the Wolfman, which had some redeeming features, The Black Dahlia...
fucking sucked. It was a terrible film. To this day, my friends still complain that I have a shit day in movies cause I dragged them to The Black Dahlia.
So what movies were you guys excited for based on concept, those involved, stuff like that, and then after watching it, you just felt disappointment?

Edit: At least try and give a reason why, don't just post a poster or title and not explain.
