OH MY LORD, WHAT A SH*TTY MOVIE !!!! Spoilers !

Ok, I dont know what I was thinking when I decided to check out this movie, I was kindda hoping for some good ol' werewolf holocaust with plenty guts and gore... instead I got a wise-crackin', teenage raping werewolf with a bad hair day... wtf???

Anyhow, Gore was alright, but honestly, wtf where they thinking!??!?! Is it so hard to make a freakin' werewolf movie that's frightning, think about it... almost all entries in the genre I can think of are weak, not scary or just plain stupid, think: Cursed, The Howling, Company of Wolves, Silver Bullit, Underworld 1 + 2 (cool action flick tho), Ginger Snaps etc etc. Honestly I can only come up with two decent flicks that captured the werewolf genre nicely, the first was Dog Soldiers (despite their budget limitations) and the second, which isn't even a werewolf movie but a vamp movie, was Dracula (in the scenes where he appears as a werewolf).

The wolf in this movie was total sh*t, everytime the movie got remotely interesting, he started to crack jokes and "taunting" his victims with half ass jokes that would drive any sane teenager into wanting to kill them selves off before falling vicitm to Chris Rock in latex and weak make up.

Premise: some kids go to a cabin to get their *beep* on, big bad wolf appears, rips most of them to shreds after taunting them with some extremely bad lines, 2 of them survives and now they have to find out who the werewolf is (the suspense is pretty much NON existing as it is clearly indicated that the wolf may be one of the kids "evil" and "abusive" stepdad. The whole thing is so lame it could easily have been an episode of Supernatural or "The Days of Our lives" for that matter...

Avoid if Ur looking for a nice werewolf flick, check it out if U can look past a talking furball with lame jokes !

Have you looked at what's been released in the genre lately, especially direct-to-video? At least some effort went into this one. Now, if Uwe Boll directed a werewolf film, THAT would be a SH*TTY movie!

If you thought GINGER SNAPS was a bad movie, and that the werewolf scenes in DRACULA were great, then I'm glad you didn't like BIG BAD WOLF.

Just saying they were better than most werewolf flicks today, despite not being a wolf movie...

I hope you die. Seriously.

Ginger Snaps??? Are you kidding? That was awesome & so was this! Stick to Hollywood blockbusters if you don't understand good movies. You probably love stuff by Michael Bay.

Hey guys, I think the film turned out rather well, I am very proud of it, if you don't also like it then hey, everyone has a difference of opinion. Thanks to all of you fans who have enoyed it and continued to support it!

Well, everyone has their own taste I suppose, yet it's odd to see you mention some of the better werewolf movies as being bad (Ginger Snaps). I mean, two of the best (probably the best) werewolf movies ever made (An American Werewolf in London and The Howling) weren't even mentioned by you. Ah well, like I said, to each their own.

Still, as I said in my review of the movie, Big Bad Wolf is a nice change in the genre. Dog Soldiers and Ginger Snaps were good, but after abominations such as Dark Wolf and Cursed, this is a pleasant surprise.

"almost all entries in the genre I can think of are weak, not scary or just plain stupid, think: Cursed, The Howling, Company of Wolves, Silver Bullit, Underworld 1 + 2 (cool action flick tho)"

so u checked out a movie of a genre that you knew beforehand that u didn't like. what did u expect?
btw, there are plenty of people who don't like the Reno 911 tv show, and guess what. they didn't like the movie either. weird, hunh?

I actually liked it a lot , probably due to the fact that i was not expecting it to be more then average .

I was not inspecting anything from this movie so i appreciated it for what it is and had a great time .Can t believe TC think Ginger snaps was weak .

Off to try and rent Silver Bullit .

Goes to show his lack of knowledge when An American Werewolf in London wasn't even listed. One of the greatest werewolf films of all time and An American Werewolf in Paris, one of the worst ever in the genre. Then Ginger Snaps and Silver Bullet were listed as bad, two very good flicks as was this one. As for Cursed, I rather enjoyed that movie, might be just because Christina Ricci was in it though, lol.

The Howling, Silver Bullet, and Ginger Snaps were good movies, I agree they shouldn't have made him talk in wolf form which cheapened the effect and making who the wolf truly was so obvious.

I thought it was pretty entertaining.
