I'm praying that you were trying to be ironic and/or sarcastic.

I'm looking forward to Shutter Island.

I'm also looking forward to Shutter Island. The book was a fun read.
But then, I also didn't hate everything about The Wolfman.

The violence was smeared on like cheap margarine to kind of make the burnt-toast plot easier to swallow. Just like the rest of the film it mostly seemed like an excuse to throw money at an effects budget.

Well, yeah, but what were you expecting? If you went looking for an in depth meditation on the differences between man and beast, or a wonderful character piece from Del Toro and Hopkins, I can see why you were disappointed.
I went hoping to see a CGI werewolf tear people into little pieces, some people talk with british accents, and while I wish the wolf had looked less like the buffy style gorilla wolf man, I was almost 100% satisfied. People got fucking eaten.
It was awesome.
Lines:
I'd have to agree. All things considered, it really wasn't that gory. It's a movie about werewolves! I wanted more blood and body parts and crazy "I'm going to hunt you down and rip you to shreds" scenes. Actually I thought Hopkins scolding Del Toro after his first night was kind of funny. I wish they'd added more things like that in there to keep it from being bland.

Someone does go missing! From a mental hospital that looks really creepy! On an island! That's all I know. It seems spooky. I have not met my spooky quota this month. I wanted to meet it yesterday, seeing as how it has become tradition to watch spooky movies on v-day, but that didn't happen.
