Movie Reviews of Wolf
Movie Review: Hated it!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Start, middle, finish. Hated it.
Another movie where Nicolson just annoys the living *&^%& out of me!!!
More like a werewolf movie for romantics.
Boring, dull, unmemorable and just plain annoying.
Lame script, dull special effects, boring directing.
I remember being happy when the ending credits finally rolled.
Another Jackie Boy clunker I should have had enough sense to get up walk out on.
From beginning to end, a disaster that I'd put in top twenty worst movies of all time.
AVOID!!!
Summary of Wolf
Sophisticated to a point, this well-executed wolf-man tale works due to its clever setting and enormous star power. We all know Jack Nicholson can go nuts, but the script makes his character aware of his changes, sometimes for the better, early on. The setting, a publishing house in the middle of a takeover, gives the characters dramatic life before the horror elements kicks in. A senior editor about to get the boot, Nicholson's character becomes a new man after being bitten by a wolf. He takes on challenges at work, lives a more robust life, and attracts a new love. But will his newfound energy consume him? Director Mike Nichols keeps the action alive in the first half, but the film peters out at the end with cheap theatrics and the overuse of slow motion. Michelle Pfeiffer has little to do as simply the love interest with a grittier than average personality. Better is James Spader as a smarmy colleague. Nicholson is in fine form, relying on his keen gift to spark interest (a twitch of the head, a look in the eyes), instead of heavy doses of movie makeup. Giuseppe Rotunno's sweeping camerawork sets the mood quite well. Easy to recommend, with the added feature it's hardly gratuitous. --Doug ThomasJack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer star in Wolf a wickedly funny wildly romantic white-knuckle thriller. James Spader Kate Nelligan Christopher Plummer and David Hyde Pierce co-star in this beastly tale of love and betrayal with equal measures of humor passion and delicious terror.System Requirements:Starring: Jack Nicholson Michelle Pfeiffer James Spader and Christopher Plummer Director: Mike Nichols Copyright: 1994 Columbia Produced by Douglas Wick; written by Jim Harrison Wesley Strick; DVD released on 11/25/1997; running time of 125 minutes; Closed Captioned.
