"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I can't tell if that review is good or bad.

The American Idol contested just loved it, so it MUST be good.

I think its 29 score on metacritic and 7% on Rotten Tomatoes are strong indications that this movie is bad but not a bad film to watch with a flask in hand.

Both NY News & Post panned it.

Saw it tonight. It's indeed pretty terrible, but provided an entertaining evening. It certainly reaches the point where you just have to start laughing at how just simply bad it is, which did happen tonight.

Amanda Seyfried is disappointing. Gary Oldman must have been broke and hungry, because he clearly showed up to cash a check and chew some scenery. Of the two boys, well, the one Amanda likes had about two facial expressions, and the other one in the "love triangle" had about one and a half facial expressions (at one point the corners of his mouth twitched a little, but nothing else changed, thus giving him that half). The less said about the rest of the supporting cast the better.

Surprisingly the theatre was not swamped with tween Twilight fans, which I was assuming it would be when we chose to go to the 7:45 showing. I'm curious how it will play to that crowd.

I also made the remark about halfway through that we should have had a few drinks beforehand. It will also make a great drinking game once it hits DVD; take a drink for every scene that makes you laugh even though it's not supposed to be funny, you'll be bombed in no time flat.

I believe one reviewer compared the sets to Plan 9 From Outer Space bad. That says it all. The best scenes were obviously in the trailer.

*******SPOILER********

So here's my major critic of the movie:

OK, so the dad was the werewolf. If he went on for 20 years without bothering anyone and only wanting to pass on his werewolf power to another generation...why didn't he just take his daughter away as a human? He could of persuaded her to run away better as a human than as the wolf. Dumbass. His dumb ass wouldn't be dead if he would of been smart about it.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

How was the Werewolf design? I am a huge sucker for Werewolf movies so no matter what I am going to see this but if it's one of those stupid, little poodles on crack like in Twilight or a dog with Mange like in Harry Potter I am not going.

I saw it today. I enjoyed it. Not the most amazing movie ever, but it kept me entertained. After seeing Beastly on Friday, pretty much any movie is going to be good.
As for the werewolf design, it's just a big black werewolf. Definitely not a little dog by any means. If you've seen other werewolf movies, this one is pretty similar in terms of design.
