When I first saw the movie I loved it and as I see more "werewolf" movies, I love it even more.
Now, I am not a stick in the mud in regards to how one turns from human to monster and I liked the Werewolfs of the Underworld trilogy ( though I liked Rhona and Kate far more), but truing into a WOLF, big or small, is just pain silly, sorry.
This was the RIGHT way to do it.
I think a "somehere inbetween" of this and Underworld MAY have been better, but I loved it.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
