Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Ensofter
Overrated and overhyped

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Whether or not if you view this as a corny teenage 80's movie. There is no denying the Michael J Fox was perfect to play Scott, with his uneasy on screen antics Michael was a perfect choice for the film. Enough back story to not leave us with unanswered questions and very few slow scenes. Teen Wolf will always be a movie I stop to check out if none of the classics are on.

TEEN WOLF is one of those films that was a hit of the '80s but hasn't dated very well since then. Some might get a kick out of the 'timeless' '80s atmosphere it offers up, full of house parties, discos, kids drinking, and basketball games; the truth is, this isn't a very good film and it just doesn't stand up next to Michael J. Fox's true classic, BACK TO THE FUTURE. The main problem is the script, which takes the simple premise – a high school student is a werewolf – and never takes it anywhere other than a few lame gags. Sure, there are the usual themes here – how a student can become popular and leave his old-time friends behind – but it's nothing that wasn't done in about a billion other movies of the period.So, is there any reason to watch? The '80s atmosphere aside (and you really will love it or hate it), we get another good-natured turn from Michael J. Fox, a cheap and cheesy werewolf costume, some okayish turns from supporting characters (Susan Ursitti is sweet as Fox's faithful love interest) and a fun play-to-the-finish climax at a basketball game which I enjoyed, despite not caring for basketball one bit. Funnily enough, the '50s high-school-werewolf movie, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, hasn't aged nearly as much as this. A sequel inevitably followed.

It's 1985-an era of big hair, break dancing and synthesizers. Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest actors on the scene and between Family Ties and his movies he could do no wrong. Teen Wolf was one of his gems.I haven't watched every movie dealing with werewolves but to my knowledge there wasn't a werewolf movie before or after Teen Wolf that was a comedy (excluding Teen Wolf Too). Teen Wolf explored the idea of a wolf man being hip, cool and the life of the party. Michael J. Fox and company nailed it. They took a menacing creature and made it fun and lovable. If only vampires, mummies, zombies and others could come out from the shadows and show their party side.

I have always enjoyed "Teen Wolf" since the first time I saw it as a child at about 10 or 11 years old. And even today I still think this is a good movie. It is just one of those types of movies that never becomes outdated."Teen Wolf" along with "Back to the Future" were the movies that made me become a fan of Michael J. Fox, another thing that still holds true today.The story in "Teen Wolf" is about Scott (played by Michael J. Fox) who is a very average teenager in high school who wishes to be outstanding and special. And when he finds odd changes to his body and he turns into a werewolf he surely does become unique and special.This is a fun and enjoyable teenage romantic comedy that is suitable for the whole family. And it is a fine movie in Michael J. Fox's career.If you are not already familiar with "Teen Wolf" then I can more than warmly recommend that you sit down and watch it.
