Teen Wolf Audience Reviews

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
videorama-759-859391 Light hearted wolf fare this is, for the whole family too, back in '85, when Fox, such an overrated actor, was making a name for himself. Unpopular Fox, yeah Mr Average, is beginning to notice changes, and it's genetics. He's sprouting wolf hair, his eyes lighting up, faint emerald, and he's starting to howl. All these features make him, king of Popularity overnight, where being a wolf has it's advantages, especially in needs to your wants, like very unattainable hottie, Pamela, who's stud boyfriend, who's starring daggers, isn't happy to say the least. Plusses in this, are of course, Levine, as Fox's best mate, who brings a lot of color and vivacity to this feel good movie, it's throbbing music score, unnervingly fitting to Fox's music, where in it's starting, playing over the opening credits, for a more intense, higher classification wolf pic, but like I said, this is a great and perfect pic for everyone, minus kiddies I guess. This is great camp 80's, and the film offers some really funny moments, one killer line, concerning father and son, Fox on the stairwell, in a two way conversation, and a surprise revelation. It has again, "the girl who's best for you, is right beside you, and you didn't notice" scenario, so you obviously know how the finale ensues. Also we have a bit bad history, and a personal grudge, where a few revengeful moments, go greatly appreciated. Fun entertainment, and Stiles (Levine) who has god much more screen presence, acting wise too, than Fox. He's the life of the party in this one, and I myself, are truly grateful.
Joseph Brennan This movie is a underrated 80s comedy which doesn't get much credit but it should cause of Michael j fox as a wolf and I also think that the soundtrack is fantastic along with the other teen 80s soundtrack breakfast club,Ferris BUELLER'S day off etc I also think that this movie should be up there with the other great 80s movies and a status of cult classic.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues After a huge success Back to the Future Michael J. Fox next movie Teen Wolf,here in Brazil the title was change to "the Boy from the Future" no make sense but works and was a hit in the mid 80',the picture made for teenagers only...the plot is simple as the result too,about a boy who isn't popular in school and also in basketball too....but he felling that your body is changing to werewolf,late he discover that your father also is a werewolf,this scene saves the movie...the remain of this picture is a trash!!
Predrag Teen Wolf isn't your Oscar winner, it isn't that one movie that gets you sobbing every time, and it certainly isn't a movie that lets you down either, it's an overall fun film to watch with family and it definitely has its moments.As if homework weren't already hard enough, high school loser Scott Howard starts noticing some odd changes as he is transformed into a teenage werewolf. His enhanced abilities and scary new look quickly make him a star on the court and the most popular kid in school, but as Scott begins to lose himself in "the animal," he must learn that with great power comes great responsibility. This film rest solely on the charming, pitch-perfect performance of Fox and re-watching this today, it is still his performance that raises the film above it's script. Probably the biggest surprise is, how easily everyone accepts Scott's transformation into his alter-ego, without so much as a pitchfork or torch on display. This is all the more surprising given that the 80's weren't particularly known for being accepting of minorities or people who were different. Near the end when that song, 'Shooting for the Moon' starts, it sends a shiver down my spine every time. Soundtrack is just awesome with groovy sound of 80's pop rock joints including Robert Palmer, Amy Holland, The Beach Boys etc.All in all, this is such an awesomely bad movie. I really do enjoy it, but mostly because I was quite young when i fist saw it on TV. If you are 30, 40 years old and you still haven't seen Teen Wolf, you probably never will... but for the rest of us, who grow up with this film, it would be a still memorable classic of retro collections.Overall rating: 6 out of 10.
