Not as good as it should be, but still a good movie

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2012)

I was waiting for this movie for a while mostly because of the presence of Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeifer, Grace Chloe Moretz and Jackie Earl Haley who is one of my personal favorites.
I must say I quite enjoyed the first half of the movie but was a bit disappointed by the second half by what I think was an exaggeration of combat moves and curses. Grace made an excellent werewolf (according to my humble opinion but then I am infatuated by her) although it was unnecessary for her to be one.
All in all I can't say that I think my money was better spent elsewhere, but I can say that I had this feeling like with Alice that something better could be achieved with the same resources.
I must add though that I absolutely loved Jackie Earl Haley's performance and for me it was a reason to watch the movie.
