Teen Wolf: The Movie

When I first heard there will be a teen wolf movie, I was so excited because I liked -and still-the series so much, I consider it my guilty pleasure. I started watching it in my teen years so I was so attached to it, and when I rewatched it recently preparing for watching the movie, I didn't like the last couple seasons as much as did the first time. Because I felt the actors were too old to play the characters, and the plot, events were a bit "teeny". I was hoping since they're doing the movie on streaming service they won't have a problem with going over the age limit (Visually and plot wise), they won't be limited like they were. But it turned out they used only the f-word from the manual. I was very disappointed, The same old plot meets the same old drama. The only good thing was seeing the cast reunited once again (minus 1 or 2 characters) and that's it.

I was and am a huge fan of the series. The series was a really smart fun take on a little known movie. Even as it began to run out of ideas I enjoyed the series. This movie is nothing but MTV's attempt to see if there's enough fuel for a reboot. Plain and simple. I am incredibly tolerant of entertainment I like going off the rails but because I like the ideas or actors I can survive it. I finished this movie only because I wanted to see if it would try to get better. It's like someone watched a couple of episodes disjointedly and tried to put in enough of the people and characters to make us nostalgic and then make us say "man I wish they would bring this back". I have rarely seen less effort (even down to the cgi) put into a project like this. I see why Stiles didn't come back. If you are the biggest Teen Wolf fan ever, don't see this movie. If you've never seen it and wonder what the fuss is? Watch the series.

I'm a huge Teen Wolf Nerd so it's hard for me to say this but the film didn't work!

The reason The series worked so well was character development throughout the season/season's so in a film in which you have 2 hrs something to skip 16 years into the future you need to bring us up to date a little!

Eli - no character info! Just that he's Derek's son and hates transforming since seeing his dad do so as a toddler (don't add new characters if you can't give the time to the backstory!) Who's his mum?

Styles not being in it - reason kinda weak! Would have gone with don't involve this time due to the history with the villan!

Gaps in story! Malia (not with Scott where they ended the series?) Why... What happened? Just jumped to her having sex with Parish (again no backstory or context) Her performance as a side note was unnatural and awkward!

Scott - what's happened to him...why doesn't he have a pack anymore at the start of the film, why is he depressed and down... No context again...see a theme here?

Sheriff Stalinski has some how learned hand to hand combat!

We have a villan who was sacrificed and somehow came back to life without ...(what am I going to say?) Thats right! Back story or context!

Listen I hope they make more I really do! I loved this series and wish it continued for a bit longer but the film sucks it's rushed the writing isn't up to JD standard the story telling wasn't there! The cast seemed a tad weird... Lydia (Hollen Rodan) looked like she's not acted for years and had ring rust, I mentioned Shelley as looking awkward and uncomfortable the whole film! And Alison (please don't have and more work done! For goodness sake!) Face was too tight to even smile! And she was already incredibly stunning before the work!

Peter Hale didn't fit or really nail his old characteristics was a bit over the top! Must have been in theatre between series and film... Derek nailed the film though Tyler Hochelin hats off! One saving grace!

I think all valid points made by other posters about the story plot holes, but honestly I didn't remember how the story ended exactly since a few years have past from the last time I watched it.

The biggest boomer for me was that they managed to bring back almost all the cast except the one, that generally is considered the star of the show. Without him, humour was less funny and I also think he elevates the acting level of the whole group. It's like Batman without Batman or Black Panther without Black Panther (which Hollywood actually did)

If you don't care much about the old story and accept everything as told, it's actually an entertaining watch. Not bad for a low budget production which I guess was made purely out of nostalgia and love for the product.

Liked the ending given.

Okay... let's start off right at the beginning of the movie, where we see a man in a hoodie with his face covered and we spent half the movie trying to figure out who that might be and when we finally do, it's just disappointing and it makes no sense that that man is brought back 'cause his reason is just stupid and quite fabricated. Then we have Eli, who doesn't have an explanation to how he's got here and who the other parent is, one of many lack of context plots in this.

Malia, who just like in season 6 didn't have ANY purpose in this movie but to be someone else's love interest. Then there's Scott... that you know, didn't change at all. There was no character development whatsoever and it's just getting old. And well, the last death of the movie was just... no.

There was so much repetition and the script didn't help it. Many things could've been explored, like Hikari's power, Liam and Mason's friendship, which was put aside and some other things that deserved more screen time.

I'm tired of being stuck in what could've beens so, I hope this is the last of it but I guess the movie is about not worrying about the past and to be honest, I'll do the same when it comes to what I just watched.
