josephmonaghan-34145 Greatly enjoyable movie nothing at all wrong with the movie the pacing and editing was also impressive and the plot regarding the werewolf society being superior as the new mankind but still a good movie to watch and enjoy.

simest There are hopefully very few occasions one might feel the urge to flee the theatre long before the closing credits roll. With AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS however, your chances of experiencing this are better than average.In making a follow-up to a wonderful and respected classic like it's predecessor, the makers of this had to realise that they had signed on to meet certain standards and expectations. Right from the unnecessary and absurd Eiffel Tower sequence early on, it seems clear that the very mentality of this film is way, way off. Whilst I laughed at the humour in the original, here I cringed at the many embarrassing efforts of AWIP to generate laughs. Equally, I was left cold by it's failure to offer a single scare to speak of.Elsewhere, utterly mindless (and arguably tasteless) sequences by Jim Morrison's grave at Pere Lachaisse among others, seem more preoccupied showcasing some of Paris' famed locations than furthering the story in any meaningful way - a far cry from the Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square set-pieces in the original.The lead characters seem to epitomise the very cliched definition of annoying American tourists seen through the eyes of the rest of the world and this misrepresentation makes it difficult to take from them anything like the appeal found in David Naughton and Griffin Dunne in the 1981 original. It might be unfair to measure this movie by comparison to the original but there is little doubt that there would still lie within, the same complaints with AWIP even if judged purely on it's own merits as they are so glaringly evident.Enough has already been said about the awful CGI werewolf FX and this stands true - again - even without comparison to Rick Baker's extraordinary practical transformation wizardry 17 years earlier. Quite literally, between the story, characters, performances, digital disasters and half-witted humour, I felt - within the first five minutes - a sinking sensation in my stomach that created a knot which sat there and left me numb with disbelief long after the merciful arrival of the end credits. Only Delpy's presence brought any kind of relief in the interim.

meghnasri-97601 Who in the world will want to see this picture. This movie was stupid and the werewolfs in the movie didn't even look like werewolfs. Also how could the characters that got killed in the movie become ghost and Andy can only see them. The performances in the movie are bad and the CGI effects aren't good. Though the movie has a great ending the other scences are stupid. This movie wasn't a masterpiece and it was complete trash

Neil Welch 1981's An American Werewolf in London was, on its own terms, a great success - a clever concept served by an effective script which kept its horror and comedic elements in perfect balance, an excellent cast performing well, assisted by highly effective physical effects in a story with great heart.One need say no more about this ill-considered and ridiculously belated follow-up than to note that it is an idiotic concept doomed by a clodhopping script which renders its horror elements ineffective by burying them under misplaced and unfunny humour, a so-so cast doing their best with inadequate material, hamstrung by stunningly bad CGI effects in a story with a complete absence of any emotional weight.
