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.

To keep it short: -watched it because I am a fan of the show -mediocre script, lines, cuts, scenes, new characters(old characters that are simply brought back just to stand there...yes I'm talking about Liam) and overall everything because it is rushed to pack everything in one go. It wasn't enough to make a series so (probably because of money too) they just stuffed everything in a movie.

A miniseries would have been better than to rush everything and get so many illogical actions and plot holes.

The idea behind was not horrible, but how it was done it did a great injustice to the franchise since it could've been handled better.

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.

Derek's wretched ending was the absolute worst thing about this movie. I literally cannot fathom why they thought this was OK. He deserved so much better than that. I could have forgiven the awful villain(s), the absence of Stiles Stilinski ( at least the Sheriff was around), Allison coming back from the dead like it's no big deal etc. Really, I could have forgiven this movie many, many sins, but the disrespect towards Derek is too much. Yes, the creator said it was supposed to be heroic or some such nonsense, but Derek deserved a happy ending. Was this a happy ending? No, no it was not. I'm so angry.

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.
