Loup-garou de nuit

I haven't been terribly impressed by recent MCU entries but this is the best thing they've done since Multiverse of Madness.(I was disappointed due to my own expectations as well but still liked it). I love the hybrid feel of 80' Halloween special meets old black and white monster movie. It has a little intentional camp and cheese to it which actually works for the genre crossing and it spares us the excessive comedy the MCU is fond of shoving down our throats in every single thing they do lately. This one is stylish and entertaining and paced just right for its just under one hour run time. If for no other reason those who enjoyed the old late 70's early 80's Halloween specials on network tv should check this out as a nice throwback to that era. It is fun without relying on being FUNNY every moment. Please stick with this formula a little more and let a darker side of the MCU thrive as an alternative to the mainstream materials which have become so cookie cutter and joke oriented. Werewolf By Night is a win and proof that you CAN still put out something different.

Werewolf by Night retains the MCU's trademark humour for better and for worse and would've definitely benefited from a longer run time but it remains a great exercise in genre with a clear love for classic monster movies and has a blast going to more violent ends than usual.

Gael García Bernal brings the heart and clumsy charm to the proceedings whilst Laura Donnelly is the more stoic one with some solid dry wit to balance it out and Harriet Sansom Harris absolutely chews the scenery to great effect.

The use of black and white combined with the added film grain and cigarette burns is really impressive and enhances the experience. It also really helps it standout in an increasingly crowded and overly familiar universe.

Michael Giacchino's direction is amazing, especially for a debut. It's so artistically composed in its striking imagery and skillfully controlled symphonies of violence. Giacchino's score is also excellent, instantly evocative and grandiose in all the right ways.

This special feature was a breathe of fresh air for the MCU. It's unclear how connected this will be to the main MCU as of yet, but I hope they carry forward the darker side of the marvel universe, and when needed, the darker tone.

The film is a great tribute both it's source material, as well as to the classic creature feature of the '50s. The story is straight forward and easy to follow, with decent acting. However the style and cinematography of this is what gives it such a high writing in my opinion. The black and white, vintage style really suits the mood and tone of the film, and makes it stand out.

All I can do is recommend this film, not just to Marvel fans wanting something new from the MCU, but also to any enjoyers of vintage horror.

This was a pretty short movie, i actually thought it would turn out to be a series but apparently it was a one time deal.

Yes man thing was amazing and probably the best character in the whole movie.

I was not aware of this side of the marvel universe with classic monsters, and monster hunters this was fairly new to me.

Its a very well packed hour with lots happening, the hunters are for the most part skilled at what they do.

The only complain with the special effects is the werewolf itself, they could have at least made it look terrifying. Think of 1987 series Werewolf the costume back then was amazing.

But all in all it was a great watch.

What a fun and well made movie, lots of classic elements, not really scary, but fun and a rewarding time with a great ending.

For Marvel this is a much needed win after bad storylines like that of She-Hulk.

Great cast and acting, Laura Donnelly and Gael García Bernal are perfect for their roles, music underscored everything perfectly and the fact that it was in black and white didn't take away from it, but rather added to the charm.

The storyline was great and creative, something that I find is missing a lot lately in newer movies and TV shows.

This one is a very recommended watch, it'll leave you wishing it was a bit longer, but also refreshingly satisfied.
