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.

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 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.

The Teen Wolf TV show was a pretty good series, especially the first 3 seasons, with season 3 being brilliant. Like seriously, season 3 of Teen Wolf had no right to be as good as it was. Season 4-6 were, fine, not bad, not great. The Teen Wolf Movie is more or less the same. There are plently of great things here and there in this movie, but overall, it falls short on many aspects. It's not bad by any means, but it just feels like 2 episodes of the original show mashed into 2.5 hours. It doesn't feel like a movie, and that comes down to the direction and very weird editing. Being 2.5 hours long, this 'movie' feels very rushed, especially during the first half an hour. We bounce between our old main characters, and don't really spend all that much time with them within their normal lives. The movie could have spared more time to show us what these great characters have been doing for the past 5 years, or 7 years in the movie. Not much happens action wise, not until the last act, but even then the action scenes are very underwhelming. Scott, Malia, Derek, Peter, Chris and Lydia do almost nothing throughout the entire movie. Allison is pretty much the main character here. While she isn't bad, and the way they brought her back wasn't too far fetched by Teen Wolf standards, I feel like they spent too much time with her, and not with our main heroes. Which makes me believe this movie should have been a mini series with maybe 6 episodes. To flesh out the story a little better. What made the original show so brilliant, was its characters. Scott, Stiles, Lydia, Allison, Coach and Sheriff Stilinski are brilliant, but here they feel so under used, with the execption of Allison.

A lot of the main characters from the original show are just there for show, like Jackson and Mason, who do absolutely nothing, and I feel like Jackson was just there to sort of replace Stiles as the comic relief. Which of course brings me to the biggest complaint. No Stiles. (Sigh). We all know Dylan wasn't coming back, and I was expecting the movie to feel empty without him, and it sure does. Without Stiles this movie feels hollow, it has no heart. You can't bring back the best villains in the series, and not have Stiles, who played such a vital part in that storyline back in season 3. It just doesn't make sense. The excuse for him not turning up was pretty lame as well. There is a main death in this movie, and I saw it coming months ago, but the way it was handled was poor. It didn't feel emotional like I was expecting it to be. Just rushed, and by the end of it, I felt nothing at all. Not having Kira and replacing her with a cardboard cut out, was also irritating. Hikari was clearly supposed to be Kira, so when we see this random girl appear, we feel nothing at all, and her screen time with Liam is non existant, which can be frustrating, since the movie wants us to believe they are a couple.

Those are the main issues with the movie. Now I know it seems like I'm dumping on this film hard, but there are loads of good things here. The acting, especially by Tyler is very good. He's really upped his skills as an actor since the original show and he does a fantastic job and showing his emotion and pain on screen. The fight scenes, while sparse are well filmed. The Nogitsune is again, a great villain. They handled the whole thing very well, and if you brush up on your history and rewatch season 1-3, the villain elevates even more. There are also some really good scenes with Scott and Allison, some of which could put a lump in your throat. Their on screen relationship during the original show was outstanding, and is one of the best TV relationships. And Teen Wolf The Movie does a pretty decent job with it.

So in all, the movie is good, not great, but better than most movies made from a TV show. It would have benefitted from being a mini series, to have had more fight scenes, but it's still a good watch. If you loved the original show, then you will of course, really enjoy this. Hopefully we get another movie, or maybe a series in the future, because I forgot just how much I like these characters, and have kinda missed them.

6/10.

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!

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.

It was said this movie would be a love letter to the fans, I'd say in occasions that's true. It's not bad, but also not necessarily good. Derek & Eli steal the show, or better said movie. Scott remains Scott, which is good, but there are some dumb storylines here and there, and you'd wish to see more from some characters, some just feel they're there to be there rather than have a true meaning in the movie. Nonetheless, it's quite enjoyable. I'd say it's on par with season 4, not better than 1-3 & 6A, definitely better than 5 and 6B. They kinda messed up a storyline with the returning villain that didn't make all too much sense for me, but I guess it's something you have to take with it.

Im a huge fan of teen wolf and shocked to see so many other fans leave such awful reviews! Of course it isn't going to the same WOW as a whole series. The movie had a lot thrown in a short space, and I do wish that we had more time to revisit everyone in the future, but what we got was amazing and I think it was fantastic to see everyone back together! Stiles should have been there though, can't believe he was such a let down for the movie, you should never forget where you came from.

I hope this isn't the end for teen wolf. I just wish they hadn't left it so long, and made more series, I feel like there was so much more that could have happened and loads of story lines had so much more to give.

Here is to the 100 F bombs in this one hahahaha

Okay, I haven't watched Teen Wolf the series in a long time but what I remembered was I liked it but by the end it was the usual teen drama sort of thing. The movie is a good mix I think.

What I did like was the cast, having loads of familiar faces back is nice, I liked being back in Beacon Hills.

The story itself was decent enough, a few different things going on, Sherif, coach, Jackson and Derek are all highlights in this one for me.

The action was okay, i thought the effects would have been better to be honest. Also the whole brining back Alison thing, I feel that kind of undermines the whole point of a large section of the show. And the show has done it too but, idk I am a mixed bag on that one.

I did like the evil characters coming back too but maybe some new evil force might have been good too.

I did thing it was a little cheesy at times but I guess it's geared to the audience that loved every season and fair enough.

I didn't not like it but I didn't love it, a decent watch, hopefully we get a bit more from this world again.

I loved the series on MTV and was sorry to see it end. I heard yesterday that there was a movie and that was exciting to me. About 10 minutes in I literally said out loud "This is really badly written." But I stuck with it and ended up mostly enjoying it. Maybe because of nostalgia? Seeing all the characters from the series? Yeah, mostly those reasons. I really missed Stiles being missing from the movie because he was my favorite character. However, so many old characters are back and all are utilized at some point. There's so much violence and pretty much non-stop action that there's not a lot of room for more character development or getting to know what everyone has been up to other than Scott, Derek and Lydia. Derek's son Eli was a welcome addition to the show as a 15 year old werewolf that can't yet change and is very much the klutz.

I do have to say that I still am not sure who the bad guy is or what he's so mad about. If he's from the series, I sure don't remember him although he looked vaguely familiar. All the nursery rhyme questions made no sense to me either. That definitely needed explaining. People show up places out of the blue and that didn't make sense either. All this aside, it kept my attention and I loved seeing all the characters. I thought it was worth it to watch. 6.5 stars!

I, like I assume the vast majority reading this, was a huge fan of teen wolf when it was air. I started watching after season 1 finished and loved the series. I was hesitant approaching this film with the marketing and casting disasters, as well as the fact I don't have complete faith in Jeff Davis. That said, I actually found the film to be very enjoyable. The plot was somewhat thin, and at times felt like an extended episode of the series as opposed to a standalone film, but it had enough substance to keep me engaged. It obviously had a healthy dollop of fan service (and probably even more cheese than the series), with the vast majority of the original cast returning, and the return of a certain character was actually handled pretty well. If you're a fan of the series I think you will enjoy the film, but don't expect a masterpiece, because it certainly has it's flaws too.

Look, i loved teen wolf for what it was. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was FUN. I didn't have high expectations for this movie coming in and it's wild how much it fell beneath my very low bar.

It was nice to see the actors i love from various roles on the show. Sadly not a single one had a meaningful role or presence in this movie. Not one. Not even scott or allison. It was laughable how obviously they had to write around Kira not being there thanks to Arden Cho having the good sense and self respect to turn down this role. The plot was so obviously structured around her character and made no sense with the stand-in replacement they added (not that it would've made a TON of sense with Kira either, but a little more). The nogitsune isn't compelling without Dylan O'Brien there, and even aside from any desires i might've had for the characters being fulfilled/unfulfilled... the quality all around was far worse than the TV show, somehow. Dialogue, music, directing, story, effects, all of it was somehow dumber and cheesier than the show which again, was not some prestigious cinematic thing in the first place.

I was ready to cheer on a mediocre follow up but this was just too bad to even enjoy. And ABSURDLY LONG for how bad it was.

As a lover of the teen wolf series, I'm majorly dissapointed in this movie. I feel like the teen wolf franchise would have been better off without this movie. The plot made no sense at all because of how rushed and all over the place the movie was as a whole. Not even going to mention the horrible CGI. I really feel like this either should have been created as a continuation of the series or just not made at all. The relationships between the characters felt superficial and pointless. It's really a shame since the series was so good. I wouldn't even give this one star to be honest, I really wish that this was done better.

Now this movies is just Amazing! Love the story to this and the cast wow they are all so amazing. Loved the original show and this movie just took me back to the old days when I used to watched the show. So good! It is cool to see the cast all together again just more grown up besides Kira and stiles. The cast did an great job in this movie just like the show! It was alway one of my favorite shows the storyline and cast were just so good for the show. I am a bit sad from something that happens in the movie I will not say what but ughh why. I'd say definitely watch this movie if you liked the teen wolf show!

I guess the movie was, what it was supposed to be. I felt it was overcrowded for my taste. The story had no build up, but I like the show, I gave it a 7. The question to me is TV MA??? Yes there was more language, then normal and sexual contact is 2 butts being shown. But definitely not TV MA. But whatever, if your a fan of the series watch it. If not don't try. Could of been a lot better!!! Like I said it just felt like someone wrote it over a weekend, and it just had no depth no feeling. You knew what was gonna happen before it actually happened. I just don't get it, why write something if your not gonna put all of yourself into it. You could tell Jeff Davis was more interested in "WOLF PACK" at this point.

I tried so very hard to enjoy this. What I became aware of pretty quickly was how the soundtrack was being used to create tension. Nothing unusual there. But in this case, the soundtrack being used is just not very good and begins to intrude on what is basically a vapid script and a story that is going to plod along for much of the huge length of this mess. It just goes on for hours. This should have been a 90 minute gorefest seems as original fans are all grown up. Instead it's just kind of nothing. It's just a really bad film that you'll be losing the will to live with long before it finally ends.
