There are striking differences in the transformation from man to wolf in the 1949 Wolf Man and the 2010 Wolf Man. Obviously, the 1949 Wolf Man would be expected to have less of special effects considering the time it was made. In the 1949 version, the transformation of man to wolf was not that visually active. For majority of the transformation, they only showed the hair on his feet get longer. It was not actually shown how the transformation took place. It was kept to a very minimal. Thus, leaving the audience to imagine how Lon Chaney Jr. fully transformed from a man to a wolf man. Also, the picture quality and the fact that it was black and white does not make it visually attractive to the eyes. Also, one can tell that Jon Chaney Jr.'s wolf man seemed very fake like. Obviously, if we were to think of it from the point of view of someone watching it when it was released in 1949, it would be a great feat. Around those years, there was no movie like Wolf Man. But nowadays, visual effects/special effects play an important role in practically every movie. In the 2010 version of Wolf Man, the special effects of the transformation were pretty vivid. They show how Benecio Del Toro's body changes. From the hands getting distorted, from blood coming out of the nails as they grow longer, from the bones in his face shifting to even how the teeth change. The most visual transformation scene is when Benecio Del Toro was in the hospital room with all the doctors there to observe him. The transformation scene in the 2010 version is obviously more visually pleasing. One can actually see his transformation. Also, the minute details such as blood coming out of his mouth while his fangs replace his teeth make it more realistic as well. In all, the 2010 version of The Wolf Man showed a well thought out transformation from man to wolf and allows the audience to see the transformation. Whereas the 1949 version, leaves it up to the audience's imagination on the transformation.
Title should contain only Last Name and rest of title, for example: Iqbal Wolfman Your label should contain first and last name and other tags. It is interesting that LC's wolfman seems fake when the character is always the actor. In the 2010 version, the monsters are all digtital.
