The two versions of the Wolfman were different in many respects: the acting styles, the story at points and the technology. Modern audiences have been thrilled by films such as Avatar with its amazing graphics, but simple and expected story. They have been tantalized by the sights and monsters produced by movies such as District 9. These element of CGI and cinematographic artistry were added to the remake, but not as successfully as the cast, crew and producers may have hoped. The older 1941 original version forced the audience to buy into the story of the film by stimulating their imaginations in the transformation. Nothing is scarier to a person than what they thin up themselves. While the graphics and the film of the original version seemed stilted and unrealistic to a modern day audience, it was astronomic at the time and absolutely thrilling to watch. With the 2010 version of Wolfman, I felt like the use of all the technology allowed for a movie in which the audience was entirely separated from the film and was not intellectually involved at any level with the film. The CGI and make allowed for the viewer to sit back and have someone create and imagine for them. It made the movie less thrilling because there was no personal thought put into the viewing of the film.
