Wolfman del Toro

Despite having the same titles the 2010 and the original 1941 The Wolfman clash in many respects.  The story lines do not match up exactly and the technology used during the filming, editing, and production differs drastically between the The Wolfman films.  For and example, in the 1941 film there were no special effects used like in the 2010 version.  The make up used by the actors portraying the wolfman is different also.  The 1941 wolfman, Lon Chaney Jr. used animal hair and facial cosmetic glue to create the wolfman effect.  Benecio del Toro is subject to all that the make up and effects that the 2010 movie industry has to offer.  These movies in my opinion are in different categories in this day and age.  I would consider the 1941 movie a ambitious attempt to create magic in cinema for one of the first times in the film industry.  While the 2010 film is a suspense film using the storyline from a classic. Not much improvement in the acting department either.
