Review of Teen Wolf: The Movie (2023) by Tristanhemlock — 29 Jan 2023

As someone that watched Teen Wolf from the beginning, this movie was a real let down. And I really tried to like this movie, to the point I ignored the wokeness in it, that had never been in the show.

But that's when you know the movie is failing. Because especially as a fan, I should've been able to love this movie effortlessly. Instead I could barely watch it from beginning to end, seeing the more it progressed it was like watching what once had been great being broken down piece by piece.

The movie is filled with plot holes and even plot idiocy. Like… When you see where the main villain was being kept, you just can't stop and sigh at the sheer lack of intelligence.

Scott and Malia that had created a solid relationship, were simply not together for no real reason but to open a more than obvious spot for the more than obvious character, for the more than obvious ending.

A few characters had actually done good with their lives, but most were just in random places doing the same things they've always done. Basically they were stuck and didn't evolve at all. The story was too lazy, too predictable, with an ending you see it coming a mile away. After so many years as a Teen Wolf fan, I was expecting a lot more than just this lazy story writing. If you watched the show, you know that most seasons had a far better overall story than what this movie was able to deliver.

I honestly wish this movie had never been made. And that they'd left things be, as they were left in the last season.

It's no wonder Dylan O'Brien didn't return as Stiles, seeing one read of the script would've turned any real Teen Wolf fan away from this movie.

But unfortunately because many of these actors and actresses careers were stagnated, they decided to make a quick dollar by ruining the very great story they were once a part of. This was clearly a test to see if Teen Wolf still has any gas in it to perhaps make a spin-off, or a sequel. A test that clearly failed.

I'll cherish the TV show, but this movie. I'll delegate it to an alternate timeline story where Teen Wolf derailed almost everything good about it.
