I will start this by saying I really wanted to like this 1987 sequel to the 1985 Teen Wolf movie as I loved that movie. It stared Michael J Fox in the main role and Jerry Levine as Stiles who character helped me fall in love with the movie. So, when a hastily made follow up movie was made I wanted to lap up more fun and magic following the same story. What we got was the same rehashed story but with a different cast. The character of Stiles was back but the actor was replaced by Stuart Fratkin who couldn’t rekindle the joy Jerry did for me.
This version of the story follows a similar one as the first film it’s now at University rather than High School and the main character is played by Jason Bateman rather than Michael J Fox. In this Jason (Todd Howard) is going to University and having problems with a lack of love life. Replacing the Basketball, we have boxing which Todd’s wolf has a real talent for which fires Todd to stardom within the movie. Story sound familiar well they couldn’t be asked to write something new. Well they add some poor jokes throughout the movie and drop in characters that I just couldn’t connect with. I have a familiar tune here by saying watch the original if you want to enjoy a film and not bother with this one. I really wanted to enjoy this based on the love I had with the first film but I just couldn’t.
