I really thought as though this was going to be ‘Gladiator in Tights’ but I was pleasantly surprised.

Now the name Bruce Lee might not mean much to some people these days but in the 70’s he was like a God!

I pity the fool who has to step into the red & blue leotard for Spiderman 4, 5 or 6 as nobody will take it seriously anymore.

You would also no doubt leave the building with the feeling that you’ve been entertained by some top notch actors. Now here’s the thing…as a movie the whole thing seems somewhat corny and would feel at home as a sinister episode from the much loved 80’s TV series ‘Tales of the Unexpected’.

From 1923 to 1960 Universal Pictures was the king of horror movies and they have taken their 69 year old classic ‘The Wolfman’ and remade it for a new audience.

How wrong was I?

Not to be confused with the live action musical ‘Nine’ due out this Christmas. Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:17:43 +0100 01d2d5e726a3e30a238a46088537f79a
