Pretty impressive for only 55 minutes. The black and white throwback style is unique and well executed. The production design appropriately captures the pulpy horror vibe. The writing/performances are stronger than I've come to expect out of Marvel's recent efforts. I enjoyed Gael Garcia Bernal back in his Mozart in the Jungle days, and he doesn't disappoint in this role either. Even the action has some surprises, being a bit more gruesome and bloody than the sanitized fist fights Marvel typically churns out. As far as criticisms go, I feel a little guilty in admitting that I didn't love the actual design of the titular werewolf. I'm sure it's probably inspired by the classic designs and old school special effects, but even so, it's not my favorite. Still, this is a unique little Marvel experiment that shows that they still have some gas in the tank, especially when they venture outside their standard formula.
