Michael Rechtshaffen from the Hollywood Reporter gave it a C-. He said, it was “Not so much howlingly bad as it is disappointingly lifeless.” A.O. Scott over at the New York Times gave it a C-.

Peter Travers from Rolling Stone Magazine gave it a C-. He stated,“The Wolfman bites, but not — I think — in the way the filmmakers intended.” USA Today’s Claudia Puig gave it a C. She said, “There’s not much to recommend this dull, cheerless and not very scary re-imagining of the classic 1941 film.”
