It wasn't the most impressive werewolf.
The Hippogriff was pretty cool though.
Personally, I thought it was really creepy-looking. For those expecting a hairy creature, I guess it disappoints. The more 50/50 split of Man and wolf, with the sparse hair and the long legs and wolfish head, and how it moved, really gave me the creeps. I've been recently into a subject called the "beast of Guavodan" (sic?). A wolf/dog animal that killed a bunch of people in France in 1767. A real horrible animal, and this werewolf sort of reminds me of it. There's a scene where the "dog" is in front of the werewolf and one get's a good comparision of the two: the dog is quite frightening in it's appearance, but the werewolf just looks like it belongs in someone's nightmare; totally out of our normal world.
