| garuro's Full Review: Big Wolf On Campus |
I have updated it. Let me start by saying this is a great show. I am really old for it, but some how, when it is on, I just have to watch it. It has a great storyline(i. e. the wolf thing). Who would have thought they'd make a show out of a werewolf, especially a teenage one. (Actually the actor in 23 (it is year 2001) I do have a weird question, "In one episode, if it says that another werewolf bit him, why do they show a wolf not a werewolf (i.e. human)?"
So anyway, it's about a guy named Tommy who was bitten by a werewolf and now can turn into a werewolf himself. He befriends a guy named Merton and they fight. The saved the world a few times. Defeat some evil werewolves. And is basically the a superhero. All that is happening while Tommy tries to get Stacy to like him, if can't because he leaves trying to fight evil. At the end of the season she start college early and leaves.
Everything is the same, except that a new girl comes in. Her name is Lori and she find out that Tommy is a werewolf and she fights evil with Tommy and Merton. Once she almost turned into a werewolf herself. There are also some other character which I will point out next. First the main ones.
Tommy: the football player who turned into a werewolf
Merton: a goth who fight with Tommy
Lori: the kickboxer who finds out Tommy secret
Stacy: a cheerleader who Tommy likes
Tand T: two bullies that beats up Merton
Becky: Merton's sister who calls Merton a freaker
Dean: Tommy's brother who gives Tommy advise
Tommy's mom and dad: the mom's a TV Reporter and his dad is the mayor
Synacit (i don't know how to spell it): the bunch of werewolves who wants to make Tommy evil
One thing I am concerned about is that it is not going anywhere. But it is still good. Actually, it is ok for it to be like that because, most sitcoms are like that. Sitcoms are just supposed to be funny. Like "The Simpsons". It not going anywhere like "Friends" and other sitcoms but that lets them have more satire. So, just like all sitcom, it does have a great storyline.
I also like to say that they have great characters. All the characters are well created. They are well also created quickly and were simply. It was just, Tommy-werewolf, football player----Merton-freak, Tommy's friend. Just BOOM, BOOM and it was done. Of course they were a bit more detailed but... you know.
Also, it was well created. The theme song (which is actually written and sang by Danny Smith (Merton Dingle)) was awesome and sounded great. The way they turned Tommy into a werewolf looked real. The set to looked as though it was a real school. Not to mention the park. I thought it was shot at an actually park.
It was performed well too. The actors were really actor as though they were the real thing. The line were delivered well and clear. Even the extras acted pretty well.
It was written an excellent way. It was funny. It was full of action. It was suspenseful. It wasn't boring. It was just well-written. Just everything a show would be.
I also would like to add some things. The joke are pretty funny. Great for teens but maybe not for kids. Not for little kids, because sometimes they swear. It might be to violent, but what are you going to do. It was pretty suspenseful and unpredictable. Also, when I say that it is a comedy I mean Comedy/Drama and others. That to is unpredictable
