The film "Werewolf by Night" pleasantly surprised me with its creative twist. Initially a black-and-white production, it captured my attention in a way I hadn't anticipated. The unique presentation in monochrome added to the film's appeal, and I particularly enjoyed the nod to "The Wizard of Oz" where the transition to color was a memorable touch. This movie is definitely worth a watch - it may not be lengthy, but it offers an intriguing experience worth delving into. I've personally watched it three times and found enjoyment in each viewing. What sets this film apart is that it doesn't detract from the thrilling excitement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU); rather, it prompts contemplation on how it will fit into the larger narrative. This leaves me with the biggest question: how will it intertwine with the MCU, considering its unique approach that hasn't been explored in other ways before? I thoroughly relished this film and eagerly anticipate its connection to the broader MCU universe.

MORE SPOILER-FREE MINI-REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/mini-reviews-2022-edition/ "Werewolf by Night exhibits once again the immense talent of Michael Giacchino, but this time, in addition to delivering an excellent score, he also shines as a director. From the stunning black-and-white cinematography to the instantly entertaining premise, the filmmaker creates such a distinctive style that no one would guess this special belongs to the MCU. A dive into the horror genre that pays homage to past decades and surprises with the level of depth given to the characters in such a short runtime. Final praise for the superb performances."

**Werewolf by Night makes bold creative decisions to embrace the monster movies vibe, and it pays off BIG TIME!** Werewolf by Night is my favorite Marvel film so far this year. The stylized approach with the black and white filter and film grain was a bold choice that gave the movie great atmosphere and nostalgia. Werewolf by Night embraced the horror genre and violence slightly more than other Marvel movies, with villains losing limbs and being eaten. However, it’s still a Disney+ special at the end of the day, so I wouldn’t call it particularly scary or violent. As a fan of Elsa Bloodstone in the comics, I enjoyed her character’s role and backstory in the movie, which connected this isolated creature feature to a greater universe. The creative choices, great but not overdone effects, the introduction of new heroes, and the horror approach make Werewolf by Night one of the best recent entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
