It was so very obnoxiously 'new school Hollywood' to assume that since having *one* of something is good, TWO is even better! AND, let's have them FIGHT! For me, not only was it too formulaic, it presented too many questions about just how self-aware a WolfMan *is* after a change. Why *would* two of them fight each other, if they're mostly just instinctual? The rest of it I enjoyed a great deal, but that particular scene just felt like it was on auto-pilot. At least it was blessedly brief! Actually, I really disliked the twist presented by Hopkins’ character at the end.
