15 years after the original show, TeenWolfTheMovie feels more like the start of a new season than a revival, in spite of some glaring character omissions. Our review:

It's fair to say that when Teen Wolf: The Movie was first announced there was an immediate buzz around a return for the supernatural drama. However, there was almost certainly a silent anxiety around bringing back some of the most beloved characters in MTV's repertoire and risking uprooting the satisfying ending to Jeff Davis' six-year epic.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film picks up by re-establishing the very mundane lives of alpha Scott McCall's pack/unbiological family. Despite having all moved away from Beacon Hills — and largely one another — they all share a unified emptiness from no longer fulfilling their shared purpose of protecting those who cannot protect themselves.

Scott's efforts prove successful, but not in the way he hopes with Allison — who has been manipulated by the nogitsune and cannot remember who she truly is — attacking him with full force. Although far from romantic, the scene plays out with authenticity that keeps the magic very much alive. In Scott's signature self-sacrificial optimism, he attempts to get through to Allison and remind her of who she is — and who he was to her.

Other triumphs include Derek Hale's tumultuous relationship with his rebellious teenage son Eli . Although their central point of contention is Eli's inability to fully come into his own as a werewolf, their story is laced with themes of identity and compassion which Hoechlin delivers with Superman strength.

Overall, Teen Wolf: The Movie packs a heavy punch and stands tall in the original series' six-season shadow. The film pulls on threads that have always resonated well with its loyal viewer base and continues the story of these treasured characters forward in a truly authentic way. Whilst some omissions are hard to get past, the film does well to embrace them and offers a collective conclusion to most storylines in a way that honors the fan devotion behind the series.
