It is promised to be one of the most interesting Marvel projects yet, as the Werewolf by Night first reactions are officially here!
With the trail being revealed at this year’s D23, there is no MCU project that looks as interesting as this, and it seems to have been received tremendously well by those who have already seen it.
#WerewolfByNight is the MCU Halloween treat I was hoping for! A delightful ode to the classic monster movies with MCU-level stuntwork, production design & effects. LOVED the dynamic between Gael García Bernal & Laura Donnelly's characters and … pic.twitter.com/6KFGTcxZE9

Perri Nemiroff of Collider.com spoke about the incredible nature of the project and started his initial reaction by stating how it is the perfect holiday treat for Marvel fans.
Nemiroff spoke to the film with a clear homage to classic monster films but done so with all of the production ammunition behind Marvel Studios that craft a brilliant story.
The Marvel Disney+ shows have been a bit all over the map quality wise, but #WerewolfByNight is easily the best thing they’ve done. Yes even better than #MoonKnight (which you all know I loved) pic.twitter.com/JYhwimtJgm

James Viscardi continued the praise of the project but seemingly took it a step further, by stating that the special is the best work that Marvel Studios has ever done on Disney+.
Vicard admitted to adoring Moon Knight and stated that Werewolf by Night surpassed that project in his Disney+ MCU rankings.
#WerewolfByNight is a classic Hollywood monster movie you won’t want to end. SPOOKY and STRIKING, it’s one of the coolest things EVER to come out of the MCU. @GaelGarciaB is thrilling to watch suppress the beast within. More Jack Russell! What can’t @m_giacchino do at this point? pic.twitter.com/P1AB1702td

Daniel Baptista of The Movie Podcast reiterated a lot of the praise and also slated it as among the best MCU projects to date.
Baptista pointed to the film’s spooky nature and classic monster movie feel as its best qualities, while also praising both star Gael Garcia and director Michale Giacchino for their work on the project.
#WerewolfByNight is the most idiosyncratic MCU project since GOTG. As good? No. But it’s a remarkable breath of fresh air to see Marvel try something like this, as its tone and style are VERY MUCH that of the trailer.
More like this, please. Comics are weird. Let’s be weird. 🐺 pic.twitter.com/Z2kCmEYohM

Eric Italiano was yet another praising the film’s unique approach and undeniable quality as its strongest features ahead of its official release.
Italiano likened the project to Guardians of the Galaxy, and although he was sure to note that it wasn’t as good, he praised its willingness to take the same kind of risk that the MCU took with that film.
