Just my thoughts

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2012)

I am such a horror movie buff. I could not pass this sight without entering my opinion of this remake on line. Yes, I am one of those who loved the first Thing movie with James Arness and I absolutely loved the second with Kurt Russell. This one however, left me a little baffled and scratching my head. Even though the Carpenter film did start out a little slow with showing the actual monster in action, I felt that the leading up to it was brilliant and I loved every slow second of it. The only thing I liked about the new version was the fact that they showed more of Norwegian side of things. It to me was more of a pre-sequel version of John Carpenter's version. I have to honestly say that I didn't like any of the actors at all. In the other version, the actors were absolutely brilliant and it appeared more realistic because the actors appeared extremely scared throughout the entire movie which made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat all the time. I personally think the newest THING movie is for the newcomers not the old-timers like me. Any event, the new movie was still entertainment but thats it. I hope they continue this sequel but use Carpenter again!
