How I almost died because of a boring film

Rating: 2/10 (22 November 2002)

I made a huge mistake when renting 'The Thing'. Yes, it is a classic, but it just didn't fit my taste. First of all, I thought it would tell about a spirit, a ghost or something like that, but no, it was about a space creature! And god I hate space creature movies (except E.T.)! Especially this one. It was boring, though the idea was good and special effects too. But still, I didn't like it. Maybe it was the actors, maybe the directing... The dialogs were dull and stupid and the characters too. Only good thing about this film were the lovely Husky-dogs (which of course died during the movie...). So in one sentence: The Thing is a movie, that no-one who doesn't want to die because of boredness, shouldn't rent.
