Suprisingly boring (my comments and the film)

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2003)

Why anyone finds this frightening is beyond me. It's melodramatic, weak and very, very boring. The plot is almost nonexistent, and the characters are terrible. It's an utter mess. If you must have the "Thing" experience, stick to the original film, or better, the original story entitled "Who Goes There?". In short, this is more like a Scooby Doo episode than a respected film.
