good but not Carpenter's best

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2000)

The Thing i feel is a bit over rated, i'm not saying it was a bad movie cause it wasn't bad but it wasn't all that good. i found the first 30 minutes very slow, it does pick up but The Thing never reaches it's full potential. Kurt Russell was great like always and John Carpenter also was great. it's cool how The Thing can get into the bodies of the people he kills it gives the movie suspense which was good in the final 40 minutes of the movie. like i said The Thing is not bad but not that good, but i would recomend it i give the The Thing 7/10, if you wanna see great films with Carpenter and Russell check out Escape From New York or Big Trouble In Little China
