prequel almost the same plot as the sequel very predictable

User review rating: 5 October 20, 2011

none of you guys have any idea what you are talking about. obviously NONE of you have seen the first Thing. This movie did a great job in making a prequel and anybody who thought it was gonna be like "Dream House" or "Paranormal Activity" is just naive. This is why you guys ARENT critics. THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE.

Bad movie!!!! Save your money and watch the first one.

I really liked this prequel. The acting was good and the special effects were amazing. I was glad that the studio did not use big named actors because it added to the realism of the movie. I am a big fan of John Carpenter's 1982's movie and felt this movie was a good lead into that movie. Hopefully it will become a trilogy?

While I appreciate the attention to detail remaking the set and overall look of the movie, the extensive CGI and over-the-top ending are a bit of a dishonour to the original. It's lost a lot of charm.

I should have listened to the negative reviews. This is a pretty crumby movie. 1 star.

User review rating: 1 October 18, 2011

Sigh.

User review rating: 2 October 18, 2011

No build-up, drama or suspense. Absolute waste of time, watch the original.

User review rating: 1 October 18, 2011

Garbage!!!! Very disappointed with this movie. I was expecting more and thought I would get it. Some scary parts but overall not impressed.

User review rating: 3 October 18, 2011

Was too hyped to see this 'prequel' and left the theatre not happy, but not disapointed. The story was ok, cgi was subpar at best. It was all going great until the 'anti' climax. I found throwing the little snipets while the credtis were rolling, crap. Trying to tie this movie to John Carpenters in the last two minutes didn't work for me. It was nice to see the director of this Thing pay homage to Ridley Scotts 'Alien' as well as Carperters version. I would see this movie again, but not as many countless times as i've seen the 1982 movie!

Worse movie of the year. Period.

The Thing prequel sucks.

User review rating: 1 October 17, 2011

A stinking turd of a movie. A pig of shame. 2 hours wasted on another bad remake.

User review rating: 1 October 17, 2011

Not sure how these people have given it 5 stars? Movie was okay at best. Did they not watch the original? That was well done. This movie could have been done better with a better cast. Too bad John Carpenter didn't get the chance to make this movie!!!

With an 8 million dollar opening weekend, we can rest knowing The Thing is dead.

User review rating: 1 October 17, 2011

Not scary.

User review rating: 5 October 17, 2011

Very good movie for people who like this kind of "janra". It is believable and entertaining. Well spent time.

User review rating: 4 October 16, 2011

Wonderful movie and the cast was quite entertaining and expressive.

User review rating: 5 October 16, 2011

Best movie i've seen in the last 3 years. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

User review rating: 5 October 16, 2011

If you enjoyed the tension & atmosphere of John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing, then your in for a surprise... this is no remake, it is a prequel to the cult classic. The C.G.I effects are a modest & accurate representation Rob Bottin's original monster design. the score, the sound effects & pace are spot on. I read plenty of bad reviews going in, I already was concerned with some idiot coming in & ruining something I love... so I asked for a ticket to the crappy version of The Thing, sat down & found myself biting my nails accompanied by nervous foot tapping... all those old feelings I felt watching the 1982 version where there! Dread, nervousness, stress, worry for 103 minutes!

User review rating: 5 October 16, 2011

Ignore what the critics say. this movie is worth seeing...!

User review rating: 1 October 16, 2011

Movie was brutal!!! Don't waste your time. I was expecting a better movie. Just watch the original.

User review rating: 1 October 16, 2011

The story has been done to death, the CGI is awful, and the acting is stiff. Save the 12 bucks and stay home. 1 star.

User review rating: 5 October 16, 2011

The movie was good, have to be an avid fan to understand the movie otherwise, you'll compare it to a typical horror movie..!

User review rating: 1 October 15, 2011

I saw a way better version of this movie back in 1982.

User review rating: 1 October 15, 2011

Watched this movie earlier today - It's exactly like the orginal, only with crappy actors - congrats Universal!

User review rating: 5 October 15, 2011

Heart-pounding thrills, emphatically unpredictable; in a word, one of the scariest movies you'll ever see. 5/5

User review rating: 5 October 15, 2011

Love it! Creature effects were awesome

User review rating: 1 October 15, 2011

A pretty dull remake. Nothing new here - move along.
