Review of The Thing (2011) by Rtheom — 03 May 2014
Definitely a case of trying to match the original without putting effort into it. Don't get me wrong, they have a lot of little references in there, but those small items aren't what made the original great.
There's so much action, there's no suspense, and while it wasn't necessarily a bad movie, it has no place with Carpenter's The Thing. If nothing else they SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM CG! You would swear the monsters were cell drawn sometimes, they're so obviously not a real thing, and that was part of what made the original so great.
You had REAL gore going on! You could almost feel it in your mouth, and that was super gross! These monsters felt like your typical Saturday Morning Cartoon aliens. If you're gonna watch this movie, make sure you see the original first.
