I know you loved the 2011 version, but the CGI was the least of its problems. The script sucked rocks, the characters were all uninteresting, bland and other than the two leads, interchangeable. No distinct personalities like in both the other versions, just cannon fodder for the monster. The movie gets a very marginal prop for tying into the 1982 version at the end, but otherwise it was a completely unoriginal and unnecessary exercise in banality. Yeah and I'm under the impression they put the girls in there to make up for the complaints of not having any in the remake. Token females. Without getting into the whole "The Thing is not a remake of The Thing From Another World" (it isn't) argument, I don't see why they should make up for The Thing 82 having an all male cast. The book it's based on has no female characters. The addition of a female character in TTFAW was more like tokenism...I'd like to say it was one of the major things that that film divereged away from the book, but that was the least of it's crimes....it has very little in common with the book or JC's adaptation. |
