Anyone that loves the Carpenter version, please, do not go and see this movie. Ignore it. Show these fucking cunt bastard fucker sons of shit in Hollywood that we wont put up with their crap any longer!. I don't care if Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a blowjob giving fantasy of mine or not. She doesn't belong in this movie. She is like the female version of MacReady in this movie. That ruins it.

Lack imagination. It should have started with Mc Cready and it lying frozen in the ice. Then some other fools find them and take them to like a isolated village out there somewhere or some other outpost that has more populace.
Then do the rinse repeat only with some new thrills and twists. Ramp up the old paranoia no one know what the fuck or who the fuck is "The Thing"

They should have done the opposite of the first two Things. Have the army take the alien somewhere warm like Area 51 so we can have more characters and potentially more action and a higher body count. 
It's a prequel, so that couldn't happen.
I was a huge doubter of this film, but it was awesome.
I don't want to say it lacks the suspense/mystery of the '82 version, because it is there, but it doesn't kick you in the ass like '82 did. I wasn't thinking, "who the fuck is it??" the entire time. It was more of a "when is it going to show it's face?" Paranoia wasn't a major theme here, although, I don't think they were going for that same feeling.
The acting was pretty good for the most part, but who am I to judge? Most of the actors looked legit scared out of their skin and that's good enough for me.
The whole film remains genderless, even though the lead is a female. A lot of people thought the woman would be the know it all, and nobody would believe her and she'd turn out to be right all along, and it would be insulting to men everywhere.
All I'm saying is, don't let the female lead turn you off of the movie. Now, the visuals. There was some truly horrifying stuff that even Carpenter would approve of. It was exciting to see the Thing in it's many different forms. Couple this with the trademark screams of '82 and you have a winner.
If '82 was 10/10, this one is a solid 8/10. Get off your high horses and give it a chance. I'm glad I did.

I haven't seen it yet, but was just watching some "behind the scenes" stuff. Apparently they wanted her to be like an "Ellen Ripley" style character.
I'm not going out of my way to see it, but I'll give it a look-see if I happen to catch it around somewhere.
I love the original and when i heard about the new one I was pissed because how the hell could they remake such a classic, luckily i was wrong and it was a prequel and honestly I saw it the other day and it is really really good. Not as good as the original but it doesnt dissapoint with the messed up alien scenes. If you love the original i highly highly reccomend that you go see it.
Truth!!
