First of all, let it be known, The Thing v.3 is not a remake of the original John Carpenter’s The Thing that was released to movie theaters on June 25, 1982. The famous science fiction horror film that was directed by John Carpenter and starred actor Kurt Russell is a classic in itself. John Carpenter’s The Thing was a remake itself of the classic Howard Hawkes and Christian Nyby science fiction film called The Thing from Another World. John Carpenter’s The Thing did adequate at the box office and made 3.1 million dollars in its first opening weekend.Get more information here. http://wanderwoman17.com/2011/10/26/movie-review-the-thing-what-a-dog/ Some film critics such as Roger Ebert gave it an overall good rating for scariness and special effects.

The question now is this. Can The Thing v.3 be as equally successful at the movie theater and get some good reviews in addition? Is the third time a charm or not? Well, the answer to this question remains to be seen, because the movie was recently released and this is something that only time will tell. This new science fiction horror film has all the markings of good scary horror one must admit. Also, since it is a prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing, this means it has its own unique story to reveal to movie goers who wish to see it for themselves. This newer version was just released to movie theaters in the United States on October 14, 2011.

The critic reviews for The Thing v.3 are mixed and this translated means that there are mixed reactions about it. Some people are comparing it to John Carpenter’s The Thing and others are not feeling so hot about it as a movie. Is the third time around for The Thing a charm? Only individual movie goers can make this decision for themselves after seeing it for themselves. For some, it works as a scary and effective movie, while others are not that taken with it to be honest.

Movies are in the eye of the beholder and the heart/mind. We either like them or we do not. I think this new release falls into we either like it or we do not. It is something that must be left open to personal like and what not.
