John Carpenter's The Thing
Well, I wasn't real crazy about this movie the first time I wacthed it, but since it is so highly regarded, I thought I'd better give it another go since I may just not have been in the right frame of mind or something. Anyways, I did enjoy it slightly more than the first time I watched it, but I still would have to call it highly over-rated if it's anyone's top 10 list, let alone the top 10 of our cumulative top 100 list. The story's pretty good, the acting is fine, the gore is decent, but the movie just seems to move along pretty slowly and I often would find myself thinking about something else entirely. The ending was alright though. All in all, this movie took a step up in my book upon second viewing, but I still think it gets over-rated quite severely.
