I had to look a list of prequels, since I was having trouble just remembering some.
Might not be the greatest, but I remember really liking Rouge One
Cruella was a blast, but I could see people arguing that the main character was a completely different person than who was in the 101 Dalmations
The Thing (2011) did a good job, with some criticisms (over use of CGI). It was never going to be as great as the original, but I still enjoyed it
I watched the 2011 The Thing last night which sparked the conversation today!
Haha, i guess that means you didn't care for it, if it sparked that particular conversation
I mean, it wasn't bad but also...not that great? Agh, I hate dishing on movies. They're so hard to make!
Thinking about it, i think you're right.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't it "okay things safe", just retread many of the same plot beats while making relatively superficial changes?
I totally get not wanting too critical on movies, especially when you're involved in the process yourself.
Absolutely! I enjoyed watching it, but was just disappointed they didn't do anything new with it.
