The Thing was such a good movie. Some of the best special affects I've ever seen. I'll admit I even enjoyed the sequel.

I hadn't watched either up until recently, so I watched them in movie chronological order, new one first, old one second. I liked them both, thought they were both great movies. Did I miss something?

The vast majority of sequences in the original The Thing were practical effects e.g. Puppetry, which is why I think it holds up so well. I absolutely agree on both points

The practical effects are virtually unrecognizable because of the CGI they over-layed (2011 film). I just recently watched the DVD’s special features and they showed a bunch of behind the scenes stuff. I couldn’t believe there were any practical effects at all by the way the butchered them with CGI
