This is unfair...I know many people didn't like the 2011 version but I thought it was equally great as the original. I was younger when I saw the 1982 version however and didn't know anything about what I was about to watch so it left a larger impression on me.

The original by miles, and miles, and miles. The remake/prequel heavily lacked in the suspense that the original was chock full of and also had CGI effects that were TERRIBLE. The practical effects used in the original looked a hell of a lot better and that's saying something, especially coming from a movie that's from the early 80's. As symbolized in the original, MacReady's battle with The Thing was similar to a game of Chess. In the remake/prequel, however, the battle between the female protagonist and The Thing is just a game of "let's try to act as generic as we possibly can". Sorry, Adebisi, but your hat is nowhere to be found in the remake/prequel.
I'm with you Reelz. The prequel lacked everything that made the 82' version great, most notably replacing the awesome practical effects with less than pleasing CGI.

the 82 version is a game changer so scary with the greatest effects at the time it still blows my mind its far superior even though the new version is decent.

I have nothing to say other than "I fully agree with Reelz comment".
