They could've at least given it a different title, like 'The Thang,' or 'Da Ting.'

If they would have done that, i would have killed myself in order to roll over in my grave...

They should do a new "The Thing" Game instead of a movie. The first one was so good, and freakishly scary as well.

I read the wikipedia on that game and kind of wanted to play it. It had a pretty unique and interesting idea and actually sounded like a great adaption to game of the movies.

Where's a Man-Thing movie already.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Thing

The comicbook story is quite good.
I picked up a few once long ago.

Knowing the comics, i expected much when the man thing movie came out.
Boy, it was horrible. The alphabet has 26 letters, but for that movie there should really be another character added after the Z to grade the movie. When pronounced, it should sound as when a person is puking. That bad...

Man thing is really a movie that needs a remake... Tim Burton could make this movie work for Marvell. :)

Yeah that "Thing" was just horrible. I am hoping for a better remake.

Thinking about what a great movie Ang Lee made with the hulk (Best hulk movie so far,IMHO), i would know man-thing would be a good movie when Ang Lee would be the driving force behind it. Ang Lee knows how to give even a science fiction movie depth...

Ang Lee made an unbelievable story into a less unbelievable story.
Gamma radiation turning a human being in a green hulk. Perhaps the story will later be that Bruce Banner was saturated with the fungi genus that seems to thrive on radiation... Mutating him in the process during the blast... ;)

I really wasn't a fan of the Ang Lee Hulk. Liked the one with Ed Norton better.

I did Enjoy Ed Norton more as Bruce banner. But the Ang Lee movie just is the kind of movie i liked. I sure would have enjoyed an Ang Lee version of the incredible Hulk fighting the abomination story. But i admit, i have the incredible hulk as well purchased on dvd.

^I too like the Ang Lee version of Hulk. Most people preferred the Norton version as it's a more fun movie to watch. Lee's film is a smarter movie IMO. Though it does depart from the typical Hulk canon.
