John Carter 7.5/10 - rewatched
Pisses me off that this movie was far better than it was given credit for during release. Between critics and purists talking crap about this film it cratered in ticket sales and there will never be a sequel.
The marketing for it was virtually non existent too - it was handled poorly overall.John Carter 7.5/10 - rewatched

This movie had so many opportunities to be awesome and it's very generic. I will never forgive the fact that they cgi'd over all the practical effects. Having seen that effect reel of the original stuff, it looked so much better and scarier. The CGI ended up totally flattening everything out and ruined some incredible work.
I thought The Thing (2011) was pretty good. I didn't read anything about it before watching. I thought it was simply a reboot/remake of the '82 version, so I was surprised to see it tie-in to the beginning of the '82 movie. Pretty cool.
Yeah, the CG was over the top and hilarious at times, but I was able to overlook that and still enjoyed the story.
