I have to say I didn't care for it. I was one of many who tech screened it on Wed. and as a whole we thought it was pretty so-so. For the first half hour I couldn't figure out what was bothering me and then I realized it was the make-up.
No one, except Johnny the youngest of them all, had lines on their foreheads and the light reflecting off of Jessica Alba's overly shiny and swollen lips (to make her look sexy I suppose) nearly blinded me. All I could think was, "This movie was sponsored by Botox cosmetics."
And the final fight scene was a terrible let down for me. So much time for what I though was barely believable build-up for a fight scene which should have been a first encounter in the middle of the film.
On the other hand the SFX make-up for the Thing was *awsome*. I loved the fact that you could see him breath. And Johnny was fun (and cute.)
I do agree with the ability to recommend it to parents although seeing what I do at the theater, very few parents pay attention or care.
