The Thing all the fucking way

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Kurt Russell in one of his best roles ever thank you

 

[Chris]

Went Infinity War here, was close between it and The Thing and wouldn't mind either moving on. No real hate on RoboCop bc it's great too lol just not on the same level for me

 

[Lady Redfield]

The Thing

 

[Marty McFourth]

You know what, I'm actually going to go The Thing here. Had a change of heart and feel like I always underrate it until I watch it again and realise how awesome it is.

The Thing gets my vote.

Admittedly, I haven’t seen ANY Avengers films because they’re not my thing at all.

I really like Robocop as well.
1 vote is a shame.

2 now!

Not really a fan of Infinity War. Endgame was much better IMO. Both The Thing and Robocop are set in stone classics for me.

Superhero films (Marvel, D.C, etc) that I’ve seen are the two original Spider-Man films.
That’s it.

Agreed, both classics of their respective genres.
Not sure I ever want to watch the remake of Robocop, though.
Is it any good?

 

[Keith]

The remake isn't too bad actually. Worth watching at least.

I think it might be on Amazon Prime.
Might give it a chance then.
