Loved it.

But not sure if I'd feel the same if I hadn't been a fan of the last two: - maybe too many 'in' references?

Both the original films were great. This one had better be good too.

I'm still not sure how the thing keeps your clothes intact when it devours you?

(and don't get me started on Antarctic dentistry)

Not yet, probably will do, but hard to see how they could improve on the 1982 version. Is the new one any better - or much different?

Always wondered why an Antartic research station would need so many flame-throwers.

It absorbs them don't it, makes them into a soup.

(and don't get me started on Antarctic dentistry)

An intelligent alien is found on earth that can mimic any other living creature, feel pain from any separated cell and you wonder about the dentistry accuracy?

Much the same as the first one in my opinion. In isolation its a good film though.

Is it possible to watch this online anywhere?

Thanks Squidlord, I sussed it- 'researchers feel the extreme cold 'shrinking' their amalgam fillings, they quickly spark up a flame thrower to warm up the room - hence averting a crippling sensodyne addiction.

Drac he's behind you.

I love the originals, I even like the computer game on ps2 (possibly the best film game made) and was expecting to not like the new film. It's actually not that bad. Could have been better could have been worse.
