The worst thing about the 2011 prequel is they had filmed the whole movie with practical effects, like the Carpenter movie, which is one of my favorites of all time. If you've seen it, you may remember very little of these and a lot of cgi.
The studio or production company or whatever didn't like the practical effects and we got cgi Thing instead. I'd love to see the original effects, and I feel so bad for the people who worked so hard on it just to get scrubbed from the final cut.
