a handful of nice effects bits
some ok acting, but an enormous waste of time when you can watch Carpenter's

The bit where the guy's face split in half on the chopper was proper unexpected & was some ace effects
Great effects in general that made me smile, but yeah - the whole thing was kind of a pointless remake.

the first wobble of his face was superb, I would have prefered more of the subtlety
and less of the silly arm centipedes and stuff

Probably wouldnt have been as scary or life-threatening for the characters if people just went around with their faces subtly wobbling
I do wish mutant monsters in stuff like this and dead space would make more human-y / moaning / guttural noises than dinosaur roars and screams.
Some silent hill monsters make subtle human-y noises, and that makes them far more disturbing than another screamy 'im going to try and make you jump' monster.

I used to work with a couple of professional film critics, who were - of course - arseholes of the highest order.
One Monday I informed them I'd just watched Nikita, and they asked me what I thought, so I told them I didn't think it was as good as The Assassin.

I'm assuming you were being funny, but having never seen the Bridget Fonda film, for all I know it could be ace :D
