The first one was awesome it showed the creature fully and in broad daylight.. unlike othere creatures.. where are creatures are affectted by nocturnal dysentry or something.. they like to come out only in dark :)

the original was a good movie, not a great one. the sence of humor in these foreign films is just to weird! and the plot seemed to be to be all over the place. i liked it, didn't love it.

I really enjoyed the first one, and i like how they managed to make me concentrate more on the struggles of the family and their determination to rescue their little girl other then WOW LOOK AT THE MONSTER!!!.....Even though when ever the monster did appear i TOTALLY said that. This was such a character driven creature feature and i really liked that about it. IM SOOOOO GLAD that this is not a prequel, i can not describe how powerful my hatred of prequels is. I see them as pointless and a waste of film. We know how things are going to end in them seemings we've seen the first one. Why go back just to explain ANYTHING especially in a creature feature.

the first movie was way to cheezy... like something Disney could've made. You like pixar-crap, go watch sumthin' like ice age.
