The characters were well written and The Thing has always been my favorite one but the movie mmmm is simply mediocre, same as the sequel which I like better.

Yes I won't be interested in seeing this rebooted either, nor any more reboots/remakes of any comic characters after this unless they get RAVE reviews. Like
X-Men 2
level reviews, all the reboots of late have been absolutely terrible (
Man of Steel
had what was likely the worst cinematography I have ever seen in a big budget production and atrocious writing with not one line of memorable dialogue, it was a horrible movie).
As for this incarnation yes it was alright. It had to compete against X-Men and Spider-Man which were handled better but the casting was pretty good and the story was okay. I think the real old school fans like yourself probably would have rather seen Doctor Doom handled differently? I think the actor did a good job with what he was given.
A third movie might have been really good. The cast would have had a more cohesive dynamic by then and they may have poured on some good stuff IF they got a good script.
Oh by the way pay no attention to jimmymacknj, it was raised by orangutans.
