…we watched it at my brother’s apartment, me, my brother and his girlfriend. And wow, I came to the definitive conclusion. This and Halloween V are definitely the worst of the series. From the very beginning, with the unlikable duo of reporters and then the plethora of similar, kill-them-all characters, this is worth watching probably just once in a couple of years. Not saying that I was falling asleep, but the movie is simply no match with other, better movies of the series. The storyline of Michael being in detention for 40 years is beyond absurd.
Yes, there are 13 Halloweens, but there is something likable on almost every one of them, even Resurrection, which is so bad it’s good. Even the last two seques, which belong to the same storyline, are still more watchable than this. But this movie and Halloween V are simply, mhew.
edit: See the other thread for what I wrote about RZH 2 possibly being the third worst sequel ever.
Such a shame. The hype was out of control for this one; the new mask, Nick coming back as the Shape, JLC… Best part of this film was the mask. There were shots that really gave me that classic Kirk vibe. Too bad they couldn’t put a good story together for this one.
My brother said it was OK. For someone, who is not into the franchise as much as we are, it might be an OK horror movie. But a real fan, who tends to think about things - especially after repeteated viewings - will never end up liking this movie.
I had lots of problems with the new trilogy especially Ends, You still gotta admit the Michael we got in this movies definitely wasn’t the problem the writing was. This Michael is a least the second best in the franchise, His mask, his mannerisms, even him unmasked is still creepy unlike Tony Moron!.
The way he smashes Dr. Sartain’s head is awesome.
But then again, they made him a 60 years old man. This is a problem, I think. But as long as he is masked and armed, he’s doing a good job, for sure.
I’m referring mostly to the 2018 movie, I liked Kills and Ends. Did he ever appear without a mask in those two? I don’t think so.
I never minded his age, and I don’t like seeing him unmasked in any of his movies, I really didn’t like his unmaking in the original. Your damn right seeing him smash Sartain’s head in was awesome, probably one of the best things in the movie.
Boy, it’s getting really confusing again, as I read my previous post.
To put it simple - the 2018 Halloween is a BAD movie.
Why’s it getting confusing I’m just saying the movie was bad but Michael wasn’t
The unmasking was a terrible creative choice. From the very beginning we’re seeing Michael as a balding old man. No mystery at all to what’s behind the mask. They should never have shown anything above his neck if he wasn’t wearing the mask. It took away from the mystery of the character.
I don’t think they should have shown his face in any of the movies including the original. He’s the Michael Myers we know with the mask always on.
I’m sorry for for upsetting you yesterday, and just barging in to your conversation about Halloween 2018. Hope we could get to know each other better and be friends
My friend, you never upset me. All I said was that things are getting confusing, because one post I say this movie is bad, the second I say a kill in it is good. Just wanted to clarify it and made the definitive statement that this indeed is a bad movie.
It had nothing to do with you.
So what is your favorite Michael Myers mask?
Too many masks, I have to go with the original, I guess.
One more thing, which will always be one of the most interesting pieces of Halloween trivia ever - the fact that there is a Native-American actor behind the mask in H5. Probably one of the extremely small number of good things about this awful movie.
How cool i never new he was native American. I have three favorite masks, Halloween 2018, Halloween kills, and the flashback 78 mask.
