Who did the worst job performing or playing Michael Myers?

That walk bugs me to death.
I blame the director, ha ha

I always tell people, go back and watch Chris walking and you’ll see what I’m talking about. He walks like Donald Duck, instead of Michael Myers lol

Chris Durand. He just felt way, way too different from the Michael we knew from Halloween 1 & 2. He also seemed to move a little quicker and robot-like rather than smooth stair down walk. I also think the way he killed his victims came off a little campy. I still think he did a fine job, but he just happens to be the worst in my opinion.

I was gonna say Tyler Mane, but as Knightblake said I don’t even count Zombie’s Movies as part of the series.

Honestly, all the actors who did Myers have done a pretty damn good job.

Although I gotta admit both Chris Durand and George Wilbur (H4) looked awkward walking in certain scenes.

I wouldn’t say any of the actors did a bad job. I’m sure they followed the directors instructions to move like a robotic Frankenstein. However, if I had to pick the worst, i agree with everyone else basically. H4 and H20

Shanks is my favorite. A lot more “acting” for Michael in H5 which I think he portrayed well. Loree’s potrayal blew Durand’s out of the water IMO.

Yer, Shanks really did a good job for what he was given. I actually think his Michael came off very dark and disturbing if a little bit much like Jason in some areas.

Wilbur too. He looked to puffed up for Myers, also to robotic.

ToddB

The Brute mask scenes are incredibly unsettling just because of his eye movements alone.

Shanks did do a good job! That laundry shoot scene…that was really nerving also knowing that Shanks was using a real butcher knife and Danielle could of really been stabbed if she would of moved a tad bit in the wrong area of the shoot. Damn :open_mouth: Shanks is a pro… :myers:

I’ll have to revisit h5 after hearing this talk about it, I don’t remember much of michael from the film so i guess thats why i chose him to be a least favorite

Might watch it myself this weekend. :myers:

Shanks was directed to give The Shape/Michael more rage and emotion, so that aspect was down to the director. Some of his movements were a bit off (hiding behind the tree when T-ah-ina and Sammy were talking outside), but I think he and the director of photography worked well together in a lot of scenes because there were some creepy slow scenes. I actually think Shanks’ walk as The Man in Black was more Shape like than when he played The Shape though.
My favorite performances are still the teams that made 1 and 6 as they had such menace to their movements and presence.

I like Michael myers.

Wow, I like Michael Myers too, we have so much in common.

Id have to go with how the Shape was portrayed in H20. I actually loved Wilbur!

Chris Duran is the worst then the no name who played him in ressurection dick warlock is my favorite actor in the role he glides with with simple but none the less scary and evil smart 2nd favorite is George p wilbur for all the shit he gets he did a damn good job in 6 AND 4 and don shanks from h5 was awesome sure the movie needs fixing and most people hate the mask but its grown on me

I like them all! Each one brought his own thing to the character. :jack_o_lantern:

Dick Warlock. Just too robotic and the whole look just doesn’t do it for me. H2 in general is a lesser favorite of mine. Although I love H4, I feel Wilbur was just as robotic as Warlock. However, his portrayal in H6 is one of my favorite portrayals from a body language standpoint. Much looser and more aggressive

Anyone after Halloween II with a stipulation, Tyler Mane. Tyler did a good job with his own “Myers”.
