I agree with you the most on here, and what really pist me off the most was that they said he would be more human in this, and that was the biggest crock of ****. He was even more non human in this than the others. He got shot, nothing happened he got hit by a car, stabbed, and so on and so forth. So for them to say this movie Myers was more human like was laughable and made this movie even worse. The scene where the lady in the bathroom stays on the ground screaming forever, she could have escaped. Then the blond tripping on here sock was just overall great writing lol, not! The plot was so bad. I mean your the one I can talk to for hours about how bad this movie was and the choices they made, absolutely made no sense yet pple justify them like it was a great movie. I have to be honest I have no intention of buying this movie or watching it again. I watched it twice, once in the theater once at home and it was worse the second time. I wanted to at least give in another go but it was by far worse the second time. I still can not understand for the life of me how pple like this? I tried to find one thing to like and that was the mask, even the score was just okay. The kills were cool I guess, but I keep reading pples comments saying this was awesome and like 78 Myers, **** no it wasn't 78 had tension atmosphere great plot, uniqueness, everything stood out and was new. Nothing stood out and everything was done to death already, so for them to go back and copy it in a way and all the other sequels, was a bad choice. Listen, I grew up in the 70's saw all of them. Most in the theater and loved one and two, three was awesome as a stand alone movie, 4 was okay 5 didn't like. Reason I liked 6 was I saw it in the theater and at least it had atmosphere and tension, story wasn't the best but producers cut was better. I went back east to watch it where if felt like Halloween. I mean this movie wasn't exciting had no feeling about it. No real movement in Myers like 78, no head tilt really. This is one of the worse Myers to me. To bad I thought this movie had potential not a boring plot where they copy everything then bad choices through out. With the worst ending of any Myers movie to date. I mean how ****ing dull was that? No great battle between Jlc and Myers. Forgettable, every character, no one stood out. No nudity, no real great kills. No emotion to any characters. The guy next to me ****ing hated it. As a fan I put on a sane face but inside I was not happy. As this anticipation came and went so fast. Horror will never be as good as when it was in the late 70's and 80's. I mean can you find anything you liked? I say mask, and a couple kills, but they didn't even show a lot more kills, I mean the kid in Elrod's yard he just ****ing stands their. I mean it was like a typical dumb **** in a horror movie who is just waiting to get killed. I felt that way about every character. Jlc wasn't a bad *** like Ripley that pple are saying. She was average at best. It pains me to talk this way about my favorite horror character, but I have to say it because it needs to be said. It is hard for me to even hear it was good because since when did boring become good these days, or rushed movies? The tone of the movie was hideous as well. I mean the fact that this mfer just happens to be in Haddonville going on a killing spree meeting Jlc, was laughable. No new ideas. No logical ideas. No logical characters. Oh also no innovation, Halloween 2 was so much better, hell even H20 had such a better ending. I mean who thinks of these bad decisions through out?
Okay I guess I can stop, but to justify this as even okay is a stretch. So, hearing some say this was as good or if not better as the original, actually gets me upset. It is a slap in the ****ing face to John Carpenter and a great movie. With the technology and cgi and everything new movies can do these days compared to the 70's. In this they didn't do any of it good. It is the generation of boring bad movies, all comic boring crap or rushed movies. I mean other than a comic movie when did you see a good movie. Hell I would watch Hereditary over this any day. Actually, this is a stretch but I would watch the new Predator over this lol! Oh I even went to Pasadena Convention for the 40th and that was awesome, right before the movie, when I had hope in this new movie. That is no destroyed.
