I liked it. There were a couple too many unintentional laugh moments (young Michael wearing The Mask just looked dumb, not scary or creepy), I felt like they spent a touch too much time with young Michael in the institution (I would've liked to see some of his teenager years in there), and I really disliked that they had to give Michael the standard bad childhood that always seems to result in serial killing in the movies. But the final act was well done and there were some effective performances (I particularly liked the kid playing Tommy). Worth the time and money to see it.

I also liked that they (seemingly) did an ending that didn't suggest a sequel. The idea of Myers as a standard (albeit super tough) human killer, rather than some supernatural unkillable demon like thing is good.

I liked it all though it didn't really stick to the original movie . I thought they'd explain more about Micheal Myers.

*Spoiler*

First of all in the original he had clean cut normal parents but in this one they were more Trailor trash. And in the original he had to be like 6 or 7 when he first killed his older sister but in this one he had to be about 9 or 10. I just wish they had explained more like what his obsession with those fuckin clown masks were or why he was killing. You don't really know why he did it. I know it's not supposed to be like the original movie since it's a remake. But if they could have explained more during the beginning what led up to Micheal becoming a killer I'd like it even more.

But all in all it was a great movie.

I thought this was horrible. It's way to much like the original, just with different actors. Too many lines are used from the original. They could have done something really cool with this but I thought it bombed.

I didn't go see this movie, but I did read about it at themoviespoiler.com.

When I heard Rob was making a Halloween remake, I was hoping that it would be part of the actual Halloween movie canon. I really thought this movie would make or break the series, but I'm still a little clueless on it's impact. It's hard to follow a series that keeps dropping the plotline and going with another idea.

Here's what I mean...

Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.

Michael Myers kills his family, and begins stalking Lori Strode. She is apparently killed in a car crash and has a daughter, Jaime Lloyd. Upon hearing of this daughter, Michael Myers chases after her. He finally kills her in Halloween 6, where we discover that Michael's rage is part of a curse known as the "curse of the thorn." It's a sacrificial curse in which Michael would have to kill his entire family to save many more from disaster. (Simple research). That explains it!

Halloween 3

Killer masks turn peoples heads into bugs and snakes...

Halloween 7 - 8

Lori Strode didn't die after all! She faked her death and joined a witness protection program. H20 makes no mention of Jamie Lloyd or the Curse of the Thorn, but rather ignores anything that was made after Halloween 2. Okay... I would have liked to see where this curse thing was going but fine. So why IS Michael after his family? Michael goes after Jamie and her son, only to be defeated by Jamie in a tables match in one of the school buildings. Years later Jamie ends up in a nut ward and Michael finally kills her. Now it's time to get her son right? Nope. It's time to go home, where there just happens to be a group of young kids filming a reality show in the Myers home. Michael wakes up at the end... and we're set up for a sequel...

Halloween 9

And we get no sequel. Instead we're taken back to the beginning. That's fine! Now we can get an explaination on why Michael is such a psychotic and unstoppable killer. But... we don't get the same Michael. Instead we get a much more human and aggressive version.

And here we are...

I think another Halloween movie would be great. What I am looking for though is consistancy. Pick a story... and go with it. The Halloween series leaves room for a director to literally pick up in three different places. They can pick up from 6, 8, or 9. All of which have different story lines with little to no closure.

This shouldn't really be considered a spoiler for Zombie's Halloween, but in this version all he wants to do is find Laurie since he hasn't seen her since he was a child. Also, he just pretty much dismantles anyone that is associated with her in anyway, shape, or form, and wants her all to himself (I guess). I understand what you are saying though, about how it was never explained in the originals.
