The remake or whatever you wanted to call it wasnt to bad. But i would have to agree that he could have done better. Im a huge halloween fan. Im hopeing that he goes with that Michael Myers is evil. Like they did in original. He isnt a maniac. Michael moves in the shadows and isnt so damn brutal. I dont think Michael Myers should die. The remake or whatever you wanted to call it wasnt to bad.

I dont think Michael should stay dead, i enjoy the Halloween movies. But I REALLY REALLY dont want to see Taylor Scott return as Laurie Strode, she was just terrible in the remake, I actually wanted Laurie Strode to die cause she was so damn annoying. I dont want Rob back, his remake was ok but would rather see someone else take hold...someone seasoned and good at directing. Shouldnt be hard to finf someone willing after all Halloween and Michael are legends. Ugh. I dont think Michael should stay dead, i enjoy the Halloween movies.

I'm a huge fan of the original, so before I watched this "re-envisioning", I pretty much knew I wasn't going to LOVE the movie. However, there were aspects that I really thought were great, like the ending (which was very closed, so I was really surprised to hear about a sequel). I also liked the fact we did learn a little bit more about Myers, but we didn't have to know EVERYTHING that happened in his life. We find out too much and his character loses the mystery and evil that made him so interesting in the first place. BUT the biggest problem that I had with the remake was that I just simply didn't care about Laurie or any of the other "victims", so there was no emotion when they got slashed to pieces. This would have easily been solved if he didn't focus so long on Myers as a child and actually took some time to develop the heroes as well. And I totally agree with Weav, the white trash, foul mouthed characters worked for a 1000 Corpses and Rejects, but were totally unnecessary in Halloween (as was that rape scene). Having said all that, I'd rather Zombie do Halloween 2 (at least he has a direction, albeit one that some hate) rather than someone who has no original ideas and is willing to make it just for the sake of doing it. God knows nobody wants another Resurrection. Hmm thats funny because I have very mixed feelings about Zombie’s Halloween.

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:22:42 +0000 http://www.themovieblog.com/?p=16145#comment-174372 quite odd. I said it before, I thought Zombie made Halloween and ended with the intent that Myers was dead and there was no way he was gonna come back unless thru some voodoo magic which I always hate and assumed Zombie wouldn't go that route with it. Oh well. If a sequel has to be made I'm glad he is doing it and not someone else. quite odd.

It is Zombie's own rethinking of the Carpenter film, and while he can't hold a candle to it, and while there was only one good jolt in the film, it really does not matter if <em> he did do a great job, good job or rancid job</em> Why? Something to do with the ending...Michael Myer's head being blown off at point blank range? How Zombie made him more "mortal" and less "bogeyman force"? SCrew this; I dare someone, triple fucking dare, to remake not Halloween 2 in the hospital but <em> Halloween III: Season Of The Witch</em> I want Zombie's take on eviil toy company Silver Shamrock and the ghouls in suits with yellow goo for blood!
