I wish theyd make up their mind about Myers treatment to children. He spares young Lonnie and that baby from the previous film yet has no qualms killing that father and son and now the kid wearing the skull mask. Which is it?

You could argue he was spared because of the cops proximity.

I think it is laughable that some of you guys watch any kinda slasher film, especially fucking Halloween, and expect the characters to make logical decisions or for it to make perfect sense

It was good for what it was. Lol @ expecting it to be groundbreaking or some high brow cinema. The shape had some bad ass kills.

I think it was good for this exact reason. Finally the characters didnt just laugh and joke with a mass murderer on the loose. They actually went after him and took action. Only part that was dumb to me was hospital scene where that chased a random guy to his death. I didnt like that part.

This one was good. They didnt make everyone completely helpless which I really liked. The characters were interesting. Ive got no complaints.

Also, why do we have to spoiler tag? If you havent seen the movie why are you in this topic?

Kid in the mask was also clearly an asshole. It was inevitable.

pretty lame. michael is compelling because of the mystery of what he is. any clarification or exploration of it is demystifying and missing the point. no sequel to 1978 is necessary. there is nowhere to go. it said it all perfectly. it's supposed to be a scary story, a legend, not a saga with a resolution

I legitimately dont care that much if the director said that, and Im not sure what the director said, or why it was said. I dont care because the content of the film speaks for itself, and its clear on a surface level that they aimed to film him as a man while creating a sense of supernatural power using mostly the editing and other camera tricks. So,

They intentionally caused confusion & raised questions & tried to hit both sides of the spectrum. Forget the demographic. Sometimes I myself wanna see Michael as a supernatural force..... and other times I want to see him just as a regular serial killer thing. The movie understands that & delivered something of a tolerable middle-ground. They film him appearing and disappearing at will, tanking bullets that appear to go right through him, and the climax gag involves the infamous serial killer slow walk vs someone running from them

Michael Myers once pushed his thumb threw someones forehead. Hes been blasted to kingdom come by a firing squad. Hes been shot in the head. Hes been burned. Hes been crushed. Hes been impaled. The major damage he took in H2018 (his hand) was used this time around to make him appear more like a ghost or a monster, with an inhuman handprint, and doesnt hinder him whatsoever.

Oh they shot him, but oh the didnt shoot him, but oh he could have survived because they were fresh, but oh he couldnt have survived, I mean.... This isnt criticism, man. This is how you enjoy the movie :) Was it good was it bad? Do I like these characters do I not? Do I need to watch the movie a 2nd time? Hows my memory? How are the discussions going, etc
Oh lord dude are you really tryna say this movie was highly indepth and had social commentaries and tried to confuse the audience tryna play both sides by purposely not making Mikey black or white?

If you didnt like it, then you didnt like it. But dont say its bad. That doesnt make something else better by comparison.

Halloween
Metroid
Evangelion
Demons Souls
Kotor

these are paths we must largely walk by ourselves
You sound like someone who thinks they're saying something wise but is instead just spouting word vomit.

Brutal kills seem to be about the only thing this movie has going for it, and I think I'm just completely past the point of celebrating movies because of that. It just feels mean-spirited and juvenile.

That was beautiful. I liked getting a glimpse into Michael setting up the scare for whoever finds their bodies.

And shout out to the actor behind the mask. His movements and mannerisms were so good. It really felt like I was watching some kind of inhuman killing machine carry out its directive not just a serial killer on the lose.

I loved it

Honestly the real issue was lol I haven't even seen the movie, just found it funny that there are massive spoil blocks for a bunch of posts. Anyways, I saw the Halloween movie, that newer recent one when it came out, and yeah it's dumb that he can't be killed, cuts out any tension of Jamie Lee Curtis being successful or not.

This was my concern going in. The movie is about that fact. Its a non-issue. Balls in the moviemakers court for a good 3rd act. Fin.

The point is even once he does die the effects of the trauma he caused will live on for generations.

Even locked away for 40 years the events of that one night in 1978 effected a lot of people and still do. Look at how Laurie lived, how her daughter lived, and what the granddaughter is going through now.

Trauma, ptsd, paranoia. Michael will be torturing any of his survivors and their kin long after he truly dies.

It touched on a lot of points, including the concept of the victim becoming an abuser & exploring whether (or not) Michael Myers is a natural born sociopathic killer.

Did he come from a broken home?

Was he bullied?

The lynch mob mentality being on the forefront, but also highlighting the fact that Michael Myers is more than the sum of his parts, sure, but in more ways than one. Thats an ode to the Jaimie story, mostly. Consequently, I think their themes got a big boost from Joker more than anything.

Yea, I dont normally like horror films lol. But I went with 2 friends and Im ok if its opening night with lots of people in the theater (being around others makes me less anxious, I appreciate the nervous laughter from the audience)

The jump scared werent bad, and were pretty well-telegraphed (I shield my eyes sometimes too when theyre exploring in the dark and you just know hes gonna pop out of somewhere lol)

As another user mentioned, this is more like an action-horror movie than just horror. It was fun!
Sounds like a great time then, thanks! Ill go for the theater experience instead of staying in then.
