Ok. I wonder about the process of making these 2 last movies. They start great but then turn into something else. Almost as if 2 different people make them apart and then just merged it. The last movie started with 20 good minutes. Then turn into a dark comedy movie. Now this movie started with 40 great minutes then it changed. Not as bad as the last one but still different. At least this movie does have that Halloween movies vibe. Still what last movie did wrong was disrespecting the classic Halloween plot and adapt it to new generations. Seems this movie did the same and treated the original story as something lame and as if they were better and improving it. Now finding a new Michael Myers sounds like a good idea. In fact, it would be nice to continue with future movies and still be related. But maybe the way it was done, wasn't the best path to take. I understand Michael Myers must be around 60 years old or more, so he won't be the same. But still he is the main Antagonist of the whole Halloween franchise. They claimed this is truly the last Halloween movie with Michael Myers so it should be him who finishes big, and they did. At the end Michael Myers was the main killer and got rid of the new one. The best part of the movie was the end. The fight between Laurie and Michael Myers. The final fight was great but didn't last long enough. Still I guess it was good. It kind of resolved everything about the Halloween franchise and gave a proper end to Michael Myers. Maybe Laurie death along Michael Myers could have been better but still it was fine. They even left the possibility of a new Halloween movie. Someone else embracing the evil inside them. But without Michael Myers or Laurie it will be hard to be successful. These last 2 movies were barely holding on thanks to Michael and Laurie. Im sure that without them they would have been much worse. Still there were many things missing and many things they could have tried differently. Like the motives. The motives were so lame and poorly written. Laurie's granddaughter falling in love that fast when she has been struggling to trust a partner? Also, how the bullying judging was increased in this city. For a city that has gone through many deaths it felt weird. Again at times it felt as if the writer was a kid trying to prove he is better than the adults. No need but it happened. Like how Allyson behave as a spoil teenager with her grandmother Laurie. The fights felt force and without much sense. She acted as a teenager but I believe she was already an adult in her 30s. Or how everyone kept blaming Laurie out of the blue. Why? At times it didn't even fit with the plot but someone appeared just to blame her. I feel Horror movies are changing so much. But first I noticed that even on R rated movies you hardly see kids dying. But surprisingly it happened here. In a weird way but that was unexpected. But still Horror movies are changing so much. The only Horror/Comedy movie I remember used to be EvilDead. But now it seems they add dark comedy to every horror movie. It has been a long time since I have actually seen a Horror movie with actual Horror. Most are full of suspense and nothing surprising actually happens. They have become so predictable and they even add drama and comedy to Horror movies. These last 2 Halloween movies felt like it had this simple goofy comedy. Especially Halloween Kills. Or the Chucky show, which is good but it feels it has way too much comedy.
Still it was a good movie. As the last of the Halloween franchise it was ok.
Overall, it was a good movie. I would recommend it, especially if you have followed the whole Halloween franchise since the beginning. I would rate this movie with a 7.0. It had many bad moments but was definitely better and was an improvement of the last one. As a standalone movie is also a good watch.
(But hopefully they manage to do an extra movie where all the classic Serial Killers are brought together. Not a parody but an actual Horror movie with all the top killers in one place. Something to put Michael Myers as a Killer and that is it. Without much explaining on why he does it. Everyone, all killers set loose at the same time and eventually fighting among each other. Much like Freddy vs Jason. That movie was entertaining it was ok. Still they also added comedy but still it was good. Hopefully they make a massive killers crossover movie.)
Rating 7.0
