People loathed Rob Zombie's Halloween for spending an hour showing you his childhood.
Then Halloween Ends said "hold my beer..."
This new trilogy literally took the story of one movie and stretched it out into three. This is how you end up with pointless drama and random new characters.
The people behind these should be ashamed of themselves. They were not made by true Halloween fans and were not made for true Halloween fans.
These filmmakers had far too much freedom with a franchise with a rich history...and it shows.
What a sad way to see an empty, lifeless and meaningless end to such a character.
I can't even begin to convey how insanely inept it is to see the "emotional" climax with booming John Carpenter music and its the first glimpse of an actual Halloween movie but there's only 3 minutes of movie left.
They forgot to build up to the climax...the climax they wanted to move you with yet not guide you to.
Stupid stupid stupid writing and directing.
The dialogue was cringy and nothing that any self-respecting humans would ever say out loud. There are moments when we should just be shown emphasis on something when imstead we get spoon-fed awful words to make certain our dumb brains know what's going on. The characters go against their nature just to make the story move, the story that seems to have been written the day before shooting. And they forgot that the last movie of a trilogy should sum up the characters from the previous installments and not resemble the first movie of a new trilogy.
OH, and they forgot this movie is about Michael Myers too. I know, I know. Easy mistake right...
My god, the fact that these exist just crushes my heart and any remaining faith in Hollywood as competent storytellers.
I just can't.
