well, me and the new ladyfriend sat down and watched RZ's first halloween on dvd (she'd not seen it, but is a fan of the first couple of JC halloween films) and then went and saw RZ's H2 in theaters friday. we both thought it was a super-shitty movie, here's why, minor spoilers may follow.
overall, i'd give this one maybe a 2/10, and that's being generous. and that's only for a couple of great kill scenes, the inclusion of the original NOTLD on the tv in the background in one scene, and the opening 30 minutes or so showing the aftermath of the first film, and then when michael comes back and is rampaging through the hospital...then you are shown that that part was one of his sister's many nightmares, and then it all goes downhill from there.
once you see how fucked up michael myers sister has gotten and what sort of style/friends she keeps (could just be a matter of taste, but i really didn't dig the whole "wannabe punk, party-animal, hipster-tramp" look), the film really takes a nose-dive...then you also realize that half the film is just a bunch of lame dream/nightmare sequences with loud screaming, flashing lights, and loud noise, it gets even worse. and wtf is with mikey eating raw dog meat? loomis was a fucking joke, they should have left his ass dead...then throw in the fact that RZ had to go and put his talentless wife into the film every twenty minutes or so, and this film takes on huge levels of suck-age. the diarrhea icing on the turd cake came at the end where his sister came outside of the shack with his mask on....skinny little stick-figure bitch wearing a ripped-up and torn michael myers mask that appeared to be the size of a parka....fucking lame.....half the theater was laughing at that part. i almost felt embarrassed for RZ at that point...
definitely not gonna pick up the dvd of this one. maybe one day it'll be on tv and if i've got nothing else going on, i'd sit through it again....but like i've said before, rz should've done H1 and H2 as one solid remake and that would've been okay...
a buddy at work last night and i discussed this film and he had pretty much the same opinion. catch it at a cheap-theater, walk out after she wakes up and starts whining about her dreams, and save yourself the time of sitting through the rest of this travesty.
