Very disappointing...

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worst film of the Halloween franchise! Any film with buster rhymes in it should not be watched.

John Carpenter's 1978 'Halloween' is wholly deserving of its status as a horror classic. To this day it's still one of the freakiest films personally seen and introduced the world to one of horror's most iconic villainous characters Michael Myers.Which is why it is such a shame that not only are all of the sequels nowhere near as good but that the decline in quality is so drastic. Ok, the original 'Halloween' is very difficult to follow on from, but most of the sequels could at least looked like effort was made into them. 'Halloween H20' is the one exception and the fourth film is also watchable. 'Halloween: Resurrection' is the worst offender. One of the worst sequels ever, of the genre and any genre, and one of the most pointless. 'Halloween H20' was a perfect place to stop the series, to have it resurrected so badly and in a way that disgraces the 'Halloween' name to intelligence insulting degrees is enough to make the blood boil. The only halfway good thing is Jamie Lee Curtis and she and her iconic character are written out in such a slap in the face way in a scene that is anything but creepy or suspenseful. Sadly that is the one scene that actually feels like it belongs in a 'Halloween' film.Curtis aside, the acting is absolutely dreadful. By far the worst acted of the sequels, yes worse than the 'Revenge...' and 'Curse...', with the embarrassment that is Busta Rhymes being the biggest offender. The entire cast of characters are far more annoying than Tina in 'Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers' which is quite a feat.Laughably awful dialogue, in a script that shouldn't have been approved beyond first draft if even that, can also be found. The film is even more ineptly directed than Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers' and the non-horror scenes in 'Season of the Witch'. Visually, it is far too gimmicky that it severely gets in the way of the atmosphere.The music, after improving drastically in 'H20', is even bigger a drawback than in the fifth and sixth films, no it is no longer one of the best assets like it was in the first four films. Here it sounds cheap, goofy and just doesn't fit in placement or in tone. There is nothing remotely creepy, tense, suspenseful or even entertaining here, the deaths cause unintentional laughs, nothing creative or shocking.The atmosphere is just ruined by that, gimmicky filming, a paper thin, confusing and ridiculous story that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, terrible dialogue and acting, intelligence insulting stupidity (Rhymes versus Michael, the nadir of the entire series bar none) and erratic pacing (mostly dull).In summary, should never have been made, an unforgivably poor quality and pointless excuse of a sequel and a film. 1/10 (a rare rating for me these days but this deserves it).

With "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later" it looks like we finally got the good "Halloween" sequel we've been waiting for and the story appeared to be over...until they made another dumb sequel which is arguably even worse than the other ones. The previous movie had Michael being beheaded by Laurie. This movie retcons this by saying that it was actually someone else wearing his mask. His throat was crushed which is why he didn't tell Laurie who he was. Then why didn't he just take off his mask then? More importantly, how was he able to survive being hit by a car when he was just an ordinary person? The rest of the movie is basically a reality show with Michael in it. It's about as dumb as it sounds. It features a bunch of people living in Michael Myers' house as part as some publicity stunt but they get killed off like any other characters do. All of these characters are annoying and pointless and it seems like they belong in another movie. We get more lame scenes with fakeouts of other people wearing Michael's mask. A lot of the padding is just everyone talking with no relevance to the story. It's a waste of time. *1/2

When I originally saw this film in 2002 I didn't mind it...at the time that is.After repeat viewings I completely see why so many hated this pointless entry into the franchise.This movie makes no sense and stands behind the most hilariously ludicrous nonsensical,and idiotic, explanation as to why Jamie Lee Curtis strode is in a mental institution at the beginning of the film.At the time I didn't mind the heroine but now again I see why so many hated her especially knowing in a deleted scene that she wound up saving one of the most obnoxious characters ever written to screen.The characters have no personalities two are pot heads,one is a pathetic dark goth like character,one screams at the drop of a hat and it gets tiring very quickly,one is a girl that seems to show self respect yet turns out to be a nympho,and lastly the boring stereotypical boyfriend that is constantly horny.Don't get me started on Banks and Rhymes either both are throwaway characters and Rhymes is instantly obnoxious,extremely unlike able,and you just...want...him..to..die quickly.I like Tyra personally however she wasn't given barely anything to do in this film,isn't on screen long,and essentially serves as another stupid soon to be victim for Myers.Myers was also boring and the actor playing him didn't really make much effort he wasn't scary not even the mask was scary the entire movie looked cheap and generic.The deaths are predictable and not that good,the jump scares are also predictable,as is who will survive,as is the tired twist ending that was utterly laughable.Oh yeah and the "teens" in the film especially the two guys trying to help on webcam to save victims in the house you...simply...want...to...DIE.The writers of this film took a perfect opportunity to allow Michael to slice and dice a room full of extremely bad,overacting,and obnoxious teenagers and completely squandered it.Lastly the webcam was truly distracting as well as obnoxious it ruined any ounce of suspense that there could have been.Flat out this movie sucked it is not scary,not interesting,very boring,and worst offense of them all they killed the most beloved horror heroine of this franchise at the beginning of this film.
