Aw, man, I have peanut butter on my penis.
By which I mean, good movie. The first Halloween 2 is still my favourite in the whole franchise, which is why I kind of think this movie loses something in not making Laurie a Myers, particularly considering the theme is family and the choice of Michael's victims, which I guess just makes them coincidences? And while they say the first Halloween is the only one they're counting as canon, they keep things like Michael's regenerative abilities, though that was clear from 1, but also there's kids dressing up in the costumes from Halloween 3 and there's a character that seems right out of Curse of Michael Myers. (I marathoned them all at the start of the year, okay, I'm not remembering all this from the 90s). Anyway, it's enjoyable, there's some cool kills, solid humour, particularly from a kid at around the halfway mark, Laurie is basically Sarah Connor in T2 and I'd put this in the top 5, maybe even top 3, but I like the dumb movies in this franchise as much as the clever ones so my opinion might not be the best to go off of.
Not the best horror movie of the year but it's a lot of fun and even tense when it wants to be. It's way more entertaining than the boring reboots and as for the last 'burn it all to the ground and pick up in a random spot', I'd say H20 had more creative kills and maybe a more satisfying ending but overall, this is the better movie. I still would have wanted to see a movie that embraced its dodgy past because the fact that a prison was able to hold Michael for decades makes him far less menacing right off the bat. Don't worry, that feeling goes away after the action starts, but say he's been in prison since his last spree and just retcon a couple of deaths and you have a more interesting movie.
