Halloween Twenty Years Later! Michael Still Kicks Ass!

Definitely suffers from Dawson's Creek-syndrome, with too many adults playing teenagers spouting dialogue that teenagers don't say. The only cool thing about the movie is the return of Laurie Strode, but seeing her back is SO wonderful I can completely forgive everything else. When Laurie locks herself inside the school, grabs an axe, screams her brother's name and the Halloween theme starts, I got chills and misty eyes. I even CRIED at the ending, it was powerful and beautiful.
As far as I'm concerned, this was the last Halloween film ever made. After the last two, I will never watch any new Halloween film ever again. The series ended on the *perfect* note with this one.
This movie is cool just for bringing back Laurie. And it has an awesome ending even if it turns out not to be what you think in the next movie.

not as good as I was hoping it to be but fun overall seeing jamie lee curtis return, i dont like that they discount the sequels and the jamie loyd character, but i understand why they did it. also, not being in haddonfield was a bit different too, casting was okay other than jamie lee curtis, i ddint feel much sympathy for any of the characters aside from her.
not bad, but could have beeen a real masterpiece sequel to the original 2

Very good sequel. Definitely the best, in my opinion, since Halloween 2. However, it had too much in common with the 'Scream' brand of horror to be really thrilling or scary, which I found to be slightly irritating.
I really enjoyed this film I thought the reuniting between Michael and Laurie was done great. It did seem a lot like the scream movies but I still really enjoyed this. For me it's the third best in the series. I liked the ending and thought that was the perfect way to end the series overall this was a great sequel thank god no more thorn. This is the type which you rather liked it or didn't and I really liked it.
I didn't think H20 was a bad movie it had a decent story line I just didn't like the conclusion to the film at all and I really didn't like it getting the Scream Treatment either and I honsetly have to say I like the scream series but, I don't want my halloween resembling scream hell there even some parts of the scream score in H20! It also was lame the Loomis wasn't in it even though that couldn't be helped because he passed away and I just don't think Laurie is that great of a protagnist for the film it would of been better off tying 4,5,and 6 together and beleive you could have done that it's possible than just egnoring 4 whitch was one of the sequels or you could of abdoned the story in 5 and 6 and tyed 4 with 7 it could of been done.
Kind of torn on this one. I firmly believe the 'good' outweighs the 'bad' here... but there's enough 'bad' to irk me enough to not like this film. I think one of the biggest problems here is 'H20' (terrible title) was birthed out of success brought on by the 'Scream' films. I mean, look at the damn poster. Now look at the 'Scream' poster. Questions? Believe me, I will take my Michael Myers in any fashion, even if I hate what materializes ('Revenge of M. Myers';'Resurrection'; 'Rob Zombie's'), as long as they keep making the films... maybe someone can get it right. Steve Miner came close. He went back to the roots of the franchise and brought back Laurie Strode's story to give it some closure. With that said, here's what irked me: Josh Hartnett as baby Strode who can't comb his fucking hair; Michael Myers' mask changing its look every other shot; moving the story from Haddonfield to California; LL Cool J (wtf?!); The lack of an Alan Howarth score; ALL of the characters/actors with the exception of Jamie Lee Curtis. Couple that with the amount of fake 'jump-scares' and you have one annoyed Halloween fan. I did love most of the climax/showdown of the film, though I found its conclusion to be too definitive for a Halloween movie. It's a valiant effort, but ultimately only a cut above the 'Halloween 6' (yeah, I said it).
