The biggest flaw is carrying over the "Halloween" name which im sure confuses fans of michael myers, understandable,but i look past that botch and enjoy the movie for what it is, original, strange and a good halloween story that no other movie is like.
Great in the sense that it was just as if you paused in the middle of the first one and it was really a four hour movie.Everything was right in the spirit of the original but Carpenter's directing talents would have the movie literaly just as good as the first but what are you gonna do I guess. Also, the plot was a little...well...not there. It just seemed like there wasn't enough story. Still a great flick though.
Absolutely the third best of the series i was really happy to see michael myers back to the bid screen too bad the one that comes after this one is the worst of the series.
This movie was pretty good. not as good as the original but the movie still had a good plot, still had tghe same actors and you find out michaels reasons for going after laurie.
One of the best sequels ever!!!
Clever starting right where the original left off.
We learn Michael's backstory and why he wants to kill Laurie. Best sequel in the series. Different from the original. This time it was very gory but we still had the suspense back from the original.
Characters were actually decent. And the storytelling was well done. Probably the best Slasher sequel ever.
I love this film, continues right where the original left off, the hospital is unoccupied and creepy, as micheal makes his way through the corridors, and loomis is back being his crazy self, and ranting about how evil Micheal is, also we learn about why Micheal has targeted Laurie, im sure u all know, but if u dont i wont ruin it
I thought the sequel was an excellent film it was actully the first halloween film I had ever seen! I saw it when I was 10 years in 1994 on the USA network and it's scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I'll never forget how well put together it was the only complaint I had was besides Loomis,Lauri and Brackett you really don't care for the newly added characters like bud your just somebody stab this dude already and the other dumb bimdo nurse that get's iced by the hot tub. It's still a great film and on the better Halloween sequels.
'Halloween II' is awesome because it grooves right off the vibe from the original. One of the problems here is John Carpenter isn't directing. I will always love 'Halloween II' for being the film in the series I probably saw the most on cable television, and giving me a whole new outlook on the song, 'Mr. Sandman'. But, upon repeated viewings (the latest being this last Halloween holiday), regrettably I find the film drags like a motherfucker. Carpenter's original was a slow-burn, but an expertly-crafted one with an air of impending doom that was well-worth the wait. This is Micael Myers at General Hospital. I found the setting boring, and lacking the atmosphere of a small-town neighborhood on Halloween night. Jamie Lee is back, but acts like a vegetable for most of this outing. The characters are lame, forgettable, and much more in the vein of a body-count than people you actually care about. Granted, I wasn't shedding a tear in the original when characters met their demise, but at least I was pulling for Laurie Strode, Dr. Loomis, Tommy Doyle and Lindsay Wallace. Here, you're kind of left with nothing but anticipating the next kill. I blame the Carpenter/Hill script, but also Rick Rosenthal's lame-duck point-and-shoot approach to the material. Rick returns to prove this point with the abortion, 'Halloween: Resurrection' years later.
I sound uber-negative, but there is much to like about this film: Michael Myers killing people/death by whirlpool/hypodermic needle to the temple/hammer-head/bat-shit Loomis/Laurie being related to Michael/eyeball shoot-out and 'flame-on' climax.
Though 'Halloween II' has its problems, but it's still one of the best sequels and feels most like the original out of the lot of them.
