I can understand how a die hard HALLOWEEN fan cannot accept RZ's vision of the franchise. This could have been given to another director who could have made this better or worse, we will never know. But let's not forget that RZ was given the keys to this franchise to do with what he pleased, and anybody that has seen his style of grindhouse, 70's style of filming should not be surprised where he was going with this. I have said and will continue to say that I'll take RZ's version over any of the pathetic sequels from #4 thru Resurection. Just awful. JC's will ALWAYS be the best, so I'm ok with whatever they decide to do. This is nothing new, Hollywood has been remaking films from the past since the 70's in every genre, not just horror. Don't be shocked if they remake JAWS or the EXORCIST, which seems CRAZY, but makes perfect sense if your in the film industry to cash in on a new generation that did not grow up with these films and are seeing it for the first time. I say if it REALLY bother's you, don't see it. It's your only defense.
