Sadly I don't think a directors cut can fix the problems with the movie. Taking away my feelings towards the rebooted franchise the film still has a huge problem. It isn't different from the original, nothing changes with the characters or for that matter the story. Michael escapes, stalks Laurie, Annie stabbed presumed dead, Loomis hurt presumed dead, Michael shot presumed dead and Laurie appears to go crazy. That is what happened in the first, exactly what changed? It just feels like a pointless movie if you could make a third one which could easily be watched directly after the 1st.
