I'm still seeing it no mattter what. I've had plenty of disagreements with B-D in the past.

i disagree with what alot of people on here say about various movies. thats the great thing about opinions, everyone can make their own. im not looking for this to be john carpenter's halloween. it cant be. im looking for this to be a fun take on halloween, that brings michael back to being awesome as opposed to being in kung fu fights with busta. and to anyone that says this will ruin the original get a clue and lighten up.

Nick I agree with you I can't wait hope other people do the same.

i fell the same B-D has blasted many other movies that where good i think rob zombie will not let us down

I will see the movie tomorrow and give my opinions then. As of the moment, I don't have a very good feeling, believing that, ultimately, Zombie may have tried to make Michael a "sympathetic" character--there's no way around it when you delve into somebody's background, trying to explain things too much in an attempt to "justify" or "rationalize" somebody's behavior. When one does that, they're generally looking for empathy/sympathy. That was the beauty of the original--Michael's ultimate motive was unknown, so one didn't know what to expect or how to relate which leads to the biggest fear... That of the uknown. I have some thoughts on how the story couldn't have taken some real, geniune twists and played upon the audiences expectations while also making it relevant to real-world issues of today that would have been quite interesting in my opinion, but alas, I know this movie, with its gore and high body count, probably isn't aimed at the approach I would have taken.

Wow that was harsh.

It wasnt unknown to us, the viewers of the original,you cant stop pure evil,not everything falls into this/that catagory and has a label we know on it,real evil is a force that cant be reasoned with or anything,Carpenter just personified that in Myers....you try to flesh the guy out too much or shed light on him (too much),and its not scary...what you DONT see is whats scary.

you know those moments in cheesy films where something is unintentionally funny? be prepared for at least 3-4 of those here. the best part of the movie deals with the schoolyard bully, but unfortunately that takes place early and there is still an hour left.

JeffCon you are killing me (hahahaha)... Thanks for your info on the last thread. I'm still getting over the disgust. I knew the writing would be a problem so that is embedded in my brain already. The story is going to be interesting. Anyhow, I'm still going... I've been telling myself to go in with an open mind... Go in with an open mind... Go in with an open mind... Go in with an open mind... I think I can... I think I can... I think I can... I think I can...

Why couldnt the director have a part (everyone else he knows got one),where HE's the dood who gets kneecapped?

ya im not worried...it should be good. i love b-d but a lot of their reviews i disagree with

Haddon......go in with an open mind

Repost:.....Variety magazine trashed it and a brand new review over at AICN really trashes it. In my book that makes it 3-3 with 2 of the reviews coming from blatantly biased Cummings devotees, based on past experience. All I can say is that I'm absolutely giddy that B-D was honest enough to slam it when it came down to the honest deadline....:), :), :)

B-D's first reviewer clearly missed a lot of the actual points made in the film, and was definitely biased against the movie going in. If anyone wants to discuss where this reviewer is off the mark, let me know. I won't go into details for those who haven't seen the movie yet. However, that review shows little objectivity and clearly demonstrates that the critic in question was missing things and making some rather odd leaps in his grasp of what was happening on-screen.

i saw it monday ...i think it was awesome!!!!!

The guy is right though fellas, this movie is absolute garbage. IGN, gives it a 0/5 RottenTomatoes.com has it's tomatometer at a pitiful 13% with only 1 good review. So far the consensus is that it's a terrible movie. I know you guys will be seeing the movie, but you also have to consider the signs here.

It keeps piling on:.....FromTheBalcony...Grade: F. Long Island Press...Grade: 1.5 of 4. ApolloMovieGuide...Grade: 64 of 100 (that's a D for any of you youngsers still interested in holding onto some last fleeting remanent of hope that your voice was actually correct to support our beloved Gen. Cummings. FTR, to be fair, this guy hated the 1978 version, so you can toss his view curbside if so inclined).....ShockTillYouDrop.com... Grade: 6 of 10 (another D).....OneGuy'sOpinion.com...Grade: F. Horror.com...Grade: Unsure, but she seemed very supportive, so we'll call it a 3 of 4 for fairness sake. ReelViews (and yes, this one will be on Yahoo, tomorrow morning)...Grade: 2 of 4 with a litany of criticism that pretty much backs up everything we've been saying from Day 1. It's a mess. My two favorite quotes from Mr. Berardinelli: "The 2007 version of the film, while vastly inferior to John Carpenter's 1978 original, lets us travel back thirty years through the corridors of memory." and "The acting is unimpressive across-the-board, sometimes bordering on embarrassing" Gee folks that puts it at 9-4 in favor of the haters, thus far. OOhhh, it's gonna be a long weekend here folks.....

Well one thing I can say is this Mr.BD has been wrong about so much shit me and my friends just chalked him up to not really knowing wtf he was talking about heres a guy who loved Texas Chainsaw Massacre ''The Beginning'' which I though was one of the worse films I have seen I mean god almight he even liked the film where the ppl are in africa getting chased around by a bunch of idiots so his opinion to me is garbage I have seen the film and while its not like Carpenters i thought Zombie did a good job of making it different lots of gore and crazy killing ''well he did say he didnt want to do the same movie'' as for scenes not connecting lol wtf i thought that part was great fuck mr bd hes a dumbfuck ban me cause im done with this site and to think im not even a halloween fight

OK ... Bloody-Disgusting.com ... SHAME ON YOU for posting this review as a REPRESENTATIVE REVIEW on your webpage ... how ridiculous ... Have you guys NOT seen the over 8,000 yes 8,000 USER RATINGS That are at 4 1/2 stars or better for the movie?! We, the fans, f*cking love it ... and how stupid to "support" a movie while putting up a representive review that is bashing it ... God, if I was Rob I would be little confused ... "OH, WE REALLY SUPPORT YOU ROB, BUT HERE'S AN REVIEW RATING YOUR MOVIE AS AN F!" WTF?! Just by looking at fan response you guys should know you need another representative review for Halloween! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Hello people ... how is this review valid when they gave Black Christmas (Remake) a 3/5 ... PLEASE?! THATS A BRILLIANT QUOTE IM TELLING YOU MR.BD IS A IDIOT LETS BACKLASH THIS SHIT THIS SITE HAS PISSED OFF PPL SO MANY TIMES WITH THERE WRONG SHIT AND STUPID REVIEWS THIS DID IT FOR ME IM DONE WITH THIS SITE AFTER TODAY I SAY ALL HALLOWEEN FANS BACKLASH THIS SHIT MR.BD OR MIGHT I SAY FAGGIT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HORROR GET OFF OF SEAN CLARKS DICK AND WATCH A MOVIE A LITTLE DEEPER FAG THE ORIGINAL CAN NEVER BE TOUCHED IT MAY BE THE GREATEST HORROR FILM OF ALL TIME TRY CHANGING THAT YOU SONOFABITCH!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the first review on this sight seems a little off from the movie I watched last night. Michael going mute at a picture of his sister...wtf! Michael's muteness is explained in the movie, it is his response to not being allowed out of the institute. He repeatedly asks to be freed and when he is told this will never happen he states that if this is the case then there is nothing more to talk about. Also Michael does not flip at the fact he finds out his mother is a stripper. He is taunted for this reason and beaten by the school bullies. He exacts his revenge on the bully for the abuse not the fact his mother strips. The bully is like the father figure he has in his life, just easier to lash out at. Also there is nothing that says Michael kills the animals he has photos of. His mother asks if he has done it but all they know is he has photos of dead animals. They could be road kill or just images he has photographed. The movie isn't perfect at all, however I found it very good. I liked the background on Michael as I thought it did add to his character (in this movie). Had Tyler Maine played Michael in the original I think it would of been a lot better as due to his size he really gives the impression that if he wants you dead, your dead. His violence and brutality are perfect for Michael and he does add a little something to the legend. Go and see it and make up your own mind but only hard core fans who cannot stomach the fact this has been made will hate it, most of us are going to enjoy it for what it is.

good to hear from you sauron. i'm very impressed that BD is sticking to their guns...i don't know what other reviews they've done in the past people had problems with, but this one is accurate. characters are weak, trashy, underdeveloped, and have little screen time. just when you think you have a hold of these characters, they become considerably schizophrenic. but that is a reflection of rob having no idea where he truly wanted to go with this trainwreck. does michael want to kill laurie or just reunite? is laurie foul-mouthed and manipulating like lynda or is she the virginal good girl? does she enjoy babysitting and care for tommy, or does she like tormenting and harassing him? the biggest problem i have is there is no suspense. no matter what dipshit director/writer come on board, no matter how they tinker and re-image etc., they could have at least made it scary, after all its a horror film.

''Jeff from the gayest place on earth Connecticut'' you must be one of those Freddy fans lol get off of BD's cock you little cockboy I thought much like the other kid on here that it was a good kick ass flick and BD's review is contradictory was it better than Resurrection or not?lol make up your mind BD is a fag and dont know shit so to him i say this you blow and so does this site its way off

fuck it people hated H20 and I loved it so it really is a matter of opinion!!!!!!!plus we knew coming in this movie was damned for god's sake they REMADE HALLOWENN ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER
