*** SPOILERS *** I've enjoyed many of the Halloween movies, especially the first one. I saw H20 back when it came out and thought it was a good way to end the series. H20 satisfied the following...Michael Myers met his doom. An ending which completely wraps up the saga with Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Myers.
Now comes this film which, literally, lies to the viewer. There is really no other way to put it. To say Michael Myers was not killed at the end of H20, that it was somehow another man who survived being pinned against a tree at high speed, is tantamount to the most foolish storyline I can imagine. Not so much because it is ridiculous but because it's a complete lie. The film was ruined for me right there. I couldn't believe the writers actually expected the audience to believe such a thing. A total insult the audience's intelligence.
The rest of the film just never worked for me. Busta Rhymes. Man, I don't know what to say. Worst actor of the year award? And the whole reality TV angle with all the Myer props in the house, which had nothing to do with Michael Myer's real childhood, was absurd as well. Just a bad, bad storyline.
I read an interview with John Carpenter a long time ago which stated he never wanted a single sequel made with Michael Myers. The first movie back in 1978 was it. A great open ending but the Michael Myers story was complete. Carpenter actually wanted other writers to write stories under the name "Halloween" each year with different characters and story lines each time. It is past time for that to happen.
Please.....No more Michael Myers. The man is gone...Dead in H20. Burn this installment of the Halloween series and start with a fresh story line.
