Halloween Ends

Yeah this movie proves why this should NEVER have been a trilogy in the first place... Kills was a letdown and this was the final nail in the coffin!

This movie introduces an entirely new storyline and character, which is not the way you close off a trilogy! The concept around this is interesting enough, but as a conclusion to a long running franchise, it could not have been more bafflingly misplaced!

Micheal Myers is reduced to a cameo and the final confrontation comes out of nowhere, with NO build up or satisfaction! The confrontation in 2018 was better than this! It is clear that there were not material enough for a trilogy so why? Oh Yeah.... money.

First, this trylogy should have been only one movie with a better conclusion. The third movie is even worse than the second. And the second was weak.

Second, I don't understand how you can do a great Halloween (2018) comeback, but then two of the worst Hallowen movies from all time.

Last, Halloween Ends (2022) is poor as a movie. Sometimes embarrassing. The script is bad, pretty bad. Acting is horrendous, soap opera level. And the conclusion is a joke. A bad one.

To add, Michael deserved better than this. Hopefully in the future someone can fix it, and give it the conclusion that deserves as an horror icon.

I don't know what this movie was but I am still waiting on the real final movie in the trilogy to be released. This was just a bad joke right? I kept watching hoping that it would get better and it just didn't I had heard the final act was good and I was lied to. Then I am not sure what message they were trying to send with their wacky symbolism they do but it went over my head. When it was over me and the girlfriend just felt crushed that it was such a bad movie. 2018 was great and kills was ok but this makes me angry and sad at how disappointing it was.

This wasn't a Halloween movie. It takes place on halloween and Michael and Laurie cameo in it but that's it. Every time I look at the rating I am giving it I lower the score because I feel I am being too generous.

I'm not sure who thought this script was a good idea because it's not. If there is a film in film school called "How to ruin a franchise" this would be it. As a lifelong die hard Halloween fan I have a love for the good ones and the bad but this along with Halloween Kills is just a no. So much potential was wasted and im not even going to mention the plot or any details. Halloween Ends is an insult to the characters, the ideas and the franchise. It borders offensive. While Halloween Kills has redeeming values Ends just screws it all to high heaven. The final insult is that Michael Myers has been reduced to a couple cameos in his own film. Watch it on a streaming service or somewhere else for free and give it a try just for nostalgias sake but you have been warned. I gave it a 5 because the Halloween franchise has a soft spot with me and I can't bear to give it a lower score.

Without spoilers, this movie is one of the most mis-marketed movies I've ever seen. If you watch the trailers, thinking you know what movie you're about to see, think again. Also, I thought this movie brought nothing new to the table as far as Halloween lore, and insightful explanations of pretty much any questions we may have had going in, and ultimately felt like a giant let down. Positives? Jamie Lee Curtis did a great job, I enjoyed the score, certain elements of the ending which I obviously can't get into here, and a few moments of good humor. Not the worst Halloween movie..

5/10 for me.
