Wordiezett So much average

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

jadavix This sequel-to-a-remake is unfairly regarded as Rob Zombie's worst movie.This is all the more unfair when you consider that its prequel is easily worse.Remember Rob Zombie's first "Halloween" movie?That was the one where he turned Michael Myers into a mall-goth Marilyn Manson fan who got picked on at school and had a stressed single mother and...Wait. Am I describing an episode of "Degrassi: The Next Generation", or the back story of one of the three most iconic movie slashers in history?It could be either, couldn't it?Real scary, Rob. Real scary.Anyway.There was no way in hell this sequel could have been as much of a laughable insult to the original franchise as its forebear was, and it isn't.What it is, though, is kind of a mess. It tells at least three stories at once. Malcolm McDowell is chewing up the scenery as Dr Loomis, Michael Myers' dodgy psychologist who is now dubiously cashing in on the fame he got from surviving the first movie. Laurie Strode is suffering the psychiatric effects of her own closeness to the masked boogeyman, and is really going off the rails - and with Margot Kidder (RIP) as her therapist, who can blame her?And Michael? He's doing what he does best, and takes probably a bit too long to meet the other two characters for the reunion you know is going to go down."Halloween 2" isn't a bad movie. It's not as bad as the laughable prequel, for which Rob Zombie should hang his head in shame for having ever committed to celluloid, and it's also not as bad as the inexplicable "31". It's more just average and forgettable, hamstrung by a silly two hour run-time, and a bit of narrative confusion. I also can't remember a single kill, so whereas the movie may deliver on the violence, it's not particularly creative or interesting.

hongkong666 Rob Zombie's world is different. We all know that. After the 2007 remake of Halloween this is now the sequel to it. And once again Zombie follows his path relentlessly, despite all the criticism for the first attempt. The director took this classic and gave it a complete overhaul. Not only in story but also in the way the characters are presented. Remember the original? We all liked Dr. Loomis, right? Not so in this one. Loomis is one of the least likable characters in this movie and totally self centered. Michael Myers still stands tall and is so much more impressive than in the original. By this I mean just the appearance. If I would see the Michael from the original at night on a dark street, I'd just think "what a weirdo". If I came across this one, I better run as fast as I can! Also all other characters have been dragged through the dirt of what I would describe as a reality check. You easily can imagine meeting any of these characters in real life and they would just behave the way they do in this movie. It almost doesn't feel like acted and I really like this approach. Yet I still miss the intense atmosphere of the original movies. If you are just looking for an impressive slasher let loose, then this movie is for you. I am totally capable of enjoying both versions for different reasons.

IssaGuy Man Rob Zombie what got into your head? This is why the Halloween series in the 2000s suck! This is like a long rejected Rob Zombie music video. Bad story, bad script, bad plot, bad acting, and bad ending. This is worse than part 6, Resurrection, part 5, and the remake! My head hurts from writing this review. TERRIBLE MOVIE, SKIP IT! If you going to watch it, I recommend you skip the movie and watch the trailer instead.

lorcan-61881 Halloween might have pissed off a few Halloween fans but considering the great success at the box office, a sequel was then put into development for 2009 and then we got Halloween II..wow. Halloween II I never actually really watched until last week along with the remake..two pretty different films. I honestly really enjoyed the first Halloween film and then we got this. Halloween 2 when I think about it was really different to the first film, the film had things I liked..and things I did'nt like, lets just get the bads out of the way now. The dream sequences in this film were fucking awful and I hated them so much, I know in ways Halloween 2 actually tried to remake the original 1981 film which also featured one or two dream sequences but this film had way too many and I felt like I was watching some sort of fucked up Marilyn Manson music video, I also felt like after Laurie shot Myers in the face, literally, I don't really think this was necessary, it just felt like a money milking scheme to punish you. Goods; the acting, the acting in this film is really good from Scout Taylor Compton as Laurie and of course Danielle Harris as Annie from the Halloween remake and the original two Halloween's, 4 and 5. Overall, Halloween 2 is ok, but suffers from a bit too much stuff we did not need, at all.
