What I Didn’t Like:
Jesus, too much to list. Just skip to
the next section.
Overall Impressions:
I’m reminded of what John Doe said at the end of Se7en: “What I’ve done is going to be puzzled over and studied and
followed forever.” Ok, that may be an
exaggeration but there is so much in this movie that doesn’t make a shred of
fucking sense. The tattoo on Michael’s
wrist, the man in black, the chain net trap Loomis somehow sets up, the prison
break, killing off the Rachel character from part 4 only to replace her with an unbearably annoying woman (Wendy
Foxworth, nee Kaplan (Guiding Light))
who has no connection to Jamie, for some reason Jamie is mute for the first
half of the film, she has a telepathic connection to Michael but only
sometimes, the Myers house is completely different than in the first movie,
it’s unclear if Jamie killed or just maimed her foster mother at the end of part 4, some hermit takes care of
Michael for a year in secret (yea, yea I know this was different and somewhat
explained in an earlier version), there are these two bumbling cops that are
supposed to be funny but they’re not and there’s this cartoon sound effects
music that accompanies them and all sorts of other shit.
This picture is such a gargantuan mess it’s mind
boggling. I mean Michael races around in
a sports car for a really long stretch which doesn’t fit the character. So many odd decisions.
That's Michael in a different mask that he wears for a while |
Man in black doin' his thang...whatever that is |
The kindly old man who nurses Michael back to health |
Niece and uncle have never been closer |
The filmmakers decided to abandon what was established in part 4 and make up some new crap for part 5, but they then also made the
conscious decision to lean on part 6
to explain the mysterious man in black and tattoo shit. That’s never a good strategy. You don’t want to explain your shitty movie
away by saying that it’ll all make sense in the next one. In my opinion the current one should make
sense.
But anyway, chalk this up as another bad Halloween sequel. Man, these ain’t gonna get any easier are
they?
