Halloweeeeeeeeen Options

[*karmakiller*]

Okay, so this movie has taken FOREVER to finally be done. The last news I heard, Rob Zombie wanted it to be more gorey. The originals don't have that much gore in them, but I think I might give this one a chance... I mean his other movies were entertaining, but Halloween seems like a serious movie for him to be doing. Any opinions on this? Anyone going to see it?

Exploring the psychology of Michael Myers may be very "Zombie" but it's also really tired and really boring. The entire mystery and terror behind Michael Myers disappears when you realize he's just some lame f**ked up kid from a lame f**ked up family. No suspense whatsoever. No character development really, let alone intelligent or meaningful character development. Photographed horrendously. Action sequences couldn't be more blurry, more MTV commercial, more extreme close up. The "abridged version of the original" sort of ending really blew my anus. The movie was pretty disappointing, but I can't say I hate it. Colorful dialogue in the first act, a few nice surprises for fans of the original, and a new perspective. An alright attempt at a remake/prequel - at the very least, a masterpiece in comparison to the more recent alternative installations to the series (i.e. H2O, Resurrection).
