Join Michael and the Electroclan as a new threat arises even more terrible and calculating than the Elgen. I hope we close this chapter on Myers for good. Michael Vey is back with an electrifying eighth installment of the award-winning, 1 New York Times bestselling series by Richard Paul Evans. The lackluster story structure followed by the poor character development brings one of the worst installments of this storied franchise. Overall, Halloween Ends is another failed attempt to reignite what the 2018 film brought to the table. Again, I am at a loss for words with this entire movie. It’s one of the things that you look forward to the most when you watch Michael Myers movies is the creative ways he will kill people. However, yet another disappointing factor of Halloween Ends was the kills were lackluster. One of the only good things about Halloween Kills was that the kills were good. I don’t get what they were trying to do with this script, but it’s literally one of the worst scripts that have been brought out this year. How in the world did you blunder this? Not only that, the entire build of the battle in the movie was finished by a HORRENDOUS ENDING. I literally don’t get the writing of this movie.įurthermore, on the terrible writing, as I mentioned, in Halloween Kills, you build up this battle between Laurie and Michael, and MICHAEL MYERS IS IN THE MOVIE LESS THAN Laurie. She is in this movie for like ten minutes throughout the first hour and a half. You built up the entire last movie with very little Laurie in the film, with the talk of it being her seeking this revenge in Halloween Ends. I am so happy for Jamie Lee Curtis because she brought some good throughout this trilogy, but Laurie Strode deserves much better than what the writers gave her. I think Rohan Campbell rivals Anthony Michael Hall as one of the worst performances in this entire franchise. They build up this Corey character for more than three-quarters of this movie, and I couldn’t care less about him. The entire first hour of this movie is entirely unwatchable. Speaking of fails, the pacing of this movie is something that blows my mind. Throughout this franchise, we see these writers start to take risks, and it fails. While this gave me hope, I was quickly let down because they went down this path with this kid that felt so out of place and lackluster. Halloween Ends begins with a bang when we see a kid come over to babysit another kid, which ends up killing him in one of the wildest turns of events to open a film we have seen in recent times. I want to like Halloween Kills, but outside of the kills, every time I watch it, I hate it more and more. Then, writer/director David Gordon Green did the same thing with the two recent installments. First, I enjoyed the first Rob Zombie Halloween, but he followed it with an abysmal film. Please do yourself a favor, ignore the 'lifeless' and treat yourself to something GOOD.I’ve always felt that Michael Myers was one of the most complex characters to get right, and most of the time, you either get it right, or it’s terrible, and we’ve seen that now two times in a row. Maybe that's why the IMDb nay-sayers of this film have such a problem with it (you poor, sad people). Though this is a simple feel-good story (nothing complicated to follow, just out of the ordinary) with laughs, sniffles and a touch of heart, you can't get out of this without some introspection into your own life. Hurt, MacDowell, Pastorelli, Hoskins, Stapleton et al played the characters they were given to a 'T." And despite Travolta stealing the show, those characters are quintessential to the storyline you'll see. I found the supporting cast, well - well-cast. And if you don't 'get' that image, here's a quarter - go buy yourself a life. How can you not sniggle, laugh, guffaw and even cheer for a love-handled, smoking, suger-eating, beer-drinking, bull-charging, bar-dancing Archangel who sloops cereal and pie with his whole left-hand wrapped around a spoon-handle while outfitted in Vinnie Barbarino's middle-aged body with wings? It's one of the most ludicrous, classic, side-splitting images available on the silver screen.
