Halloween 2018
For me the most anticipated movie of the year.. I consider John Carpenter's original as a near perfect movie and it's one of my all time favorite movies.
And so I waited for this one, and waited and waited... Then I saw the early screening reviews and they were over the roof, so I desperately wanted to see it myself. And I wanted it to be good, I wanted a great sequel. And today I saw it and...
Halloween is a good follow up movie. But not great. Not Halloween great, or even Halloween II great. But a decent thriller with nice winks to the original and follow up movies. But I guess I was overhyped. I am not disappointed but ... well I am disappointed. But I guess I expected too much.
In the end it might end at the #3 spot in my list of favorite Halloween movies (Halloween and Halloween II are on top of that list, then a gap then the sequels than a larger gap, than an endless pit, then Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World at the bottom of that pit
with the T-rex eating the piles of sht that Rob Zombie crapped out)
Halloween fits in today's horror/thriller movies and the reinvented Michael Myers reminded me enough to the original Michael. But it didn't thrill me and I have to admit that at times I got a little bored.
Not gonna spoil a thing about the storyline, though.
