Apr 7, 2023 @Michael Myers So I watched Halloween Kills. At first, I thought I was gonna end up liking it more than Halloween (2018). Then I got farther into the movie and realized that’s simply not gonna be the case. While I loved the increase in brutal kills, that’s about the only thing I like more than Halloween (2018). I mean, this movie just got too ridiculous… and the whole movie can be summed up in one sentence: Spoiler A bunch of unorganized dumb f---s band together to k--- Michael Myers and fail epicly. Now I’m sure this movie might’ve been trying to make a point about the real world or something like that. It’s still stupid though. The stupidest thing of all though was Spoiler the ending. They killed Karen as an attempt at a twist for shock value. Oh, I was shocked alright… just not in the way they wanted me to be. I was shocked at how stupid it was. I wasn’t even able to feel any sort of emotion that they wanted me to feel from that. I’m not sad that Karen is dead. Now, sure, this might seem kinda harsh. But I still enjoyed the movie. At times the ridiculousness frustrated me, but for the most part, I was able to eventually just laugh at it. I guess what I can give them credit for is making a very different movie than the one before it. I’m also still intrigued enough to watch Halloween Ends within the next few days so they also have that going for them.
Apr 7, 2023 Pretty much sums it all it. Its a fun movie if you don't think about it too much. I enjoy it. But its a collection of very very dumb people lmao. Which is always the case in horror movies, but how a crowd doesn't just destroy his body to make sure is gone, is stupid. Also it kinda ruins the fact that the 2018 movie made Michael 'human' again. Here he clearly isn't since nobody can survive that s--- lol. Glad the most annoying person got killed though (not Karen). U need to see the OG to know some of the characters from Kills tbh its nostalgia. But I stand by the fact that its still more enjoyable than a lot of other slashers even if I'm obviously biased. Have fun with Ends... be prepared for a huge confusion, and a lot of anger lol. It needs to sink in and watched again to be fully appreciated! Just a friendly warning!
Apr 7, 2023 Yeah that s--- be confusing me I agree. Some slashers get really mediocre or bad like some of the Friday the 13th movies. This one was still enjoyable despite its issues. Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind!
Apr 7, 2023 Also, @Ripper Roo a lot of the halloween sequels are very mediocre , but I'm a huge fan. So obviously I'm a little biased w all of them lol
Apr 7, 2023 Watched the new Halloween trilogy again and Ends is just awful. Like comically bad and ruins the two pretty solid movies before it with the direction they went for this movie. Beginning to end, it’s all over the shop and takes a s--- on the lore and adds nothing to it. Been a fair few bad movies in this franchise but I say this one is the worst. Need to watch some of them again to confirm my opinion but Ends is no fun at all, remember enjoying the dumbness in all of the other releases.
Apr 9, 2023 @Michael Myers I watched Halloween Ends. Crazy way to start my Easter lmao. I never actually read any in-depth reviews of this movie, I just saw that a lot of people didn’t like it. Honestly, I don’t understand why people didn’t like it. Maybe that comes from my lack of knowledge of the series as a whole. I actually liked this better than Halloween Kills and maybe even Halloween (2018). I feel like that’s a crazy opinion probably but that’s the way I feel right now. I do have some complaints though. For one, the love story was super f---ing cringe. I also was able to predict what was going to happen in the movie very quickly, like almost right from the beginning. Despite that, the story was still interesting enough that me predicting most of what would happen didn’t really ruin it for me. I’m really surprised though. With the way everyone talked, I thought I would hate this movie. I’m gonna watch the older movies soon and I’ll summarize my thoughts of those in a few posts instead of dedicating a post to each film. I just did this specifically for this trilogy.
Apr 9, 2023 Glad u appreciated like I did brother even as a die hard stan I liked it. Gonna respond later, at my easter brunch rn!
Apr 9, 2023 Have fun at Easter brunch! I’ve been reading some posts in this thread from when the movie first came out and now I’m understanding why you guys didn’t like this one as much
Apr 9, 2023 Didn't like it 5 mins after the movie 1st time, loved it after a while and 2nd watch gonna tell u why!
