      this is a popular opinion that I honestly don't agree with because it makes things too confusing. in order to simplify things, I've scaled this entire franchise down to just 2 timelines.
      A) - H1, HII, H4, H5, H6-P.C., & H20
      &
      B) - H1, H2018, Kills, & Ends

    • @EpicJasonX9000
      @EpicJasonX9000 2 года назад

      @Ryan Looney thanks. I've put a lot of thought into putting this together. thankfully I can base this on what is depicted in the films and how it all connects rather than a personal opinion. coincidentally, H20 even started with Michael wearing the H6 mask, which they've used with the other masks throughout the entire production and can be seen periodically throughout the entire movie.

    • @EpicJasonX9000
      @EpicJasonX9000 2 года назад

      @Ryan Looney yeup. and if you think it about it, it still makes sense. Loomis had Laurie in witness protection which is why she was in California under a different name, and after Loomis went into shock after the events of H6 (Producer's Cut, which is the definitive version of the film for me), he was in Marion's care and she would of had his files in her possession in which Michael found. as for Jamie, it's highly likely that Laurie & Jimmie were her parents and he had full custody over her at some point likely due to relationship issues. and after her parents death (supposed death in Laurie's case), she was adopted months later. I've always interpret the Thorn Curse as not being Michael's origin of evil since Wynn acknowledged the existence of pure evil and wanted to control that evil, but more of a power boost in which he would of easily been influenced by the curse when he was too physically weak to move & locked up at Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium from 1978 to 1988. it all still fits perfectly as a single continuity.

    I quite enjoyed Kills. I’ll see where it lands in a few months but right now it’s #3 for me behind the original and Halloween 4. The movie worked for me and surprisingly so did the comedy bits in this one cause hey felt way more integrated and less distracting than in 2018. My favorite kill was definitely when Big John got his eyes popped out with Michael’s thumbs. I’ve always wanted to see that in a movie in that exact way and I loved it.

    The ending...oh my god, the ending...spoilers below for the ending in case anyone's watching a review and reading the comments on that review without having seen the film yet. I'm not judging you, I do the same thing sometimes.
    .
    Like I could forgive the film bungling the message it seemed to have about mob justice and mindless pursuit of revenge, but the ending...not only did they completely discard the entire point of the film by doing the whole "Mob violence is okay so long as you make sure you've got the right guy" thing, but hey, let's take this version of Michael Myers that has seemed pretty grounded in reality with characters that act in ways that make sense for their characters and throw all that out the window with a bunch of implied supernatural bullshit AND have characters just leave Michael's "body" lying in the middle of the street like they'd won when NOBODY GOES FOR THE HEAD. "Yeah, we know he's been shot, stabbed, run over, and fallen out of buildings before only to get up and walk it off immediately because we have personally ourselves seen him do it with our own eyes...so let's shoot, stab, and beat on him for a bit and just call it a day when he stops moving instead of actually making sure he's dead! OH NOES HE WASN'T DEAD AND NOW HE'S KILLING US ALL!"
    I don't mind when horror movie characters don't act in the most optimal way to survive the given situation. It's stressful and traumatic and people don't always make the most logical decisions that we, watching the movie at home free from a seven-foot-tall monster chasing us, can come up with for what they "should have done". But to have characters that have survived Michael Myers previously just sit around under those grey police blankets drinking coffee like they know the movie's over and not grabbing the gun off the first officer to show up and unloading the entire mag directly into his face. "EVIL DIES TONIGHT!" my ass! I know they needed to make a third movie, but at least come up with a better way to do it than this. But no, they had to pad the body count with a final montage and voiceover about "Fear Itself" (guess we know what the third film's theme is going to be until that gets completely ignored for the third act).
    I loved the 2018 Halloween movie. This sequel made me like that movie less, that's how badly they fucked up.

I've seen similar stories happen in towns I grew up in or near where I grew up where a spree killer turned into a near mythological figure in the area.
      Now that's for the residents treating him that way. For the NARRATIVE to treat him like that in the final scenes? That's just bad writing and foreshadows a pivot into "Michael is actually supernatural" which is where the Halloween franchise ALWAYS goes wrong.

    I did enjoy it when I watched it, but the more I sit on it, the more I’m bothered by the stupidity some of the characters displayed. It drags down the film for me. You could easily tweak some things to make certain scenes less dumb (ie. nurse lady runs off for no reason and then comes back to miss each shot and shoot herself in the face. You could tweak it so she runs off to return with backup or she shoots Michael to get his attention, then the other characters attempt to escape and/or fight back, only for their attempts to be futile, as an example.)
    If they tweaked some of the dialogue and wrote some of the characters a to bebit smarter, it could’ve been one of the best Halloween sequels. But I’m no screenwriter, what do I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Just came back from the cinema. Every scene with Michael is a blast, with gory, well-executed kills and a performance from Michael himself that really sells him as an unstoppable force hiding in the skin of an old man. Almost every other scene was plagued with terrible dialogue and actors that somehow managed to both over- and underact at the same time. The basic idea, the town being dragged into darkness and murderous vigilante justice as a result of the fear spread by Michael, making his presence somehow spread death even when he's not there, is good, but the execution, except for Michael himself, is subpar. Far from the worst in the series, but not really justifying this being a trilogy.
    Thanks for your fun Review Andy. Always a pleasure. 🙂

Because mobs generally come together over ignorance and that was clearly displayed, the "comedy bits" are far and few between and quickly forgotten when you're actually focusing on the rest of the movie,,, the flashbacks where so good, Tom Jones Jr did an impeccable job of playing loomis along with Colin mahan voicing him, not to mention the clarification that myers doesn't care about anyone, or anything and kills because he can, there's no attachment to Laurie and brings it back to the original story,,, instead of the crappy narrative they spun, especially Rob zombies God awful thing of a movie...

    3:27 - Entitled bigots that are offended by everything. I should be shocked but then again someone did defend that Cuties film on Netflix, so i shouldn't really be surprised.
    I was peeved when Laurie was sidelined, but i understood it as her role was more of the victim mentality and kept blaming herself for Michael Myers when she really shouldn't. At least that's what i got from Laurie's role in the film.
    I loved the familiar faces of the franchise. Would i have loved to see Tommy's oringal actor return? Yes, but i think i loved the old friends we got to revisit in this film. I honest felt Tommy and Karen leading the charge was a great change of scenery since trapping him didn't work out so well. I loved Tommy's attempts to make up for not helping Laurie in the past. Karen's role was really sweet.
    Fun Fact: This isn't Little John's first time being killed by a "Mike Myers" he died in Austin Powers 1 by Steam Roller.
    Overall, i really liked Halloween Kills. The acting was hokey at times. But, it was a great sequel to another great sequel. I can't wait to see what happens when Halloween Ends
    (Spoilers)
    We all know the real reason Karen died...It was because she wore a Christmas Sweater and we all know what happens when people try to celebrate Christmas before Halloween.

In addition, I like that Myers has evolved more and becomes this unstoppable force of evil that has badly affected one small town. However, I wish they didn't have to dumb down some of the characters just giving him easy kills. I wish the kills were a bit more creative.

    I feel like the best thing the current Halloween franchise has going for it are the nods to a better movie. I did like the concept of the whole town rallying to take out Michael (it reminds of how "The Nightstalker" Richard Ramirez was caught irl). But since he ends up killing EVERYONE without missing a beat, it carries very little weight. Ultimately, it was worth watching for the interesting kills and throwbacks to Carpenter's films, but that's about it.
