I really didn't like michael in this movie. He felt like an old fragile man. So the ending wasn't even earned for luarie. She didn't kill the michael from the 1978 or 2018 and kills. I did like Corey killing and when they were killing together I was getting into it I wish the ending was a little better it felt rushed and to fast
@@Mike-cg8di a better ending would've been that he does come back to his senses in the end and kills and wins. That would've given a much sicker horror ending to it.
They really put an effort into 2018, but Kills and Ends were either rushed based on the success of 2018, or they were unsure about which direction to take it - balancing between fan service and doing something different.
They were definitely rushed. 2018 was first being kicked around as ‘Returns’ over 5 years before it was released. Dozens of different scripts were written and DGG and McBride became attached in 2015, I believe. They spent years making it whereas ‘Kills’ was written and filmed in a matter of months and was in post within 18 months after 2018’s release. Spring of 2020-ish. It was just delayed… and unfortunately, not reshot.
Nailed it. They shot themselves in the foot setting release dates for both films in 2019 when they didn’t even have a set story for said movies. They focused too much on how the characters dealt with trauma while trying to have a traditional slasher in the mix and it just felt so sloppy. Don’t get me wrong I had fun with these movies and I loved them for what they are but Jesus the story they tried to tell didn’t just stumble along. It tripped, fell, rolled down a hill and stuck 0 landing. The kills in this trilogy were fantastic, the score, Michael in kills was the absolute best we’ve ever seen, the way he was filmed, the mask. Everything. They nailed so many details but made pacing and story decisions that made no sense in kills and ends
@@jasoninthehood9726 kills story sucked, but undoubtedly the most well shot and well directed Michael we’ve ever gotten (outside the original) Every moment he was on screen he looked like amazing.
That final scene after watching it a 3rd time...with frank and Laurie if you pay attention you just see Laurie gazing off into nothing as frank is feeling the anxiety trickle everywhere with that feeling he knows
4 writers and a director who has never done a horror film, comedy folks, but be glad we got better sequels unlike part 5, part 6, Resurrection, poor acting and Dawson Creek H20 and Rob Zombie's white trash Halloween development.
I'm also hoping for a director cut of this movie, to see if Michael is seen more? Answering a few questions on why he stays in the sewer and comes out to see Laurie and disappears again. Maybe other kills Michael has and the bag man sees. Why he wants the mask.
@@Austin-cr5zo oh I agree fully. The actor who played Corey was perfect. Even just a couple more brief scenes of the 2 of them interacting down in their lair would've made it better.
Corey was cool but they focused too much on him in the end. They cut the climactic battle short. The best battle between Laurie and Michael was in Halloween (2018) but weren’t we building up to a bigger battle for Ends? At least that’s what they were advertising. Still enjoyed what we got though. 🎃
The Corey storyline would've worked if they actually kept Michael in the movie and still had HIM doing most of the kills. End fight should've been longer/more intense as well. If you're going to kill off Myers like that, make sure he goes out with a bang by ensuring his brutality/presence at the very least is maintained. That character was hugely disrespected. There were more than enough resources to balance the "uniqueness" they were going for and keeping things close to its roots in that final film.
I wonder if they considered having Michael grab Laurie as he's being pulled into the grinder as either one last jump scare or him actually pulling her in with him and they both die?
This crossed my mind as well. I think I would’ve preferred it if Michael was put into the grinder while still alive, and try to pull Laurie in with him. But don’t get me wrong I still enjoyed the scene where he was trapped on the table when Laurie slit his throat and wrist.
@@basiczachh3978 He was impaled through the sternum, stabbed through his lungs via his armpit, had his right hand also completely cut in half, his left hand pinned, had his throat slashed and *then* his right arm split all the way down. On top of being drastically weakened at 65 years old… If that didn’t kill him, you might as well just say “lol gotta make another movie so still alive.”
@@Jimquivious And maybe more than anything, the cumulative damage he sustained over 7 decades with no, real medical attention in the last four when the majority of it happened. I never got the impression that he was supposed to be “magical” in this, just superhuman - whatever that means. He lived in a sewer, eating rats and maybe people. He’d seen better days.
Halloween kills should have been Halloween Ends with Michael's fate. Corey Cunningham's character should have been in all 3 films. He should have been Tommy Jarvis, the new Michael Myers.
I admire the choices the team made with this film. I understand the discourse from the majority of the Halloween fanbase, but I think this was a really unique take for a franchise that's been very wash, rinse, repeat over the past 45 years. Thankfully for the fans who hated this, there are still 12 other Halloween movies that they can revisit whenever they want. Plus the inevitable reboot in 5-10 years.
But David Gordon Green ROBBED HISTORY of an appropriate ending to the saga of Michael and the original Laurie Strode. It's not about fans liking this movie or not. The final battle drops from out of nowhere with ABSOLUTELY ZERO build up between them in the entire movie. It's not about the 12 other movies. There will never be another movie with the original Laurie Strode, and DGG absolutely F'D UP the last one, period.
@@jamesknightley4201 Then rewatch H20 or H18 if you want the big Laura vs mike angle. Or even the og Halloween 2 & Resserction despite how little she does. Let us have one film alittle different than the rest, you have options
@@jamesknightley4201 WHY are YOU coversating THIS way? Its OBNOXIOUS in ANY context. But Ends was better than 90% of the franchise, we've seen the last of Strode half a dozen times now as I pointed out. This trilogy will be a fan favorite after the next reboot, Ends will be the new Season of the Witch for abit then a cult classic. It's the natural cycle of dense Halloween fans
@@NerdySabbath Even if this movie had absolutely nothing to do with Halloween (which it already barely does) and you just swapped out all of these legacy characters for total strangers, it would make absolutely no difference to the Halloween franchise outside of the last 15 minutes. It's wild that people go out of their way to defend garbage by trying to call other people dense when, really, it's okay to like shitty movies. Just own it.
@@chennao Just laughable and cringe. They built him up as an unkillable supernatural tank but Screech can just knock him over and lay him out on his back? Nah. Also grandma Strode has the power to do the same? *eyeroll
His written Story failed our Michael Myers Fans. He didn't allow Michael Myers to come out enough bringing out a New character replacing Michael Myers a very disappointment This director knows that we all been fans of Michael Myers He didn't care he wanted to do own thing The Worse Decision his Ever Made . Halloween Started with Michael Myers Made it a Big Hit he he ruined it for us . its not Worth Spending time money on this Film iam glad I didn't waste my money I saw it on Peacock . Corey did a great job if it was a different horror film I would been happy but in Halloween ends post to been about Michael Myers expeclly being the End of Michael Myers Halloween Ends 🤬🤬
@@jeffcunningham0389 You and I both. And the film hit me especially hard without getting into detail, being a father and having an accident occur that I knew nothing I could've done would've prevented it, yet everyone tried to throw a sinister light on me, even people I trusted. Fortunately no one died when this happened to me but I understand and can relate to the experience Corey went through, where you get treated like The Boogeyman.
This film was so frustrating. No Michael for 38 minutes and when we do get him he isn't himself and kinda a wimp. This Halloween film does not feel like kills or 2018. This film feels like a whole new creative team. So bummed they decided on this story to end Laurie and Michaels story arc. Damnit
Why even mention Laurie? You obviously aren’t concerned with her story arc. Kills is a whole film of MM killing and you want the same? So if he came out swing 5 mins in how would that end? Sounds like H20
Four writers. That explains a lot. The film was sold as a sendoff for two iconic characters, but was centered around a new one who takes their shine. Kind of frustrating to say the least
Same. Ends redeemed Kills and '18 for me. I don't care what anybody else thinks because they are wrong. And they'll probably change their minds in 5-10 years.
@@JohnPritzlaff part of the reason why I wanna get into film is because it's my dream to work on a Halloween film. So I'm hoping they'll either reboot or continue the franchise in the next years.
You are not alone it was good better then some of the others but everyone in this day and age has to moan about something especially someone else's hard work
@@PerriNemiroff Perri you are a queen and the next Barbara Walters. You’re amazing and I love your intelligence, ability to read the room quicker than most, and your kindness. Please don’t stop the sky is the limit for you
Halloween 2018 was good besides the evil doctor. Should have just ended right there but the studios said here’s money now make two more for no reason. Hopefully he doesn’t goof the exorcist.
He seems to be admitting that they just made it up as they went along and made it to please each other, not the audience. There seems to be no interest in telling a good story, just make things up as you go along. What a freak'in mess! They don't have the ability to do The Exorcist - they will ruin it too. There is no way this team can see why the Exorcist was such a well made movie. He admits to going to Ellen Burnstyn for help writing it - they are making this one up as they do along too.
I am not a fan of complete spontaneity in writing either, but these movies always appeared to me like they had the inverse issue: forcing the story to go where the bullet-points take them. Vince Gilligan and his staff wrote ‘Breaking Bad’ by shooting from the hip; it’s not a bad thing. The key difference is that Gilligan is a great writer and Gordon Green is better served as a director. I’m not sure what he said that made you think that it was all “made up as they went,” but his first input was about how nothing radically changed. Having multiple writers kick around alternatives is a normal function of scriptwriting. They envisioned a messy, one-day sequence and changed it to the same, messy, four-year sequence.
The vision of art y'all have doesn't make any sense. Art is about creation, an artist's perspective and point of view. It is very very personnal. Trying to make a story only to please an audience sucks ! Because it is impossible to please everyone !
I wanted this hack to explain himself, and I got my answer. Incompetence at it's finest. 4 writers and this is the best they could come up with? They're either all talentless hacks, or they intentionally wanted to piss off the fan base. With Ends being the last of their trilogy there wouldn't have been a financial incentive to appease fans as they'd already gotten our money, and would be moving onto to other projects. Considering most of the players involved I'm leaning more towards the latter, and if that's the case then f them! This isn’t how you repay a fan base who's been loyal to this franchise for over 40 years.
He says 'vision' but then he says it had 4 writers workshopping. That's exactly what it felt like by the end, a film made by committee...too many cooks in the kitchen
@@Mason-sg9zf Michael Myers movies were also about Michael Myers....This movie has no intelligence whatsoever. I'm glad you enjoyed Christine mixed with Jason goes to Hell...
@@Rabbitwannagrabit deftl not,look especially of the Original 1978,you dont understand it,Michael is only the person the real Evil is the shape the shadow the dark the pure Evil not Michael 😉🍂
@@Endo-uu8mo No..Loomis is specifically talking about Michael..Michael is one of a kind..He wasn't some kid who was picked on so evil found him, HE IS THE EVIL..That was the point of Halloween 78 and Michael's story..
And now he’s moving to the Exorcist to do the exact same thing. This time he should focus on the dude who wipes the pews at church and put him as a main character for 2 hours so the Exorcist can show up for 21 seconds.
Am I the only one who enjoyed this movie? It wasn’t the perfect send-off for Michael/Laurie, but I came into it wondering how they could execute a film with a ~65 year old, injured Michael. I think it would be difficult to portray a 2018-style Myers with everything that happened in the previous two films. That being said, absolutely loved the Corey storyline, but felt like it could have been in Kills instead of the overindulgence in the town mob.
But it was supposed to be the I perfect send off for Michael/Laurie. That was the whole point of this trilogy. To end the story definitively. It wasn't a bad movie per se, it's just not an appropriate way to close out a franchise, from a storytelling perspective. Finales are for tying up loose ends, not creating new stories. That's just how I see it.
They clearly had no plan for this trilogy and didn’t have full confidence in where they were taking the characters of Michael and Laurie. Introducing a new lead character in the final entry of a trilogy is such a dumb idea
@@jamesknightley4201 its not a “buddy” movie though and he isnt really his accomplice , they werent teaming up , michael followed corey once just so he could kill someone
Wow this is embarrassing. He dodges EVERY question with a nothing cryptic answer. He did not care about this movie at all. Kick him off The Exorcist before he ruins that too.
Stay mad, as someone who disliked ends…it was still 100x better than red right hand This movie had the junkyard scene and dj kill which were the only good 2 things in the movie but also he isn’t dodging the questions either
The next film should present as a straightforward remake of Season of the Witch at first. But in a second/third act or final scene/after credits scene twist it turns out to be a sequel to 3 and 6, while serving as a true Halloween 9 simultaneously, due to Silver Shamrock Corp. and Cult of Thorn multiversal travel experiments-since both groups are part of a larger, even more mysterious entity whose evil cannot be contained to one world. Then the sequel incorporates all timelines-RZH2 and the new trilogy as well. I know how to do it without it being corny, cheesy, or too heavy on the mythology. Just like with this trilogy, the mythos and mystery will mostly be in the background, merely there to set the stage for great character development and exploration of deeper themes, ultimately evolving into a true anthology franchise with the branding of our favorite holiday... Eventually this sets the stage for a Horror Cinematic Universe.
Personally, I enjoyed the movie, the gore was fantastic and a few scenes still stuck with me, I see the criticisms, but I can also appreciate how they tried new things, there are plenty of things I’d change, but there’s also plenty of things I’d keep. I found Michael having an apprentice of sorts rather interesting. The movie isn’t perfect, but what movie is ever 100% perfect? I think it wrapped this trilogy up in a pretty ok bow.
Insane that the Cult of Thorn is no longer the worst of this franchise. They had no idea what they were doing to end it is the sad part...It became an ugly rehash of Christine
A great way to end the trilogy, while paying tribute to the original trilogy. 2018 was their tribute to Carpenter’s Halloween, Kills was their tribute to Halloween 2 and the slasher genre as a whole, then Ends is their tribute to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. A completely different and original story not really revolving around Michael, but still tying Michael into the story and ending the trilogy.
DDG needed to stay away from Halloween . James Jude Courtney the best shape sidelined like this for what we got with Ends . Not a fan at all . Glad I'm not a big Exorsist fan .
I loved Ends but I never agreed with the consensus that JJC knocked Michael out of the park. Though he was definitely still better than the vast majority of Michael actors. But too much bending at the knees and back. Too angular and large, reminiscent of a slightly nerfed RZ Michael. Way too heavy in the feet.
@@JohnPritzlaff No he's that tall. Tyler Maine is huge! I think it was a portrayal of a man who is just old and just a human? I guess? Still he needed to be in more of it and not job out to a new character. I did like the movie but I don't like it as a Halloween movie! I do love the balls he had to do this! Overall as a whole 3/5! The last 30 mins is a 4/5 the first part 2.5 that's how got my score!
@@RaidenRoach45 idk the original Michael was 6'2" with tight, somewhat compact proportions. Don't get me wrong, he kinda nailed the movement at times. Perhaps the best portrayal of the sequels, but still off a lot. The original Michael was lithe-catlike. This guy kinda stomped around too much and he walked with bent knees and back too much. Also arguably moved too fast, though there is the kill of Linda's boyfriend in '78 where he bursts out of the pantry at lightning speed.
@@RaidenRoach45 You spelled Manes's name wrong tard! The movie needed more me! Like this guy cares about your opinions! GTFO! This movie is the best outta the 3 sorry but me and that dudes right about this! ..You got your name naturally huh cause your definitely a Gomer which means your dumb AF!
JJC is usually listed at 6'3" or sometimes 6'2 1/2". But it's the shape of the shape, his proportions, and the way he moves his weight. Most importantly it's how he is filmed. The original Michael felt somehow both taller and shorter than JJC because of how he was filmed. And JJC has bigger, much heavier feet.
Definitely the weakest in the trilogy but I actually enjoyed seeing Michael with a friend 😂... I can definitely appreciate the movie being different and exploring the fact that Evil itself is contagious and addictive. I'm glad Laurie finally got the ending she deserved but damn Michael did not get enough time to shine. So many good ideas just poorly executed
Halloween 2018 very good movie. Exception is Dr. Sartain. He was horrible. The line from Laurie "OH the new Loomis" very very cringe why did you need to say that at all? Fans aren't stupid. Halloween Kills mostly good. The flashbacks are cool but Hawkins wanst in the original movie. Bringing back Lindsey, Marion, Tommy Doyle, Sheriff Brackett awesome. Micheal Anthony Hall ....ahhh. well he's a great actor but he didn't fit the Tommy Doyle character at all. Bad casting. "Evil dies tonight" used way way too much in the movie. Got tired of hearing it. The other mental patient side story, well that was out of place as well. Should've left that out. Halloween ends - Terrible. Just like every other Halloween movie sequel you fucked up big time!! Trash writers
instead of trying to subvert audience expectations all the time maybe this guy and the rest of Hollywood should try just making stories that are good. Now that would subvert our expectations at this point
I absolutely loved this trilogy. It was the most cohesive timeline and the theme carried onto three films. Carpenter’s vision for Halloween was never to have Michael be the forefront. He was a “shape” of evil. His evil then infected Dr Sartian in 2018, Haddonfield in Kills, and Corey in Ends. Do I believe the marketing team focused too much on Michael and Laurie, absolutely. This timeline was never about Michael and Laurie which was evident in 2018 when they decided to wipe that sibling storyline. Hate or not… David wrote this trilogy because of his love for this franchise.
I hope someone meshes all 3 films together and cuts out the Corey storyline maybe it would be a better watch. I knew from the very beginning DGG was going to butcher Ends.
In my opinion the movie was okay if it wasn't called Halloween. Michael was in it for maybe a total of 10 minutes. Plus the scenes that he was in they made him look weak and not all there. Then they killed him with not much of a fight. I truly feel Michael Myers was disrespected in Halloween Ends.
ghe Myers Fan kiddys who thinks 1978 Is only a Fim about a psychedelic Killer man are hating it but they doesnt understand the real story Laurie is the most important part
@@a.nonymous5844 Brother, Halloween 6 had Micheal Myers have an incest baby with his niece, while mind controlled by a cult no less. Then we’ve got Resurrection and of course the Rob Zombie movies. If Halloween can survive that it can survive the weird mess that is Ends. Franchises don’t “die” anymore, stop being overdramatic.
All three films build a fascinating and solid take on Michael myers from a true auteur. I hope another idiosyncratic filmmaker takes the reins next and shows us Michael myers through their eyes
Maybe 6 minutes of screen time for Michael Myers was a "fascinating and SOLID take"??? Michael was sidelined in this movie worse than Laurie was in Kills. I think I watched a different movie.
He doesn’t need to do shit after this movie They need to stop bringing back original characters is the original writers are not coming back for it look what they did was scream
It's funny watching Halloween videos moustha akkad said it himself the more sparingly you show Michael the more effective he is lol. They really took this line literally lol. I've been thinking for years like this film says evil changes shape it passes to others unlock the darkness in others spreads lol. They explore this in franchise before so this ain't necessarily new but they call more attention to it I think lol. The evil has been passed on before. That's probably what happened to Michael lol. He was maybe normal. Lots of videos I've seen even the Halloween novelization they make it sound like he was a normal kid up to a certain point then the darkness or curse started popping up lol. Evil has always been passed on all the way back to the original novelization lol. I can connect Halloween and Michael to anything. The story if evil it has always changed shape. It can be a kid. A man. A woman. A dog. A doll. A demon. So many horror movies all the same evil. Corey can be nature vs nuture. His life kind of parallels Michael life in rob zombies Halloween with his home life and social life is always chaotic lol. MaKing them vulnerable for the evil to take over. These feelings of rage and anger and jealousy and lots like that is like the path to the darkside. Once you give in to those feelings. Or give in to that voice in your head or devil on your shoulder then you're consumed by evil either instantly or eneverabley lol.
I can't stop thinking about this film, the audacity. Loved it. DGG expanded the themes of the original and made Michael bigger, much bigger than he ever was. I was engrossed the entire time and giddy that he delivered a story that made Michael's evil palpable. It swallows the town and then Corey. Who needs seeing Michael in his makeshift bed or eating a stray dog. KILLS was non-stop slasher mayhem but with a boring, boilerplate script that TELLS without SHOWING. "Michael is transcending," Laurie says for no reason whatsoever. But in ENDS we SEE him transcend from being a man in a sewer to an infecting evil. I know this film will only grow in stature over time.
Corey gets a five minute payoff and then gets killed before the climax of the movie starts and never gets referred to again. The audacity to manufacture an illusion of risk because you have a 25 minute Laurie Strode short film in you but need to make it feature length so you decide to directly rip off Christine down to the entire character arc and last name.
@@CarloisBuriedAlive Well I for one would've LOVED if, well, Michael wasn't literally there; that he truly was one with Corey now. Could you IMAGINE the diaper filling? It's already out of hand. Plus I find it amazing how angry everyone is at a director who delivered not one but TWO films they all seem to dig. Sorry but this was a ballsy move and the anger that it's brought about proves it. Might not've been your jam and I respect that. They had an entirely different third film lined up, to take place that same night. I'm so grateful they did something different and I think in time, once people get over the disappointment of not being given what was expected, it'll find its audience.
@@chrisarrison1175 I wasn’t a fan of Kills, nor am I a representation of the entire fanbase. Your response is more of a reaction to the fanbase than an actual response to me and what I’ve said. Congrats on liking the movie - I enjoyed elements of it but my main issues are not even less Michael - it’s everything else and then them ultimately not committing to any of it. I can’t like a movie just because it’s different - which, ironically enough, many fans of the movie are saying fans don’t like it because it’s different and yet their main source of pleasure is because it’s “different.” Lol
@@CarloisBuriedAlive It's definitely an homage to Christine, no question. I see nothing wrong with that. And yeah, maybe there was nothing but a short film to be filmed regarding their showdown. Imagine a full-length movie of more-of-the-same. I don;' just like it because it's different. I found it compelling, well-acted, surprising. I find the idea of a weakened Michael - who's getting his mojo back through killing - scarier than Terminator Michael. I think the scarecrow mask rules and that this film had the best new Carpenter score. I get why folks don't like it. . . . and I don't.
@@chrisarrison1175 an homage? He has the same exact character arc, shares the same last name, works in a junk yard, has a similar family dynamic, and his appearance changes over the course of the movie. When do we leave homage territory and enter rip-off territory? And again with the “I get why fans don’t like it” - no you don’t. I’ve heard many different criticisms of the movie, from the writing, to its place in the trilogy, to how little connective tissues we have between Kills and Ends, to how the characters don’t seem fully fleshed out, to Lindsey and Hawkins being useless, to how anticlimactic it all feels…it’s not just about Michael’s absence. This is getting presumptuous and it’s all because there’s an inherent disrespect for the sub genre and its fans. It’s all different versions of saying “you guys are too dumb to get it.”
gotta say i really enjoyed ends!! for me, it expanded michael’s lore, i’d say my biggest complaint is that michael dies from a throat slash, i wish they had him struggling a bit while they were taking him to the junk yard
So basically you didn't know how to end the Halloween saga. So throw shit at the wall and something will stick. Plus what to do next, we all know what they are going to do......REBOOT!
Isn’t it clear that Michael passes the evil on to Corey? When Michael looks in his eyes he sees what Corey has been through and passes the evil on to him as a gift. But really Michael needs Corey to keep bringing him people to kill because Michael was clearly getting stronger as he killed.
@@Jimquivious Or did they? He didn't die from stabbing himself in the neck because he grabs Michael's leg later. And Michael snaps his neck.... but does that mean he's dead this time? If Michael passed his powers on to Corey, can he endure what Michael has endured over all these movies? I honestly hate the whole thing and hope they DO NOT create a new boogeyman for the Halloween franchise (that will be the end of my fandom forever) ....but I don't think anyone can say for sure that Corey is dead at the end of that movie.
David Gordon Green, You ruined an iconic movie franchise. Halloween and Michael Myers belongs to the fans. Without us you got nothing. Can't believe how you disrespected the movie, the 40+ years history, fans. Unbelievable!!!

We deserved to see more of Michael…him in the sewer, what he’d been up to the last 4 YEARS/right after Kills, etc. we deserved to not have more questions than answers at the end of this trilogy yet here we are. Kills shouldve ended with Michael grabbing Karen by the throat, attempting to choke the life out of her but not being able to due to massive injuries sustained so he tosses her out his sister’s window. Her vocal chords are crushed from his grab, eye socket, nose and face are fractured from the fall, we don’t know of she lives or dies u til Ends. We then discover she did in Fact live but cannot speak and can only communicate through sign language/written word. We still get this version of Laurie but j only when everyone is watching…otherwise she is still Vindictive and angry as ever about what Michael did to her daughter. She has a whole cork board dedicated to possible whereabouts of Myers over the last 4 years and has even gone out searching for him with very little-no leads, only rumors of a “disappearer of men”. Movie ends with Michael, Laurie, Karen, Alyson in a standoff. Hawkins lends a hand as well, laurie and Mike both die but the others live on. Use the Corey story for anthology story later.
Ya he (and writers) watched them all and just took bits from everything and put it into a commerciized and heavily overkilled homage in their not so great writing. They didn't follow the original in what made it great though. SUSPENSE and real HORROR. There's nothing truly original in his trilogy. He just rehashed and reverses events of other movies which he cut out of his timeline. It's cheap and too fanboyish in the wrong ways. Well he's made his money so hopefully he fucks off for good. Thanks for making Micheal into Jason and not following any of the things that made Micheal Myers scary.
I think this film’s biggest issue is that it shouldn’t have been the final chapter of this trilogy as well as the concluding film in the Laurie Strode Saga. I think I would have been totally cool with it being called Halloween: A New Beginning and having it marketed accurately after this final installment, but as “Halloween Ends” it just fails to deliver on its expectations. (The expectations built up by the two preceding films and the film’s marketing). And Michael Myers deserved better.
That's what the "D00D" graffiti referenced, amongst several other visual metaphors symbolizing the cycle of rebirth, including the record player, all the tires, etc.
This guy and his "team" of "writers" managed to pull off the most brutal kill in the franchise, My Hallowen spirit. Halloween Ends was a pile of crap wrapped in garbage. I hope Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Paul Brad Logan & Chris Bernier never touch this franchise again. Definitely not looking forward to his Exorcist project now.
“EVIL DIES TONIGHT!”

The silence was my heart drop lol
They did Michael extremely dirty, threw his ass in an industrial shredder 😂😭🩸🎃 turned him into Halloween soup 😂
They made him a decrepit old man. Nothing could be worse than that.
I really didn't like michael in this movie. He felt like an old fragile man. So the ending wasn't even earned for luarie. She didn't kill the michael from the 1978 or 2018 and kills.

Don’t get me wrong I had fun with these movies and I loved them for what they are but Jesus the story they tried to tell didn’t just stumble along. It tripped, fell, rolled down a hill and stuck 0 landing. The kills in this trilogy were fantastic, the score, Michael in kills was the absolute best we’ve ever seen, the way he was filmed, the mask. Everything. They nailed so many details but made pacing and story decisions that made no sense in kills and ends
@@HellaSlow3.7 “Kills” sucked. Not as bad as “Ends” but it was a shitty movie.
@@jasoninthehood9726 kills story sucked, but undoubtedly the most well shot and well directed Michael we’ve ever gotten (outside the original) Every moment he was on screen he looked like amazing.
Pandemic def didn’t help
That final scene after watching it a 3rd time...with frank and Laurie if you pay attention you just see Laurie gazing off into nothing as frank is feeling the anxiety trickle everywhere with that feeling he knows
4 writers and this was what we GOT!!
4 writers equates to concessions and compromised integrity.
Too many cooks in the kitchen
It was just a group of uncreative fools
Is GOT a game of thrones reference? Most people hated the last season.
4 writers and a director who has never done a horror film, comedy folks, but be glad we got better sequels unlike part 5, part 6, Resurrection, poor acting and Dawson Creek H20 and Rob Zombie's white trash Halloween development.
Perri is a flawless presenter. Such interesting, engaging, unexpected questions. 10/10
Confirmed: Green and the three other writers had no plan or direction for what they were doing making another Halloween film. Cuz, boy did it show.
I'm also hoping for a director cut of this movie, to see if Michael is seen more? Answering a few questions on why he stays in the sewer and comes out to see Laurie and disappears again. Maybe other kills Michael has and the bag man sees. Why he wants the mask.
well this is the directors cut. you’re looking for an extended cut or some sort of a producers cut
Well I believe the Myers house was destroyed so he can’t “go back home”. But I agree.
We definitely needed more context. I liked the concept but we needed more context regarding Michael and Corey.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I 100% agree. I thought the Corey actor did a very good job we just needed more context or to be a little more on the nose.
@@Austin-cr5zo oh I agree fully. The actor who played Corey was perfect. Even just a couple more brief scenes of the 2 of them interacting down in their lair would've made it better.
Michael Myers had a cameo in this movie. I got so excited when he came 🤧🔥
Corey was cool but they focused too much on him in the end. They cut the climactic battle short. The best battle between Laurie and Michael was in Halloween (2018) but weren’t we building up to a bigger battle for Ends? At least that’s what they were advertising. Still enjoyed what we got though. 🎃
Corey got more and more interesting, and the fact they just killed him off left me feeling like building him up the way they did was all pointless!
@@Jimquivious he didnt die cory was breathing at the end of the movie before credits roll he is the new shape
@@chrisjackson7625 when / where did you see him breathing?
@@Jimquivious yea, I was waiting to hear something like that i didn't catch it either
The Corey storyline would've worked if they actually kept Michael in the movie and still had HIM doing most of the kills. End fight should've been longer/more intense as well. If you're going to kill off Myers like that, make sure he goes out with a bang by ensuring his brutality/presence at the very least is maintained. That character was hugely disrespected. There were more than enough resources to balance the "uniqueness" they were going for and keeping things close to its roots in that final film.
I wonder if they considered having Michael grab Laurie as he's being pulled into the grinder as either one last jump scare or him actually pulling her in with him and they both die?
This crossed my mind as well. I think I would’ve preferred it if Michael was put into the grinder while still alive, and try to pull Laurie in with him. But don’t get me wrong I still enjoyed the scene where he was trapped on the table when Laurie slit his throat and wrist.
i wish he did, one my my only complaints is the throat slash the kills michael but gunshots, fire, pitchforks, and beating dont kill him
@@basiczachh3978 taking into account the blood he lost though between throat slit and wrist
@@basiczachh3978 He was impaled through the sternum, stabbed through his lungs via his armpit, had his right hand also completely cut in half, his left hand pinned, had his throat slashed and *then* his right arm split all the way down.
On top of being drastically weakened at 65 years old… If that didn’t kill him, you might as well just say “lol gotta make another movie so still alive.”
@@Jimquivious And maybe more than anything, the cumulative damage he sustained over 7 decades with no, real medical attention in the last four when the majority of it happened.
I never got the impression that he was supposed to be “magical” in this, just superhuman - whatever that means. He lived in a sewer, eating rats and maybe people.
He’d seen better days.
Halloween kills should have been Halloween Ends with Michael's fate. Corey Cunningham's character should have been in all 3 films. He should have been Tommy Jarvis, the new Michael Myers.
I admire the choices the team made with this film. I understand the discourse from the majority of the Halloween fanbase, but I think this was a really unique take for a franchise that's been very wash, rinse, repeat over the past 45 years. Thankfully for the fans who hated this, there are still 12 other Halloween movies that they can revisit whenever they want. Plus the inevitable reboot in 5-10 years.
But David Gordon Green ROBBED HISTORY of an appropriate ending to the saga of Michael and the original Laurie Strode. It's not about fans liking this movie or not. The final battle drops from out of nowhere with ABSOLUTELY ZERO build up between them in the entire movie. It's not about the 12 other movies. There will never be another movie with the original Laurie Strode, and DGG absolutely F'D UP the last one, period.
@@jamesknightley4201 Then rewatch H20 or H18 if you want the big Laura vs mike angle. Or even the og Halloween 2 & Resserction despite how little she does. Let us have one film alittle different than the rest, you have options
It was terrible writing for the end of a trilogy!
@@jamesknightley4201 WHY are YOU coversating THIS way? Its OBNOXIOUS in ANY context. But Ends was better than 90% of the franchise, we've seen the last of Strode half a dozen times now as I pointed out. This trilogy will be a fan favorite after the next reboot, Ends will be the new Season of the Witch for abit then a cult classic. It's the natural cycle of dense Halloween fans
@@NerdySabbath Even if this movie had absolutely nothing to do with Halloween (which it already barely does) and you just swapped out all of these legacy characters for total strangers, it would make absolutely no difference to the Halloween franchise outside of the last 15 minutes. It's wild that people go out of their way to defend garbage by trying to call other people dense when, really, it's okay to like shitty movies. Just own it.
Its a sad ending off halloween ends, 2018 and kills was awsome but Michael never dies and as a hardcore halloween fan, i am just sad🎃😢
Even if he died we'd know they'd reboot and come back. However, now they don't necessarily need to reboot him.
His evil survived.
If his version of The Exorcist is anything like his version of Halloween, then I look forward to the complete mess it will inevitably become.
You like mess?
Exactly, how do you have Michael Myers getting man handled by Screech from save by the Bell It's simply doesn't make sense.
@@chennao Just laughable and cringe. They built him up as an unkillable supernatural tank but Screech can just knock him over and lay him out on his back? Nah. Also grandma Strode has the power to do the same? *eyeroll
@@chennao Cory had more power, Michael is 65 didn't you know?
@@joextreme Michael must have missed his afternoon nap
I loved the movie. Different but staying true to the spirit. Overall the trilogy is fantastic.
I feel sorry for the diehard Exorcist fans, now they will have to inherit this mess of a director.
William Friedkin nor William Peter Blatty would let these neophyte hacks near their scared material.
I loved this trilogy! Thank you David Gordon Green and co. Hope there's an extended cut for the blu-ray release for Ends.
His written Story failed our Michael Myers Fans. He didn't allow Michael Myers to come out enough bringing out a New character replacing Michael Myers a very disappointment This director knows that we all been fans of Michael Myers He didn't care he wanted to do own thing The Worse Decision his Ever Made . Halloween Started with Michael Myers Made it a Big Hit he he ruined it for us . its not Worth Spending time money on this Film iam glad I didn't waste my money I saw it on Peacock . Corey did a great job if it was a different horror film I would been happy but in Halloween ends post to been about Michael Myers expeclly being the End of Michael Myers Halloween Ends 🤬🤬
Im a Michael myers fan and i liked it

Speak for yourself, i enjoy the trilogy alot
@@jeffcunningham0389 You and I both. And the film hit me especially hard without getting into detail, being a father and having an accident occur that I knew nothing I could've done would've prevented it, yet everyone tried to throw a sinister light on me, even people I trusted. Fortunately no one died when this happened to me but I understand and can relate to the experience Corey went through, where you get treated like The Boogeyman.
I’ll leave it at Halloween 1978, 2018, Kills. Ends did not happen and does not exist
Agreed
Dude you ruined Michael Myers SMH
This film was so frustrating. No Michael for 38 minutes and when we do get him he isn't himself and kinda a wimp. This Halloween film does not feel like kills or 2018. This film feels like a whole new creative team. So bummed they decided on this story to end Laurie and Michaels story arc. Damnit
Why even mention Laurie? You obviously aren’t concerned with her story arc. Kills is a whole film of MM killing and you want the same? So if he came out swing 5 mins in how would that end? Sounds like H20
@@ateam404 hes a typicsl Myers Fan Kid lol he dont understand the First Movie he thinks its only a movie about Michael but its not

Four writers. That explains a lot. The film was sold as a sendoff for two iconic characters, but was centered around a new one who takes their shine. Kind of frustrating to say the least
Sorry. This movie was just directed bad and wasn't scary at all..
It was a slasher movie
A climatric battle that lasted 5 minutes
😂 what a joke of a movie
@Ye Good Ole PotSpot perfectly said!!!!
I mean it was a good fight between Laurie and Michael, but if this was Kills Michael she wasn’t walking away from that
"You kill Michael Myers", "Do we?" God, I hope not. He needs to be back next Halloween, imo.
Oh, I get it. David Gordon Green is the Michael Bay of horror movies. It all makes sense now.
Yeah he's a dope
ironically Michael Bay was in talks to PRODUCE a Halloween movie but that got scrapped.
2018 is the only one worth watching. Kills was barely okay and this one is an absolute train wreck.
Awee did kills offend you? Too much killing ?
lol a love song to the fans? he spit in our faces
maybe to him, he is into that lol

Nothing can go lower than Resurrection.
@@trailersfromhell2539 this did and at least they had MM's in it for longer than 20minutes
I wish David Robert Mitchell who directed “It Follows” did the new Halloween movies. Closest I’ve seen to the atmosphere of the original.
He seems to be admitting that they just made it up as they went along and made it to please each other, not the audience. There seems to be no interest in telling a good story, just make things up as you go along. What a freak'in mess! They don't have the ability to do The Exorcist - they will ruin it too. There is no way this team can see why the Exorcist was such a well made movie. He admits to going to Ellen Burnstyn for help writing it - they are making this one up as they do along too.
I am not a fan of complete spontaneity in writing either, but these movies always appeared to me like they had the inverse issue: forcing the story to go where the bullet-points take them.
Vince Gilligan and his staff wrote ‘Breaking Bad’ by shooting from the hip; it’s not a bad thing.
The key difference is that Gilligan is a great writer and Gordon Green is better served as a director. I’m not sure what he said that made you think that it was all “made up as they went,” but his first input was about how nothing radically changed.
Having multiple writers kick around alternatives is a normal function of scriptwriting. They envisioned a messy, one-day sequence and changed it to the same, messy, four-year sequence.
And they are not good at making things up as they go🤦
What didn’t you like?
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona did you watch the movie and know anything about the Halloween movies& Michael Myers?
The vision of art y'all have doesn't make any sense. Art is about creation, an artist's perspective and point of view. It is very very personnal. Trying to make a story only to please an audience sucks ! Because it is impossible to please everyone !
This movie was an abomination and an insult to the Halloween ethos.
I wanted this hack to explain himself, and I got my answer. Incompetence at it's finest. 4 writers and this is the best they could come up with? They're either all talentless hacks, or they intentionally wanted to piss off the fan base. With Ends being the last of their trilogy there wouldn't have been a financial incentive to appease fans as they'd already gotten our money, and would be moving onto to other projects. Considering most of the players involved I'm leaning more towards the latter, and if that's the case then f them! This isn’t how you repay a fan base who's been loyal to this franchise for over 40 years.
He says 'vision' but then he says it had 4 writers workshopping. That's exactly what it felt like by the end, a film made by committee...too many cooks in the kitchen
You need a few more cooks to help with your grammar.

@@Nick-us6tz he needs our help!! Lol
Am I the only one who enjoyed this movie? It wasn’t the perfect send-off for Michael/Laurie, but I came into it wondering how they could execute a film with a ~65 year old, injured Michael. I think it would be difficult to portray a 2018-style Myers with everything that happened in the previous two films.
That being said, absolutely loved the Corey storyline, but felt like it could have been in Kills instead of the overindulgence in the town mob.
I enjoyed it a lot
But it was supposed to be the I perfect send off for Michael/Laurie. That was the whole point of this trilogy. To end the story definitively.
It wasn't a bad movie per se, it's just not an appropriate way to close out a franchise, from a storytelling perspective. Finales are for tying up loose ends, not creating new stories. That's just how I see it.
@@chaseraube-boyer7067 think you hit the nail on the head with that, good point
I loved it. Different but staying true to the spirit. Overall the trilogy is fantastic.
This movie could have and should have been way better. They spit in the face of Halloween fans with this one
100% agreed. And it's 1000x worse knowing it's the last movie with Laurie Strode. I feel so robbed.
@@jamesknightley4201 Yeah it was definitely a step down
They clearly had no plan for this trilogy and didn’t have full confidence in where they were taking the characters of Michael and Laurie. Introducing a new lead character in the final entry of a trilogy is such a dumb idea
I loved Halloween Ends
Id like to know the script of how it was when it was gonna happen in the same night
The only problem was that we needed more context and logistics regarding Michael and Corey.
No there was alot wrong story line wise but I'm personally ok with it
Or no Corey, period.
We dont though , michael should always remain mysterious and he should never be fully explained to the audience
@@anonymous4k4k ...and he should never be in a "buddy movie" with an accomplice.
@@jamesknightley4201 its not a “buddy” movie though and he isnt really his accomplice , they werent teaming up , michael followed corey once just so he could kill someone
So 4 writers and each of them felt it was ok to give us a weak ass Michael who only had like 10 minutes of the movie? 🤷🏻♂️
Wow this is embarrassing. He dodges EVERY question with a nothing cryptic answer. He did not care about this movie at all. Kick him off The Exorcist before he ruins that too.
Stay mad, as someone who disliked ends…it was still 100x better than red right hand
This movie had the junkyard scene and dj kill which were the only good 2 things in the movie but also he isn’t dodging the questions either
The next film should present as a straightforward remake of Season of the Witch at first. But in a second/third act or final scene/after credits scene twist it turns out to be a sequel to 3 and 6, while serving as a true Halloween 9 simultaneously, due to Silver Shamrock Corp. and Cult of Thorn multiversal travel experiments-since both groups are part of a larger, even more mysterious entity whose evil cannot be contained to one world. Then the sequel incorporates all timelines-RZH2 and the new trilogy as well. I know how to do it without it being corny, cheesy, or too heavy on the mythology. Just like with this trilogy, the mythos and mystery will mostly be in the background, merely there to set the stage for great character development and exploration of deeper themes, ultimately evolving into a true anthology franchise with the branding of our favorite holiday... Eventually this sets the stage for a Horror Cinematic Universe.
Personally, I enjoyed the movie, the gore was fantastic and a few scenes still stuck with me, I see the criticisms, but I can also appreciate how they tried new things, there are plenty of things I’d change, but there’s also plenty of things I’d keep. I found Michael having an apprentice of sorts rather interesting. The movie isn’t perfect, but what movie is ever 100% perfect? I think it wrapped this trilogy up in a pretty ok bow.
This trilogy was NOT for the fans! Unfortunately, I get the sense we true Halloween fans will never get what we want.
Insane that the Cult of Thorn is no longer the worst of this franchise. They had no idea what they were doing to end it is the sad part...It became an ugly rehash of Christine
Without the bad ass car?
A great way to end the trilogy, while paying tribute to the original trilogy. 2018 was their tribute to Carpenter’s Halloween, Kills was their tribute to Halloween 2 and the slasher genre as a whole, then Ends is their tribute to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. A completely different and original story not really revolving around Michael, but still tying Michael into the story and ending the trilogy.
David Gordon Green was the wrong man for the job. That’s for sure.
This man has put himself into the same category as Rob zombie
DGG has the kinda face that will destroy a franchise...
DDG needed to stay away from Halloween . James Jude Courtney the best shape sidelined like this for what we got with Ends . Not a fan at all . Glad I'm not a big Exorsist fan .
I loved Ends but I never agreed with the consensus that JJC knocked Michael out of the park. Though he was definitely still better than the vast majority of Michael actors. But too much bending at the knees and back. Too angular and large, reminiscent of a slightly nerfed RZ Michael. Way too heavy in the feet.
@@JohnPritzlaff No he's that tall. Tyler Maine is huge! I think it was a portrayal of a man who is just old and just a human? I guess? Still he needed to be in more of it and not job out to a new character. I did like the movie but I don't like it as a Halloween movie! I do love the balls he had to do this! Overall as a whole 3/5! The last 30 mins is a 4/5 the first part 2.5 that's how got my score!
@@RaidenRoach45 idk the original Michael was 6'2" with tight, somewhat compact proportions. Don't get me wrong, he kinda nailed the movement at times. Perhaps the best portrayal of the sequels, but still off a lot. The original Michael was lithe-catlike. This guy kinda stomped around too much and he walked with bent knees and back too much. Also arguably moved too fast, though there is the kill of Linda's boyfriend in '78 where he bursts out of the pantry at lightning speed.
@@RaidenRoach45 You spelled Manes's name wrong tard! The movie needed more me! Like this guy cares about your opinions! GTFO! This movie is the best outta the 3 sorry but me and that dudes right about this! ..You got your name naturally huh cause your definitely a Gomer which means your dumb AF!
JJC is usually listed at 6'3" or sometimes 6'2 1/2". But it's the shape of the shape, his proportions, and the way he moves his weight. Most importantly it's how he is filmed. The original Michael felt somehow both taller and shorter than JJC because of how he was filmed. And JJC has bigger, much heavier feet.
Definitely the weakest in the trilogy but I actually enjoyed seeing Michael with a friend 😂... I can definitely appreciate the movie being different and exploring the fact that Evil itself is contagious and addictive. I'm glad Laurie finally got the ending she deserved but damn Michael did not get enough time to shine. So many good ideas just poorly executed
I loved the movie. Way better than Halloween Kills. Michael has ever been a supernatural killer, so making him an old made sense.
Halloween 2018 very good movie. Exception is Dr. Sartain. He was horrible. The line from Laurie "OH the new Loomis" very very cringe why did you need to say that at all? Fans aren't stupid.
Halloween Kills mostly good. The flashbacks are cool but Hawkins wanst in the original movie.
Bringing back Lindsey, Marion, Tommy Doyle, Sheriff Brackett awesome. Micheal Anthony Hall ....ahhh. well he's a great actor but he didn't fit the Tommy Doyle character at all. Bad casting. "Evil dies tonight" used way way too much in the movie. Got tired of hearing it. The other mental patient side story, well that was out of place as well. Should've left that out.
Halloween ends - Terrible.
Just like every other Halloween movie sequel you fucked up big time!! Trash writers
instead of trying to subvert audience expectations all the time maybe this guy and the rest of Hollywood should try just making stories that are good. Now that would subvert our expectations at this point
I absolutely loved this trilogy. It was the most cohesive timeline and the theme carried onto three films. Carpenter’s vision for Halloween was never to have Michael be the forefront. He was a “shape” of evil. His evil then infected Dr Sartian in 2018, Haddonfield in Kills, and Corey in Ends. Do I believe the marketing team focused too much on Michael and Laurie, absolutely. This timeline was never about Michael and Laurie which was evident in 2018 when they decided to wipe that sibling storyline. Hate or not… David wrote this trilogy because of his love for this franchise.
I hope someone meshes all 3 films together and cuts out the Corey storyline maybe it would be a better watch. I knew from the very beginning DGG was going to butcher Ends.
Perri os awesome
Can't wait until Halloween Lives: The return of Corey Cunningham

@@Mason-sg9zf You sound like a three year old .
In my opinion the movie was okay if it wasn't called Halloween. Michael was in it for maybe a total of 10 minutes. Plus the scenes that he was in they made him look weak and not all there. Then they killed him with not much of a fight. I truly feel Michael Myers was disrespected in Halloween Ends.
Enjoyed the film, albeit I can see it’s flaws. But at least it tried something new, even if it didn’t work for everyone.
ghe Myers Fan kiddys who thinks 1978 Is only a Fim about a psychedelic Killer man are hating it but they doesnt understand the real story Laurie is the most important part

It's funny watching Halloween videos moustha akkad said it himself the more sparingly you show Michael the more effective he is lol. They really took this line literally lol. I've been thinking for years like this film says evil changes shape it passes to others unlock the darkness in others spreads lol. They explore this in franchise before so this ain't necessarily new but they call more attention to it I think lol. The evil has been passed on before. That's probably what happened to Michael lol. He was maybe normal. Lots of videos I've seen even the Halloween novelization they make it sound like he was a normal kid up to a certain point then the darkness or curse started popping up lol. Evil has always been passed on all the way back to the original novelization lol. I can connect Halloween and Michael to anything. The story if evil it has always changed shape. It can be a kid. A man. A woman. A dog. A doll. A demon. So many horror movies all the same evil. Corey can be nature vs nuture. His life kind of parallels Michael life in rob zombies Halloween with his home life and social life is always chaotic lol. MaKing them vulnerable for the evil to take over. These feelings of rage and anger and jealousy and lots like that is like the path to the darkside. Once you give in to those feelings. Or give in to that voice in your head or devil on your shoulder then you're consumed by evil either instantly or eneverabley lol.
Eastbound and Down was brilliant!!! Why did you have to go and dip your toes in Halloween?!?! 😩
I think this trilogy is the best in the halloween series , for sure my favourite timeline. I love all 3 , and i like how different each one is
I can't stop thinking about this film, the audacity. Loved it. DGG expanded the themes of the original and made Michael bigger, much bigger than he ever was. I was engrossed the entire time and giddy that he delivered a story that made Michael's evil palpable. It swallows the town and then Corey. Who needs seeing Michael in his makeshift bed or eating a stray dog. KILLS was non-stop slasher mayhem but with a boring, boilerplate script that TELLS without SHOWING. "Michael is transcending," Laurie says for no reason whatsoever. But in ENDS we SEE him transcend from being a man in a sewer to an infecting evil. I know this film will only grow in stature over time.
Corey gets a five minute payoff and then gets killed before the climax of the movie starts and never gets referred to again.
The audacity to manufacture an illusion of risk because you have a 25 minute Laurie Strode short film in you but need to make it feature length so you decide to directly rip off Christine down to the entire character arc and last name.
@@CarloisBuriedAlive Well I for one would've LOVED if, well, Michael wasn't literally there; that he truly was one with Corey now. Could you IMAGINE the diaper filling? It's already out of hand. Plus I find it amazing how angry everyone is at a director who delivered not one but TWO films they all seem to dig. Sorry but this was a ballsy move and the anger that it's brought about proves it. Might not've been your jam and I respect that. They had an entirely different third film lined up, to take place that same night. I'm so grateful they did something different and I think in time, once people get over the disappointment of not being given what was expected, it'll find its audience.
@@chrisarrison1175 I wasn’t a fan of Kills, nor am I a representation of the entire fanbase. Your response is more of a reaction to the fanbase than an actual response to me and what I’ve said. Congrats on liking the movie - I enjoyed elements of it but my main issues are not even less Michael - it’s everything else and then them ultimately not committing to any of it. I can’t like a movie just because it’s different - which, ironically enough, many fans of the movie are saying fans don’t like it because it’s different and yet their main source of pleasure is because it’s “different.” Lol
@@CarloisBuriedAlive It's definitely an homage to Christine, no question. I see nothing wrong with that. And yeah, maybe there was nothing but a short film to be filmed regarding their showdown. Imagine a full-length movie of more-of-the-same. I don;' just like it because it's different. I found it compelling, well-acted, surprising. I find the idea of a weakened Michael - who's getting his mojo back through killing - scarier than Terminator Michael. I think the scarecrow mask rules and that this film had the best new Carpenter score. I get why folks don't like it. . . . and I don't.
@@chrisarrison1175 an homage? He has the same exact character arc, shares the same last name, works in a junk yard, has a similar family dynamic, and his appearance changes over the course of the movie. When do we leave homage territory and enter rip-off territory? And again with the “I get why fans don’t like it” - no you don’t. I’ve heard many different criticisms of the movie, from the writing, to its place in the trilogy, to how little connective tissues we have between Kills and Ends, to how the characters don’t seem fully fleshed out, to Lindsey and Hawkins being useless, to how anticlimactic it all feels…it’s not just about Michael’s absence. This is getting presumptuous and it’s all because there’s an inherent disrespect for the sub genre and its fans. It’s all different versions of saying “you guys are too dumb to get it.”
Honestly? The worst Halloween ever was... I hope it doesn't get to the famous brand.
gotta say i really enjoyed ends!! for me, it expanded michael’s lore, i’d say my biggest complaint is that michael dies from a throat slash, i wish they had him struggling a bit while they were taking him to the junk yard
The risk wasn't right... Corey should've been in a quarter of this movie. I get his storyline but nobody watches Halloween to not watch Michael Myers.
The literal worst decision I’ve ever seen made in a franchise. The is straight to dvd type story and execution.
Ends was textbook of how not to stick the landing.
Hollywood is disturbing lately completely out of touch
Bro, they are all woke.
I ADORE THIS MOVIE!! The whole trilogy too!!! I can feel all the love and effort that was put into everything. ❤❤❤🎉
Good joke
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So basically you didn't know how to end the Halloween saga. So throw shit at the wall and something will stick. Plus what to do next, we all know what they are going to do......REBOOT!
Absolutely the worst Halloween movie yet !!!
Have you seen Resurrection?
Isn’t it clear that Michael passes the evil on to Corey? When Michael looks in his eyes he sees what Corey has been through and passes the evil on to him as a gift. But really Michael needs Corey to keep bringing him people to kill because Michael was clearly getting stronger as he killed.
Yes then they just kill Corey off. Pointless!
@@Jimquivious Or did they? He didn't die from stabbing himself in the neck because he grabs Michael's leg later. And Michael snaps his neck.... but does that mean he's dead this time? If Michael passed his powers on to Corey, can he endure what Michael has endured over all these movies? I honestly hate the whole thing and hope they DO NOT create a new boogeyman for the Halloween franchise (that will be the end of my fandom forever) ....but I don't think anyone can say for sure that Corey is dead at the end of that movie.
@@jamesknightley4201 true, tbh I doubt anyone could be alive after being stabbed by a large kitchen knife through the neck, but Corey did…..
David Gordon Green, You ruined an iconic movie franchise. Halloween and Michael Myers belongs to the fans. Without us you got nothing. Can't believe how you disrespected the movie, the 40+ years history, fans. Unbelievable!!!
I've been feeling so alone. People are actually liking this punk ass version of Michael Myers. Than you so much.
@@Billybadass311 Hey, thank you.
@@Billybadass311 Tons of horror fans shitting all over Green on Reddit. Green and everyone else involved with this pile of dog shit excuse of a movie should be banned from making any more. And to think, this guy will be doing the Exorcist movies next....
Oh this man here is Bold. Showing his face in interviews even after this trash film? balls of steel on this one.
It was fantastic
@@JohnnyNada without the halloween it might have been "fantastic" but it was a complete bait and switch for people that paid their hard earned money to go see it. film version of clickbaiting.
I really believe Jamie Lee Curtis had way too much mental health influence and trauma issue on this movie...unfortunately this absolutely destroyed this franchise...I give credit as far as having this much balls to make a collectively made desecration to your own movie...to many chefs in this kitchen plus external influence....Cory should have been introduced way earlier...dgg I can't believe u did this
Wish he could fix the Jamie Lloyd timeline with Danielle Harris or the resurrection timeline.
We deserved to see more of Michael…him in the sewer, what he’d been up to the last 4 YEARS/right after Kills, etc. we deserved to not have more questions than answers at the end of this trilogy yet here we are. Kills shouldve ended with Michael grabbing Karen by the throat, attempting to choke the life out of her but not being able to due to massive injuries sustained so he tosses her out his sister’s window. Her vocal chords are crushed from his grab, eye socket, nose and face are fractured from the fall, we don’t know of she lives or dies u til Ends. We then discover she did in Fact live but cannot speak and can only communicate through sign language/written word. We still get this version of Laurie but j only when everyone is watching…otherwise she is still
Vindictive and angry as ever about what Michael did to her daughter. She has a whole cork board dedicated to possible whereabouts of Myers over the last 4 years and has even gone out searching for him with very little-no leads, only rumors of a “disappearer of men”. Movie ends with Michael, Laurie, Karen, Alyson in a standoff. Hawkins lends a hand as well, laurie and Mike both die but the others live on. Use the Corey story for anthology story later.
I wonder if green ever even watched any of halloween movies
Ya he (and writers) watched them all and just took bits from everything and put it into a commerciized and heavily overkilled homage in their not so great writing. They didn't follow the original in what made it great though. SUSPENSE and real HORROR. There's nothing truly original in his trilogy. He just rehashed and reverses events of other movies which he cut out of his timeline. It's cheap and too fanboyish in the wrong ways. Well he's made his money so hopefully he fucks off for good. Thanks for making Micheal into Jason and not following any of the things that made Micheal Myers scary.
I think this film’s biggest issue is that it shouldn’t have been the final chapter of this trilogy as well as the concluding film in the Laurie Strode Saga. I think I would have been totally cool with it being called Halloween: A New Beginning and having it marketed accurately after this final installment, but as “Halloween Ends” it just fails to deliver on its expectations. (The expectations built up by the two preceding films and the film’s marketing). And Michael Myers deserved better.
Kills was the final chapter of the trilogy. Ends was the rebirth chapter, the 4th movie in the quadrilogy that includes '78.
That's what the "D00D" graffiti referenced, amongst several other visual metaphors symbolizing the cycle of rebirth, including the record player, all the tires, etc.
I'm So Excited Can't Wait To Watch Halloween Ends Very Soon !
Just beware, its more of a teen romance/thriller than a Halloween slasher film.
@@Mason-sg9zf Wow, im not allowed an opinion? Why is it averaging 4 out 10 on IMDB if its really good?
This guy and his "team" of "writers" managed to pull off the most brutal kill in the franchise, My Hallowen spirit.
Halloween Ends was a pile of crap wrapped in garbage. I hope Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Paul Brad Logan & Chris Bernier never touch this franchise again. Definitely not looking forward to his Exorcist project now.
