So I'm a huge fan of the original. I've seen every sequel and the reboot many times, except Resurrection because it was the worst one ever. I thought 2018 was the best of the sequels because it felt the most like the original. It wasn't perfect and still missed a few things but it was very notable for a Halloween fan.
I didn't like Halloween Kills. The characters were so stupid which is not what Halloween is about. Also Michael Myers isn't a rampage killer. He's patient and methodical and stalks his victims. The whole thing just didn't work for me. It felt like Jason, not Michael.
So I was expecting this one to be a disappointment as well. If you're expecting it to be like the previous ones it's not. So if that bothers you, you're not going to have a good time. This explores the idea that evil is a force that can consume someone. As Dr. Loomis ranted about Michael in the original, referring to him as a thing and not a person. Someone consumed by evil with no conscience or reason left, just a one dimensional being. It's an interesting concept that hasn't been explored in all the Halloween movies. It's not a perfect movie, but it is an entertaining one.
I was expecting this to be more of the same, Michael comes back, kills more people, has a showdown, and dies for good. If you're want that and are expecting that you won't like this movie. If you're a fan of the theme of Halloween, that Michael Myers is not supernatural, but consumed by a force of nature, then you might really enjoy this movie, like I did.
