Outside of the mostly satisfying kills this movie sucked so hard. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} You could have cut out all the flashback scenes and nothing would have been lost.
If you wanted me to feel bad about the dad dying in the last movie you shouldn’t have made him such a nothing character.
Apparently when your vigilante mob gets the wrong person killed the solution is to form another slightly better organized mob.
Wasn’t Jamie Lee Curtis great in the last movie? Well she’s in this one for about 10 minutes of screen time, 8 of which is in a hospital bed.
Micheal is also in about half the movie as the mob is almost the bigger focus.
I didn’t expect watching Tommy Doyle get murdered 40 years later would have been so satisfying but this movie at least achieved that.

Well, if they don't wanna make Halloween Ends the last movie there is at least potential for a stoner comedy spinoff with Big John and Little John.

Wasn't really excited for this, but came in here to see the consensus before devoting two hours of my life to it.
Doesn't seem like I'm missing anything by skipping it.

I loved it personally, janky sequel hook ending aside.

It was….fine, if a bit silly in spots and much of it serving as a Halloween Ends setup. Some decent scary moments, and they were at least trying to say something meaningful.
Was it me, or did a lot of the dialogue seem super-obvious and simple? I noticed it a little in the 2018 one, but way more this time.

The biggest issues i had were: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}How they used Hawkins to connect him to the OG movie and explain how Michael got in captivity. It was so blah. Loomis busting in the house with the trench coat on and talking to Hawkins though blew my mind for a second.
I also still do not really understand why they kept making such a big significance of Michael standing in his sister window? I mean he had to do that while she was still alive right? So just watching prey?

So strange that there are 5 different timelines now with 1/2/H20. 1/2/H20, and Ressurection. 1/2 and the Thorn storyline (4/5/6). Rob Zombies Halloween 1 and 2 and now Halloween, Halloween, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.
I separate the inclusion of Ressurection in the 1,2, H20 timeline because of the utter disdain most of the OG cast has for it. Up until the recent movies Curtis always said that the story ended with H20

I watched this again earlier today and I think I hate it now. It’s a movie with brutal kills and a story that has no logic. It feels more and more like this was a cash grab in response to the success of the last one. No way was this originally a planned trilogy. Also, {Spoiler}the firefighters scene is so f***ing stupid. The fact that he was barely singed in that fire is just awful and silly.

I liked it. It was fun. If you ask me, I don't think it was violent enough.

Total mess in all honesty, veered from being really good to laughably bad and back again from scene to scene. Seemed to lack any direction or overall aim, horrible dialogue, baffling character motivations and felt like a film that had been written by 5 or 6 different people despite the fact that it (apparently) wasn't.
I'm normally incredibly forgiving of horror movies, but after how well they did with the last one in reviving the franchise this was a big letdown.

It is pretty fun that, in a twelve-film series, nearly half of them are called either Halloween or Halloween II.

Also, {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}the firefighters scene is so f***ing stupid. The fact that he was barely singed in that fire is just awful and silly. It wasn't a planned trilogy, Gordon Green's said as much. H18 was really good and they realized they could get three out of it. I can't blame them for wanting to cash in on it. I liked "Kills." I get why others don't, but I thought it was a solid slasher flick. Did it get bogged down in the middle with some of the hospital scenes, yeah. But I thought the kills were brutal, the Strode women were mostly solid characters that were easy to cheer on and I enjoyed the flashbacks. Regardless of how over the top he played it, Anthony Michael Hall also carried more of the movie than I expected. I suspect we'll still get Michael Myers movies eventually, but I really do want Ends to well, end, with the Strode women coming out on top and Michael being put down definitively. I think it's time to retire the character for a bit when this trilogy is over.

The thing that shocked me so much is they made me not give a crap at all about Tommy and I have been a fan of Anthony Michael Hall's since seeing Weird Science too.
