It was so disappointingly bad. On a better note it'd make a great comedy! 

:-1: But I'm not laughing

    I realize this is probably a troll post but I enjoyed it. 8/10. Not as good as the original of course but still well made and entertaining.

    It was horrible... and boring.

    The granddaughter has a pointless story and sooo many of the characters are badly written. And I would definitely not say it would be a great comedy since it isn't all that funny.

    But Jamie Lee Curtis was as good as always so I enjoyed it, so long as she was on screen.

    Pointless story? She's just supposed to get from point A to point B. It's a slasher, they're not known for their stories.

    As a fan of the franchise it was really disappointing. 
    There was no suspense. Dialogue was laughable. Meyers is old and slow. He shows emotion (like wtaf). He has a very visible pot belly in a few scenes.
    The granddaughter I agree is pathetic. No plot character development at all. Not one jump scare. Did I mention it was hilarious? 
    After the garage scene it was all down hill. Jaime Lee Curtis appeared to be more like a wonna be troubled loon but really it's just her really frizzy hair that's more troubling.
    The granddaughter makes no sense. Neither does the dad... Or the daughter.
    Michael gets out shined by his doc who is way more terrifying. 
    The chubby friend zone kid could have had an epic moment but they failed. Those three beers would have been funny if they were thrown. 
    The convo with the kid and dad who roll up on Meyers is... Well... Dumb. I wonna dance. No son you need to hunt. But dancing is my thing. Like huh? Just to have the kid... You know.
    Iconic Michael behind the blowing sheets in the wind like in the original totally missed the mark....the babysitter... Ugh. The tattoo? Why? 
    It's a B- on its best day dressed as a comedy. A solid C if it's free and a D- if you have to pay to see it.
    BTW I can be charming... when not getting an ear full of survivors mad because I tombstone the ferk outta them :lol:

    Edit: spelling, spacing
    Edit: more spelling :blush:

    Well... That's the thing. There is no direction to it. Which makes it boring... It's not even redundant, or almost scary it's... boring.
    He's not even scary. He looks like he woke up one morning with 2 left feet, fumbling around for his glasses and stumbles onto a knife. He's more pathetic, like I just failed gym pathetic, than scary.
    So yeah if you want that in a scary movie then great but that's not what people are hoping to see based on all the hype, articles and fan comments... Sad. 
    Michael has decayed into a dry, smelly, flat sponge. It's cringe-worthy like when not wanting to washing the dishes because actually touching the sponge will either disintegrate or lash out like a Muppet with a hand up their arse screaming "Aye, Aye take it easy I was meant for SMALL hands dammit! Take it easy!!!"
