It's barely even a Halloween movie. Throughout most of its duration, the focus was put on a character we had never even heard of, and everything that happens in the first 2 acts is pretty much inconsequential for the ending. The script was just so incredibly poor and messy, the choices made by the characters were leaning on the ridiculous and, most importantly, it was boring overall. Really, it was just so boring.

It's like the events of the first 90 minutes- garbage as they are (and my word, is every townsperson a jerk for no reason?)- completely undoes any desire to see the end confrontation that you'd expect from the movies to the point where I'm just unconcerned about the outcome at that stage. How can you mess up a movie this badly that's supposed to be about Laurie Strode finally confronting and dealing with Michael Myers?

"Hey, you know what we need for the epic finale of our meticulously planned trilogy? A brand new main character who's just a discount Arnie Cunningham, a ludicrous love story, a full hour of badly written meta discussion, and Laurie Strode writing a fucking self-help book."

This almost (a generous assumption) would have worked if the ending took place at the beginning, and then the rest of the film happened after the time jump. As it was, it just felt tacked on and is completely undercut by the rest of the film. A good script would have also helped but I can't hope for that much.

Even worse than I imagined it could be. It rightfully belongs down there with the duds of the slasher franchise. Conceptually, it had some interesting ideas. The opening scene was really interesting and messed up, but the rest of the movie is a rushed, clunky mess. Gone are the thrills of the better Halloween movies. Gone is the character development for the returning players. The dialogue and motivations made no sense and were even laughably bad. Even the production was trash. Skip it.

Never thought I’d live to see Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 supplanted as the weirdest Halloween movie. Wild watching this trilogy go in a few years from “back to basics” reboot to demonic possession shit. Hard to get all that hyped about Laurie nutting up and facing down Michael in a climactic final battle when we saw that a quarter-fuck-century ago in H20. Overall I don’t really know how anyone could argue this DGG trilogy really holds together as one three-part story.

This is the Halloween 6 of the trilogy. Allison going full "I can fix him"

It woulda been cool if it would have focused more on being a Halloween movie. Really, it's kind of sweet that one dude has basically spent 40 years trying to kill one woman. But you wouldn't know that here because Green focused so much on some other dude. And you hope that it might come together and form something cool but it doesn't. It just distracts us from the real reason we're here: Myers. The end is fine. But some of the dialogue and decision making is just awful before that.

It introduces a subplot that takes away from the main narrative and pushes it aside for the better part of the runtime. Most of the decision making in this movie makes zero sense and leaves you scratching your head about how it came to be in the first place. This truly does not feel like a Halloween film apart from the final 25 minutes of the movie. It was just odd all around.

The camera work was shit. Outside of Jamie Lee Curtis and Will Patton, the acting in this was pretty bad. I was surprised that they went the YA Emo route with the story, The Twilight version of Halloween. The ending was stupid and pathetic. Unfortunately, this film now takes the worst film in the franchise award.

Did it, though? Did it really come to a spine-chilling climax? Y'know I re-read my "Halloween Kills" review and ask, "how did they manage to wring most of the few good things about THAT movie, OUT of this one?" I don't care about this "young man has problems, becomes serial killer" archetype, and I don't particularly care about this Halloween movie that ISN'T about Michael Myers. Like the last one, it has some ideas but it just wants to express them, not explore them. Kill quality dropped, too.

The first half veered far away from formula which definitely hooked me. I wondered what Green was going for, but as things took a more supernatural turn the message (society creates monsters; revenge leads to evil?) was sophomoric, but what should I expect from the slasher genre? I was ready to forgive but it soon becomes clear the first 2/3rds of the story is a red herring; a time filler; a way for the filmmakers to avoid repeating themselves since they shot their load too early w/ the first 2.
2	moraesfelipe	45 _24th
Sadly so disjointed. I don't mind yet again this trope of a city haunted by trauma and blaming the victims -- the Laurie's family -- and provoking tragedy after tragedy. But everything seems so bland and fragile -- why is Laurie writing a book on trauma? come on --, even the 'new' The Shape -- his arc starts promising and then derails big time.

Respect to green for writing and directing after what i can only suspect was a series of very heavy strokes.

Thank god it's over

I really thought it would at least be better than Halloween Kills, but nope

David gordon green you are son of a bitch. How dare you to make that? (just for last 5 mins)
2	Yoshinaruto	35 _7th
I liked the opening and the showdown. The rest ranges from decent to plain stupid. They took Allyson, who I liked in the previous two films, and made her almost insufferable by the end. It feels like a mashup of Freddy’s Revenge and Twilight for most of its runtime. It does nothing to justify having two films after 2018. If one were to watch one of the timelines, I’d recommend 1 > 2 > H20, or 1 > 2018. You could even check out 3 &/or 4 instead of this unnecessary conclusion.

Laurie Strode finally gets justice. It's finally over. Michael Myers is done. Definitively done. And nobody is talking about that, because the rest of the movie is such pure garbage. This isn't just a botched production, this is a dumpster fire of a whole new level. And it makes this entire trilogy look really bad with just how bad it is. Honestly, just let this franchise die now. Please. Let Laurie live in peace, and let Jamie Lee Curtis do other shit.

Just hire me, I could do the script ten times better than this.
1	KasperL	60 _50th
Somewhat bizarre (particularly the "If I can't have her" moment) but I found it very entertaining. Definitely one of the better entries in my book.
1	Mirelurk	70 _50th
I enjoyed this a lot more than the last, it's silly and requires big jumps of logic and suspension of disbelief but it felt like a good old fashioned b-movie from the 80's which I think is what it was going for. The Laurie Strode character has changed so much from the last film they barely seem like the same person but it kinda works, especially when we start seeing her use her strength again. I think the theme of violence begetting more violence is played better this time around than in kills.

Not as bad as 6 or Resurrection, but that's not saying much

Halloween Ends is messy, and I feel like I have to look at in 2 different ways. I think this would be a very interesting start to a new trilogy. It’s very character driven, and it has all the bullet points of an interesting setup. However, this is a finale in an established narrative which is suppose to be a send off to an important character…which it does not lend itself to at all. It feels out of touch, and it is. This is a confused movie, and not a good one, but I still like it.
1	The_Rveal	20 _9th
The big scene, and the kills leading up to it, are executed with the same flair and technical polish as Halloween Ends’ two immediate predecessors, which might be all that’s left to do with these characters, this setting, and that famous mask. Maybe that’s enough, but it’s hard not to wish for more.

40 putain d'années, pour un putain de final stupide. Nouveau personnage inutile, nouvelle intrigue débile et un putain de final qui dure 2 putain de minutes. Il est où le vrai Myers ? On s'en tape de l'autre puceau ! Heureusement que j'aime bien cette putain de saga ! La déception de l'année ! David Gordon Green va culpabiliser les prêtres dans L'Exorciste ?
