As much as this sequel is, yet again, another desperate attempt to recapture the original, it at least does a handful of things right. It's still bad, but it is never painful to watch and isn't as insulting as many of the other films with the name Halloween.

After struggling to get through 5 & 6, this is a breath of fresh air. I am not sure how to even properly parse my feelings for it, because my opinion is largely based on what it isn't than what it is.

Despite a higher level of stupid decisions than your average slasher movie, this is surprisingly patient and pretty solid stuff with a killer finale.

Despite Scream screening on TV on Halloween night, it is not self-referential at all, with the expected amount of nostalgia. Strode's trauma is still tormenting her -- and her only son -- as The Shape goes to California to find her, killing of Levitt in Illinois before leaving. Some flashy shots make the case for an attractive, but not fully rewarding reboot -- more a 90s teen slasher than just a really good slasher. LL's aspiring writer is a bliss. Strode chopping MM's head off, too.

Definitely on the lower tier of Halloween films, but the last one was definitely worse. It sucks to see Jamie Lee Curtis come back at a time like this, but overall, it's not bad. Actually Mike Myers actually feels really threatening and creepy in this one, and it actually can be pretty suspenseful. Not the worst of the worst.

Before I took my trip to the local video store, "Couch Potatoes" to rent the entire Halloween series to binge watch, my mother, so she didn't have to find a babysitter, took a 7-year-old me to see the new "Halloween" reboot-sequel in theaters. So despite this being post-"Scream"(1996), generic 90's slasher, full of "WB" teens, jump scares, and LL Cool J, ultimately the film, elevated by Jamie Lee Curtis, genre veteran Steve Miner, and the final act, makes for a fun nostalgic 90's slasher for me.

The first one since H2 (H4 kind of took a stab at it) that attempts to replicate the suspense of the original rather than just being shocking - to mixed results. There are some missteps, and it's definitely the safest, most mainstream-appeal entry in the series, but it's a step in the right direction for sure, especially since it completely drops the wacky 'lore' 5 and 6 focused on.

Denuded of horror, H20 has all the thrills of a Halloween attraction. The added out-of-place metaness of the 1990s mostly just grates.

Unlike the 2018 sequel this one not only has a lighter approach (the scenes w/ Janet Leigh are great winking fun) but it also acknowledges the sibling mythos & Myers' indestructible nature. This may make it feel more slight or cartoonish, but the heart of the story (Laurie grappling w/ the trauma & having to confront Myers) is just as gripping. The script is also tighter (less contrivances & less screen time devoted to characters who serve as fodder) & builds to a fantastic truly bad-ss climax.

I’m at a complete loss as to how I’m supposed to rank “Halloween H20”. There are a number of positives that place it above most other entries in the canonically confusing franchise, the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, the Michael we all know and love, all interesting stuff. And yet, for every great aspect, there’s at least two mediocre ones. I’ve seen 7 “Halloween” films and I’ll be damned if any of them have been even vaguely memorable aside from the first. More of the same.

I think, for many, this is the redemption of the series. Aside from the conclusion, the majority is fine which is better than bad (see parts 5 and 6). When Laurie goes full Sarah Connor I definitely enjoyed myself.

In the Halloween pantheon, H20 (like water, get it? Because I don't...) pretty much falls squarely under "doesn't suck." Jamie Lee reprises her role as Michael Meyers's sister...who I thought was supposed to be Michael Meyers, but actually isn't, but still could be him if you close your eyes, stomp your feet, and say LALALALALA really loud whenever anyone suggests otherwise. Poor-man's Liam Hemsworth--a.k.a Josh Hartnett--proves that we don't need to be Liam Hemsworth to get us some slasher sex.

As far as Halloween sequels go, H20 is probably above standard, but it suffers from the usual problems that befall slashers such as rote plotting, cheap scares and general stupidity. The premise isn't too bad, all things considering, and Miner keeps it moving with predictable efficiency, but there is no denying how tired it all seems. It would be almost too ironic to claim that the inevitable showdown between Strode and Myers doesn't meet expectations because the film inspires none whatsoever.

The script is not very inspired, there's too many jump scares and overall "H20" is not as suspenseful or atmospheric as the early films, but it does get a couple of crucial things right, namely: most characters are not idiotic but put their minds to use (and that includes the finale, which was a long time coming); also the stakes were really high regarding Laurie's first appearance and especially her first confrontation with Michael after all these years, and the issue was handled marvelously.

Top badass moment? Laurie Strode (a recovering alcoholic who still seems to drink an awful lot) manages to fake her own death and then sort out all the paperwork to become the head of a posh school. That's pretty amazing, although I admit I've never been pursued by a psychotic serial killer, so I'm guessing that's probably quite a motivator. Still, managing to 'reinvent' herself so effectively is pretty clever and clever is badass. 1 decapitation (one of the classics), no cats or chainsaws.

While watching the original Halloween I just couldn't stop rolling my eyes. Where is LL Cool J ??? H20 delivers. Every other scene contains a jump scare or someone who's career hasn't started or is dying.
