This movie would've been a lot better had they waited a year to tweak it and didn't have so many confusing plotlines. Why make Jamie mute, why kill Rachel, a fan favorite the way they did, what direction did they really want to go with the man in black?
With that said, it is a decent film. I've certainly come to appreciate it more over time. Good intentions, poor execution. Part 4 was only rushed due to the writer's strike and of course, the mistake of blond Michael in the school. It's better than 5, though. Clown cops, crying. I did like the gothic feel, the Myers house and Shanks as Myers himself.
I hated Nightmare 5, not many likeable characters, didn't care for Alice or Lisa Wilcox either, personally as the main lead. She was fine in 4. Seemed at that point they were reaching. Freeing his dead mother, using an unborn baby's dreams?
As for Friday, it gets a lot of grief for not having the real Jason, which pretty much doomed the franchise. 6 was excellent, but fans were still pissed about 5. It was okay, if pointless. Didn't further Tommy's story any as 6 ignored it anyway. Not many likeable characters and just death fodder. No real story progression.
But that's just my opinion.

I agree Halloween 5 had so much potential to be better than it actually is but that could be said about any film.
The reason why Halloween 5 is my least favorite is because it doesn't really have much that sticks out about it at least Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers as silly as it was at moments had a few stand out moments.
I adore Elm Street 5 it's whacky and insane but it's charming as-well.I hate most of the Friday the 13th films anyways so yeah Part 5 didn't work for me.
