H20, even though i kind of dislike it because it breaks continuity, is far superior to this abomination. At the end of H20, you got the impression that this finally was the end of the storyline for Laurie's character and the way it is explained how Michael survived, is so poor and far fetched that it becomes evident that this project was pure milking. Now, every halloween sequel was a milking project, but it's a mistake to make it that obvious.
Rob Zombie's first Halloween was an excellent remake, which paid a great deal of respect to the original, while maintaining it's own style.
Ressurrection however, did nothing, zero, to further the original Halloween timeline. H20 broke it, and ressurrection destroyed it. My second problem with it was that Michael had no goal in it. He had finally killed his sister, and Jamie from H4-6 did not exist in that universe. What was left of his reason to live?

John was still out there, as hinted at by the picture of him on Laurie's room/s wall. Didn't know how to find him, though. As much as Halloween is about Michael and Laurie, it's also about the Myers House and Haddonfield. Delving into his origins for real this time, his upbringing, etc. was a great idea, but unfortunately it was all fake. That is where they missed the mark. That and yet again the poor casting for out of place hip, hot, young actors.

In the H1, 2 and H20 universe, we don't really know much about Michael's motives. All we know is that he's out to kill his sister. We don't know if it was important to him to take out the rest og his Family tree, and this film implies it wasn't. It became evident in the H4 - 6 universe that he wanted to wipe out his entire family, but that's a separate storyline.
