Just saw it


Jesus its bad. Like what I imagine Halloween 6 to be like (not seen it but hear its the worst one and total WTF mess. Then again Halloween 8 got to be the absolute worst of the franchise right?)

Halloween 2018 I saw at the cinema (only HW i have gone to cinema for), was pretty good for a return of MM/JLC as one could imagine/hope for (despite H20 having already done it 20y ago). and had insane box office (the reason it got turned into an impromptu trilogy)

Kills I think lots of ppl didnt like or something but I actually thought was quite enjoyable when finally saw it on dvd last halloween (like Halloween on crack)

But this..omg what an absolute piece of shit! (id heard it was bad but I'd heard Kills was too and was half impressed so figured this be similar - was a 'blind buy' on dvd like i did with Kills) Right from the start I was like WTAF are they DOING?! Focusing on this new nerd character no bearing on whats come before AT ALL (like the way Matrix 3 focused on the various no namers, or the way Alien 3 or Blade 3 fcuked up the 2 previous films, or even the original Halloween 3 - think they even have the same H3 title font?) and then the end MM v Laurie showdown so predictable (almost like a repeat of H20),

Omg no wonder fans are going spare over this 'finale.' I feel for all ya

It's truly the pits. The worst of the franchise (I haven't watched Rob Zombies Halloween II in forever but I can't imagine it's any worse than this).

Its crazy that a series that started out so well (with the 2018 film) could mess up the finale so bad , the last time anyone f***ed up a trilogy so bad was Spiderman 3 (and before that Matrix 3)

If we are talking about Sam Raimi's Spiderman (I have lost count with these endless reboots), SM3 was quite ok. And so was Matrix 3. I'll probably see this Halloween Ends for myself before jumping to conclusions. OTOH, Halloween 2018 wasn't anything special, so we clearly have different taste in movies.
