Saw Halloween (1978) for the first time tonight.

Honestly, i think Halloween (2007) is better.

but i will say the 2007 movie fizzles out some later into the movie which is mostly when it turns into a slasher as i like how it focused around em as a kid and when he was older and locked away etc but not long after he escapes it's mostly just a slasher movie then and loses steam because of it.

-Halloween (1978) - 5/10 (Thumbs Down)
-Halloween (2007) - 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up)

i realize i am in the minority though it seems.

p.s. but in general... it makes me wonder if some people praise the first movies of random movies like Halloween etc etc purely because it's the first movie as i think some people automatically dis remakes no matter how good they are, especially if they sorta grew up with the first one. i think True Grit (2010) is a pretty good example of this as the 2010 remake is clearly all around better than the 1969 movie (for me it's 2010 = 8/10(within my Top 62 movies), 1969 = 4/10(below average)), at least in my mind, as it's got a overall better cast and more visual flair etc but some people are probably huge John Wayne fans or something and maybe that's enough for them to swing in the 1969 movies favor but to me that movie is pretty dull/empty as it's missing something that the 2010 movie has which i just tend to get strong emotions from it. just some thoughts
