Damn Blumhouse, this actually doesn't sound half bad.

Zzzzzz.
If there had been no other sequels it may be mildly interesting but the ONLY novelty is the original guy returning, assuming they dont cheat and use someone else for the action.

That's exactly what they're doing. A stuntman is playing him for the physical stuff, and the original dude is gonna be doing the less involved stuff. I hear ya that it's nothing new, obviously that's true, but I do think it sounds pretty promising. And what is new is having capable filmmakers as the creative force behind the film. It's been a while since that was true in this series. Also, John Carpenter is writing the score. So that's cool. |

It's worse than I thought. Does that really make that much of a difference? Not having a AARP aged dude do every shot? He's, presumably, in a mask a majority of the time anyway. And it's not like he did every shot of the original. I get not being excited for this movie, but that detail makes little to no difference to me. |

Does that really make that much of a difference? What's the point of having him in it at all? It's not like the highlight of the original film was him removing his mask for two seconds at the end. It's just so ridiculous |

It's just so ridiculous That wasn't even him. They cast another actor just to be his face in the first one. Nick Castle is a weirder looking dude. But I don't really get the complaint. The purpose is just the fan service/publicity of getting all these original people together for the new one. But in terms of the end result I don't see how it's a negative in any way. If the issues one could have with this new movie, this one wouldn't even approach the bottom of the list for me. |

LOL That makes the first one or this one more ridiculous? Again, not reall6 understanding this complaint. Your initial complaints I kind of get. This one seems like an excuse to complain. |

That makes the first one or this one more ridiculous? This. Or both. Not sure. Shrug. Whatever case, too many trips to the well for me. I'll skip it. |

I think they might argue otherwise, but even so, I still don't see how that would be counted as a negative. In that case it's really just a non-factor. |
