I doubt I will like it, based on what I have heard.
Yet again, it seems like the people who made it missed the point of what makes the original so effective.

No, based on the trailers and other reviews I have read. Moviebuffbrad actually pointed out new dumb sounding things I wasn't even aware of. |

I hate that you make threads like these the DAY of the films release and expect to get a ton of responses. Most people have work and LIVES and cant get to the movies opening weekend, yet alone opening night.
Like calm down.

Yes
I see it more as a love letter to the entire franchise than an actual sequel to the original.
There are references to all of the more well liked sequels. It actually reminded me more of H20 and The Return of Michael Myers than it reminded me of the original.

Yes I see it more as a love letter to the entire franchise than an actual sequel to the original. That's certainly the best way to look at it. Ignoring the other sequels ended up being pointless because the film is constantly reminding you they exist by referencing and paying homage to them, and characters act like Laurie and her family are a big deal to Michael (though, to the film's minor credit, it's ambiguous if Michael himself actually gives a sh*t) so they might as well have kept that lame sister twist. The PTSD as well as the last 15 minutes are obviously very H20. I found the tone, however, in line with the Zombie film, if anything. Obnoxious characters getting offed in brutal ways by a Michael that feels more like Jason. |

Obnoxious characters getting offed in brutal ways by a Michael that feels more like Jason. I think the main reason they act like Laurie is a big deal to Michael is because she was the lone survivor and therefore linked to him in that way, but like you said Michael doesn't really act like he is there for Laurie. As soon as he makes it to Haddonfield he starts going after random people. But then again he does go to Laurie's house. That was one of the things I didn't like about it. How does he know where she lives, and if he isn't back for her then why would he even go there? I guess that's the only way they can have their showdown though. |

Maybe it's that Green is a much more skilled director, so this is what it looks like when you actually pull it off. Maybe that was meant as a shout out to Jason. I wouldn't put it past them. My biggest disagreements with you is about the humor and Michael's size. Most of the humor is handled very well imo and most of the time the way the scenes with Michael are shot his size wasn't even noticeable to me. However, his size is definitely noticeable in the opening scene. My biggest problems with the movie is the performances by Judy Greer and her daughter and I'm still not quite sure why this movie even exists. Maybe to get the bad taste of the last 3 Halloween movies out of people's mouths and end the franchise on a respectable note. I have a hard time believing that this will be the last movie in the franchise though because it practically works as a semi-reboot. I'm pretty sure the only part with Nick Castle is the scene where the camera follows Michael after he runs into the kids on the sidewalk. He looks a lot smaller and less bulky in that scene. |

They said that Nick Castle's only Scene as Michael Myers in the New Movie was a Scene with Jamie Lee Curtis. I think that it may have been the Scene where Michael grabs Laurie (who is trying to stab him) and tosses her off of the Patio and onto the ground below. |

I think they are lying or a third person plays him in the scene I mentioned. Maybe David Gordon Green or something. The scene I am talking about he moves exactly like Myers from the original and is more out of shape and smaller than the other guy. You can tell he is shorter by the kid's sizes compared to him. Maybe I am just crazy, but I think something seemed different about the actor at that part. |

Nick Castle, James Jude Courtney, and Tony Moran all play him in it. |

This Below is from the WIKIPEDIA (which I know is not always reliable) Page for the New " HALLOWEEN" Movie. "Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers / The Shape, the masked figure who stalks and kills teenage babysitters on Halloween night. Castle reprises his role in one scene with Curtis, and did all of Michael Myers' breathing sounds in post-production. Tony Moran portrays the character in scenes where he is not wearing his mask, also reprising his from the original film." |

It says on imdb trivia that Tony Moran was asked to appear in the movie, but he refused. |
