Summary: My thought on Michael myers new movie
Review: Michael Myers Resurrection is a good movie but there are
some parts that are not good. It had good scenes but I think
when Jamie Lee Curtis dies early that what make the movie messed
up.I wanted her to stay alive so she can stop Michaelfrom killing. But when she dies early it was a
good movie after she dies. But when Busta Rhymes was in
the movie I wanted to see him go face to face with Michael. so
that was a good part in the movie also the movie was
still scary as always so that was good. Also when they try to do a project in Michael Myers houses. I thought they bwere all going to die because they did not know Michael was still alive
and they didn't know he lives there still. There are parts in the movie that can make you jump. So I give Michael Myers Resurrection four stars out of five.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Beguining Horrible Plot
Review: The first part of the movie gives a great beguinning. Laurie finally gets whats comming to her. After that the movie gets pointless!! Why did they have this plot of the whole Dangertainment-Online thing? I hope that this is a stepping stone for the next movie. Like he came home from killing his sister to find a few ... kids in his house. Anyway dont buy this movie rent it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing.
Review: H20 wasn't bad but Resurrection leaves a lot to be desired. However, if you liked the movie, then you'll like the DVD. Doesn't contain as many special features as originally planned. Still there's enough to keep you busy. But it's all down to whether you liked the movie. I didn't, so the DVD special features didn't mean a lot to me. But if you liked the movie, you'll LOVE the DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Disgrace To Halloween Fans
Review: This movie was horrible. I now understand why Jamie Lee Curtis wanted her character to be killed off in the first five minutes. Halloween H20 should have been the end of the Halloween series. This movie was a joke. Who ever cast this movie should be fired...Busta Rhymes was a poor choice. Dont waste your time or money. I love Jamie Lee Curtis but this movie was a disgrace to the series and a big letdown to Halloween fans.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not As Good As Halloween H20
Review: Why was Halloween H20 the best sequel besides Halloween 2?Simple because Lori Strode was the main character. In the television spots for this movie Lori Strode appears to have some great scenes and looks like she will be good throughout the entire movie. She would be good if she were not only in the first 10 minutes. The first 10 minutes are great but after that it shifts to this live webcast of a bunch of unknowners who you can care less about and it is obvious that Sara will be taking over Laurie Strode's place. The entire webcast is very predictable. Do not be surprised if they are in the making for another Halloween movie ;)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best, but not the worst....
Review: Lets face it...the only reason we all even went to see this movie is because we thought Jamie Lee Curtis was the star of the show. I have to say I was very dissapointed when she died. Now it seems like Michael is killing for no reason at all. The whole movie I was just wondering who these characters were and why they were being put into a Halloween movie. Maybe if there's going to be another one (which judging by the ending of this one there might be), we'll find out some suprising news about one of the characters like we did in Halloween II. Overall the acting was decent, the plot was ok, and it had some scary moents in it. It keeps your attention long enough to make it through, but once is enough for me. It by far wasn't the best Halloween movie, but it wasn't the absolute worst either. My advice is to rent it and see if you like it first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Franchise Resurrected!
Review: So what do filmakers do to keep the Halloween franchise going? They try new ways of exploring an all familiar theme. It can be very difficult to like this film considering there is a string of other ones (of much the sameness) to compare it to. However, if you look at this film for its own merits you will see it is actually a well directed, stylish and thrilling take on an ongoing saga.

Rick rosenthal from Halloween II is once again at the helm in this sequel. Much like H2 This film begins with some sequences that appear as a homage to H2. We are following the viewpoints of the villian as he chases Laurie strode down hospital corridors and onto the roof top for some suprising conflict resolution. In the first 12 minutes Rosenthal uses shadow, colour and sound as an affective way of building suspense. Curtis, despite giving a short performance, actaully makes the viewer wish that perhaps this sequence was a little longer as the integrity of the story owed much to the tension between the Strode character and that of Myers.
The rest of the film takes the story back to the myers house for a new take on halloween. Here are some crazy Blair witch video angles and some nasty frights to entertain the viewer, but, don't expect startling plot revelations like in the original or H2. What works here is Rosenthal juices up the Myers character by giving him much more scenes, newer ways of being viewed(points of perspective), and has the new actor playing myers develop a body gesture throughout the film that is both frightening and a little creepy, thusly, keeping with the established style of one and two. In fact Myers has been given so much personality in this film (despite being mute)it makes the(at times)bland acting of the other actors seem forgivable. Now its is interesting to note that if the deleted scenes were indeed included in the theatrical release the character developments would have been more interesting. Fortunately the DVD version has these scenes in the special features menu. If you can piece the deleted scenes back into the film you would find this a more convincing flick.
What also works in this sequel is there is clever homages to Halloween 1, 2, and H20 as Rosenthal manages to give us some action and suspense sequences remiscent of ones that seemed to work in the other Halloween films. This kind of self reflexivity is cool! Did I mention the music. It contains the familiar Carpenter music, mixed in with some violins that sound like screaming cats, still, its effective( But, I thought the orchestral version in H20 was better).Do buy this film for excellent direction and cinematography. Also buy if You want a more creepy portrayal of Myers. I would have given this film five stars if not for two reasons: 1. loses half a star for getting rid of the films most crucial character. and 2. loses half a star for not establishing the new heorines role thoroughly. Despite this see the film for a clever and stylish thrill. Bring on another sequel!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring and Very Predictable
Review: There is only one unpredictable thing about this movie-Laurie Strode finally gets killed. The rest of the movie is made up of boring plot and extremely bad acting and screenplay. I give this movie an F. It is a disgrace to the Halloween series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The scariest movie of all time.
Review: Oh my gosh this movie was so scary my sister and my 2 twin cousins were so scared that they didn't even want to go upstairs incase micheal myers was there.This movie is about a sereial killer who is back in his hometown and this time kills 6 visitors or teenagers who were going to spend the night in his childhood home.Only one was left and she came out alive.The end was so scary.My favorite or the part that scared me the most was when Micheal Myers chopped of a blond girl's head and that head rolled from the stairs.This movie was so scary that I barely got any sleep.I think this is the scariest movie i have ever seen!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary and Intelligent - Rosethal knows what he is doing
Review: "Halloween: Resurrection" was the directed by Rick Rosenthal and it shows, the clever use of camera angles, lighting and set pieces all goes in the films favour, also Rosenthal's complete accuracy on the Myer's house is pleasing to see. The characters are a breath of fresh air also.

Every element in the movie is in the right place. This is far more intelligent than people might think, but the key element that does stand out is the sense of realism, Rosenthal pulls the right strings. Such as the spine tingling score, the unhuman faced mask of michael is accruate to that of the original. he also pays homage to his own movie "Halloween II" and Steve Miner's "H20" (not to mention John Carpenter's "Halloween").

This movie puts many previous "Halloween" sequals to shame. Alot of thought was put into this movie. It's the best sequal yet.
