Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

Rating:
Summary: The best one yet!
Review: THE STORY: At the end of 4, Michael fell into a mine shaft. However, as the police were about to blow it up, Michael escaped and got washed down a river. He landed in a mountain man's house, where he was in a coma for about a year. When he wakes up, he kills the mountain man and tries to find Jamie, who is at a hospital after stabbing her stepmother. She is in shock, can't talk and for some reason, can predict Michael's next move!

MY THOUGHTS: Why does everybody hate this!!? I loved it. The kills are fresh, and the story I loved. People say that Michael's mask looks funny in 5. Looks the same. I also got the Limeted Edition Tin, which is a very good value.

Summary: 2.5 Stars! Average Movie!
Review: There were certain elements that were good that could have been expanded upon, but it lacked a charged atmosphere. Worth a look if it is on television.

Summary: Not the best but awesome!
Review: Crap. I did just watch this. If only the Patriots had even showed up in Pittsburgh, I would not have felt obligated to channel surf and land on this roasting turkey, so fowl it still had its tail feathers embedded. But--like watching a train wreck, or a bad blind date ending up in a mud wrestling challenge--I followed this flick to its vacuous, brain-bashing ending.

If only I had the presence of mind to walk away to clean the bathroom, or de-lice the dogs. Or go back to the Patriots-Steelers game.

Nope, instead I suffered: suffered through a moronic plot, a stale and pale reincarnation of slasher/bad-guy Michael Meyers (who wore out his welcome after chasing Jamie Lee Curtis in the first 'Halloween' massacre), screaming munchkins--even watched as an aging Donald Pleasence was gassed up and propped up to limp and rant through another easily forgettable performance. (Donald? How many of these sequels have you been in? Have you used up your 'frequent flyer' miles?)

Forget about the characters: they're as inconsequential as they are unmemorable. And I've already forgotten the story as I type: What the heck am I reviewing? Well, one thing's for sure: I haven't reviewed anything worth a passing fancy of popcorn flatulence.

Summary: An okay movie.
Review: Honestly, I didn't enjoy this one at all. I thought some of the acting could have been better.

Summary: Halloween: The End
Review: I would have given this unbearably pathetic crud-fest two stars but Michael Myers failed to accomplish his main goal: to wipe out that screeching, hollaring, slobbering child actress whose relentless shrieking of the word: "TINA! TINA! TINA!" will echo in your memory for years to come. Sometimes Danielle Harris, the little girl, resembled a dummy, as the camera froze on her face. Then, somehow, she would start to twitch, moan, roll her eyes, and go into a full-fledged fit of weeping, moaning and gasping. She was only equalled by similar antics of that old hambone, Donald Pleasance. His identical gestures, when he grabs the child and demands that she remember something, are strangely alike. I can see the director now, screaming: "Show more emotion! Give us more ham! Roll your eyes more! Slobber and mutter more!" In this movie, Michael dies about fifteen times. I finally lost count. He was shot and run down by a car and burned up and beaten over the head with an axe and stabbed and pushed down stairs and crashes through windows--but you know how it is with Michael Myers. A good monster is hard to kill. One final nightmarish flourish at the very end: just before we're finished, the camera moves in on our shrieking little Joan Crawford. She's finally settled down and looks very mournfully at the camera and she says something like: "I don't think he died." Uh oh. That means--that means more--"TINA! TINA! TINA!"

Summary: Possibly the Most Underrated Film of all Time!!!
Review: Why are people so insane and critical about every little thing in every film? How many times have you personally heard people bash a film on the basis of high expectations? There is no number high enough to even begin to reach the amount of phlack that films get from some of the stupidest people you'll ever meet. Sometimes, I wish there was no such thing has preview trailers, television spots, and people expressing what doesn't need to be expressed.
So is the case with "Halloween 5:The Revenge of Michale Myers." The first 'Halloween" film was an unexpected success. People flocked to it on the basis of small coments and reviews: "brilliant, smart, too real to beleive." But, as a matter of fact, these same reviews had previously called it everything besides those three comments and any sensible word that Webster can think up. So my question of the day: should we delete these beautiful things we call reviews?
Sure, it's great that everyone gets an opinion. Without that fact, I wouldn't even be able to be writing this now. But sometimes I wish that people either weren't allowed to read reviews before watching films. I beleive people should go into a movie theatre with an open mind and sense of what they're saying.
Obviously, the other reviews failed to realise this fact when writing their desription of the fifth film in the "Halloween" series. It is not the best film ever made which seems to be the standard these so-called reviews made when judging this great film. I love little Danielle Harris and the up-and-coming Ellie Cornell. Donal Pleasance is at a great peak, and the script is wonderful. End of story.
Sure, this isn't the best, but it's not supposed to be. So, I've given this film a five on it's content and everything therin.

Summary: This story continues and Michael Myers gets revenge.
Review: Rated "R". Only allowed to see this if you are 17 years old or older. Not for children to see. Includes nudity and sexual situations, voilence and gore.
Don Shanks plays "Michael Myers" this time around. Don Shanks is best remembered as the Indian in "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1976), the movie and the tv series (1977-78).
Donald Pleasence returns as "Dr. Sam Loomis". Danielle Harris returns as the terrorized girl "Jamie". Ellie Cornell continues as "Rachel". Karen Alston is briefly seen as "Mrs. Carruthers" in new footage and Beau Starr continues as "Sheriff Ben Meeker".
The movie continues with the same night showing you how Michael Myers escaped his fate ( not shown in previous film).
Then the film forwards to one year later as we see Jamie in the Haddonfield's Children's Clinic. Her nightmares are horrid. In fact, she can see what Michael Myers is doing. Jamie is unable to speak.
Michael wants revenge and is going to kill several more people.
Don Shanks also played the mysterious character of the man in black.
The next "Halloween" films are:
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later (1998)
Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
Halloween 9 will be released October 31, 2005.
