Summary: Needless sequel is just a run-of-the-kill slasher flick
Review: John Carpenter said it best..."there was just no story left to tell."This money machine's opening overlaps with the first film's closing, picking up where it left off...with Dr. Loomis still chasing shadows as Michael stalks the nearly catatonic Laurie Strode through the halls and basement of the darkest, most deserted hospital you'll ever see. The cat and mouse style of the previous entry is discarded in favor of bloody 'weapon of the moment' murder sequences and the viewers frustration level at waiting for the movie to get truly nail bitingly scary like the first one was will be almost as high as the body count. The only things I can recommend about this DVD are the nice widescreen presentation, Dean Cundy is an excellent cinematographer, and Carpenter's wonderful music score. There are zero real extras on the Goodtimes disc and why is that? No trailers even? But the menu is scored with the Halloween theme and there are some neat little production notes offered, which is nice, if not particularly interesting. Recommended only for the most die hard of slasher fans, those seeking real suspense and scares are better off sticking with the first Halloween.

Summary: Possibly the best of the sequels!
Review: Warning-some spoilers ahead.This is most likely the best of all the sequels.It's not quite as good as the original,but it comes darn close.It's just as scary as the first,and there was one vital ingrediant that the first film lacked-blood and gore.It's plentiful.Serrated kitchen knife shoved into neck,eyeball gouged out with needle and throat slit with scalpel.VERY graphic.There are some interesting things you can learn about Mike's past as well.The special FX are pretty good,such as the scene where the car crashes into the kid and the end battle sequence.The plot is great and the story and script above-average.Dick Warlock is awesome at playing Myers and is possibly the best Shape to date! Mike's mask is also very cool looking and even creepier than the mask from the first film.Overall,a fantastic sequel that comes darn close to being as good as the first.Buy this and the first movie and watch 'em both alone in the dark.If you dare! Rated R-contains gory violence,brief nudity and some bad language.

Summary: Good for a sequel
Review: Many horror movie sequels arent even worth watching,but this one is an exception. It takes off right from where the first one left us and immediatly kicks into the murder and mayhem that Micheal Myers is good for. They take Laure to the hospital for her wounds and Micheal follows them to the hospital with Dr Loomis hot on the trail. This film has all the suspense that the first one had ,but it just didnt have that scary atmosphere to it,the first one was a very dark film,the second one is shot in a hospital which is scary in itself, but not like the dark streets of Haddonfield. This movie had a little more violence it it than the first one and a little more profanity. Rated R for mild violence, strong language,A scene of sexuality,and partial nudity

Summary: Promising sequel!
Review: This really is an entertainingly promising sequel to the original. Its not as good as John Carpenter's original. But that doesn't mean its bad or its not a promising follow-up. I will always highly praise the alternate camera angle, where Michael Myers is shot of the balcony. Also the picture quality is alike the original. There are some genuinely scary scenes. I once thought that it perhaps took too much time in the hospital, but I like it now. Because it gives the movie a very creepy sense of claustrophobia. NOTE : John Carpenter supposedly directed some scenes.

Summary: Halloween II is nothing but gore
Review: Sorry. When I saw this movie, I thought it would be good, like the first Halloween movie. It was disappointing. When Michael is supposedly left for dead at the end of the first movie, he comes back and finds that Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) is staying at a nearby hospital and comes for revenge. When he gets there, he proceeds to kill almost anybody (except Laurie, Dr. Loomis, and Laurie's friend). This is had practically no suspense, except Michael jumping out of the shadows to murder somebody who gets in his way. Rated R for language and violence-related gore.

Summary: Better than the first one.
Review: This movie came on USA along time ago on Halloween night and I thought it was awesome. It was alot better than the original. That was pretty cool by the way they had the ending of the first film in the beginning of the movie that was cool. If ya'll haven't seen the third one yet, DON'T! The third one does not have Michael Myers in it. I don't know why. The third Halloween movie is suppose to be called Season of the Witch not Halloween 3 ... I don't know why they came up with that title. I would stick with Halloween 1,2,4,5,6, and H20.

Summary: MEDIOCRE SEQUEL
Review: As an avid horror fan, I truly believe that HALLOWEEN is one of the greatest and most influential horror flicks ever created. It jump started the whole slasher genre, in which many have tried to duplicate its terror and ingenuity. However, none have ever matched up with it. Three years later, John Carpenter and Debra Hill wrote (but had no input in directing) the sequel, which does indeed do something quite creative: taking place EXACTLY where the first one left off. I have heard most HALLOWEEN fans call it the second half of part one. I have even heard HALLOWEEN fans refer to it as the superior flick. However, I tend to disagree. While this horror movie does a decent job at sweeping off the dust that the first one left, it does not rank up there with the first. The first HALLOWEEN was low-budget, therefore unable to perform bloody special effects. Much like THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2, the sequel to HALLOWEEN induces more gore and more deaths, simply to satisfy the title of being a "slasher" flick than the actual movie. Expect some mild sex and tremendous slaying. I do admire the slayings taking place in the hospital, though. Don't ask me why, but I thought that was rather interesting for the Shape to follow Curtis all the way there. HALLOWEEN 2 does bring back Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleseance, who both do fine at reprising their roles. The supporting cast is only there for the slaying, most of them the staff at the hospital. I do give HALLOWEEN 2 props for having a satisfying climax and good eventual twist to the story. This is basically it: HALLOWEEN 2 should be viewed by the fans who liked the original. You may like it more, you may like it less. If you like it less, it'll succeed in making you appreciate the original even more. But all I'm saying is that HALLOWEEN 2 is far from memorable. Not the worst horror sequel, but definitely not the best.

Summary: An entertainment sequel.
Review: Director Rick Rosenthal did a good job making this sequel. John Carpenter didn`t have to direct this sequel, he was so busy with Escape From New York and The Thing, between 1981 and 1982. Written by Carpenter and Debra Hill, also they written the original. (...) They should be a Director`s Cut from the Sequel and Anchor Bay Entertainment should this Director`s Cut. Grade:A-. Panavision.

Summary: This movie ROCKS!
Review: Michael continues his night of murder and mayhem as he follows his sister to the hospital and kills some more teens along the way. A great sequel picks up the pace by including a lot of great kills. Unlike the first one, it's not boring at all. It's more like a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie. Popcorn, pepsi and pizza.
