Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not nearly as suspenseful as the original.
Review: I have always believed that the Halloween series should have been left at the first one, and perhaps H20 as a commemorative. This is Jamie Lee Curtis' last role before H20 (17 years after this movie). This movie relies more on really nasty murders (not just with Michaels knife) as opposed to suspense, and spine tingling terror of the first movie. I believe horror movies that go on suspense far outweight those that have to show graphically intense needles in eyes, people boiling to death, etc. These things can be done, but Halloween 1 did it with class. There is not the same class here. I believe it was going against the Jason movies at this time and of course we know those are absolutely nothing but plotless gore flicks. I give it two stars SOLELY for the fact they continue the plot by introducing the fact Laurie Strobe is in fact, Michaels sister.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just as good as the first one
Review: HALLOWEEN 2 picks up where part 1 ended: Lauri Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis still warming up her scream) gets sent to hospital where the unkillable Michael Myers returns to kill her. Part 1 did not have one drop of blood but this one has a little bit so if you agree with me ten this one should please you. I kinda like this film not just because it has more blood in it but also because it's a lot more funnier.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: So, So...
Review: The first was a classic. Even Rodger "I hate Horror" Ebert had to admit it. This is one you have to see if you're a fan of the series -- I mean you have to know what happened the rest of the night, right?? But the execution of the film was pathetic. The sharp sounds of the relentless original score is changed to a farty synth version. And all in all, it is just a generic blood fest. I think the only true sequels to the Original Halloween are this one, and the H20, but this is definately the weakest one of the three.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i think that it was a great movie.
Review: It was much better than the original.In part one there is hardly anyone getting killed...it was real boreing. But in part two Everytime you see Michael he is killing someone,and the way he does it in part two looks so cool...like when he slit the throat of the fireman at the end.It was GREAT!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A SO-SO SEQUEL TO A GREAT THRILLER.
Review: Okay I saw HALLOWEEN 2 and I wish I could report that it is as good as the original but it's not and here's why I think it isn't. First of all youn see micheal myers way too often which takes away the suspense too soon in the movie. Plus I felt that the supporting cast's acting left something too be desired as well it was horrrible. I felt that the only thing that saved this movie was DONALD PLESANCE and JAMIE LEE CURTIS'S performances in thier reprised roles from the first movie if they hadn't been in it this movie, it would have been disastorus so all in all I can't really recommend HALLOWEEN 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best of all the halloween movies.
Review: this movie has it all. it is leagues above the first. their is a whole lot more gore init, the scenes are very suspenseful. this makes the halloween movies above any othe horror movies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Halloween 2 was a good follow up to the original. No chills.
Review: I thought Halloween 2 was a good slasher film, but it lacks the suspense, chills. and overall feeling of the firdt film. The movie has some memorable scenes, but it's mainly just blood and gore, without any story. I htought it very interesting that you finally found out thay Laurie Strode is Michael Myers' sister. This is a good follow-up to the original, because it takes place right after thr first film ends. Gore fans rejoice, this should be a top pick for you. People looking for a really good, scary date movie, find your screams and chills with Halloween.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: better than the 1st....
Review: halloween 2 was much better than the 1st one. i liked the 1st one but it wasn't scary at all. this one was at least a bit scary. i have seen every halloween and this one is by far the best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More like a slasher pic unlike the original
Review: After seeing this movie I was left with the impression that it seemed like another movie that had jumped on the slasher movie bandwagon. Although it lacked the suspense of the original it was still very watchable. I say this film is more like a slasher pic as there is more blood in it than the original and it also came out in 1981 - the same year slasher pics really started to take off. I liked the way it continued from the end scene of Halloween 1. You could almost splice the two films together to make a massive movie. Overall I would say that this film still has some suspense in it and a few scary scenes but it just fails to live up to the original although this or possibly Halloween 4 is probably one of the best in the series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scariest Halloween film!
Review: Although Halloween 2 isn't as *good* a film as the first, and isn't as well made or didn't even have as much thought put into it, it's scarier than the first and more entertaining. Most people would say that this is the best of all the sequels, but I would say Halloween 4 is, but this one is still good. The whole hospital setting is very creepy, and so is the new, re-vamped music. I definelty reccomend it.
