Review of Halloween (2007) by Jimmyg. — 07 Sep 2007

Better than most are giving it, probably because they are too much in love with the original. This one is scary, more intense, and just all around better IMO...but then again I was born in 85 so when I eventually did get to see the original Halloween, I was pretty old and the movie looked like it had aged a lot.

This doesn't take away that I still like the remake more. This Myers isn't a pansy that walks slowly towards you and cuts you a couple times. He brutally grabs you and stabs you over and over.

Every time he is on screen he is intimidating due to his size and knowing that he is going to kill everyone else on screen with him....and he does just that. I don't need build up to something that I know that he is going to do, just do it! It's more-so entertaining to see how he does it and how his victims try to get out of the situation.

My only complaint is some of th deaths were too much alike. Myers would stab them and they would try to crawl away and he would kill them as they crawled. Other than that, the look of the film is fantastic and the loud fast music was great.

I only would of liked to see a little less time on kid Myers and some dialog that didn't have cusswords every 2 seconds (but this problem was only at the beginning).
