DrYuya 10/22/18 10:05:02 AM #1:	I mean...it got to the point where I'd literally never even considered there was any possible way any of the movies in the series could be good. My mind had completely just assumed "bad" based on the title over and over and over and it was more or less just an understood fact that any movie under the "Halloween" brand was not going to be good. This went on for 40 years...why did it take Hollywood 40 years to make some decent movies using what is arguably one if the simplest concepts to get right (crazy slasher guy kills people)? --- It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of ass but still have plenty of bubblegum to chew at my leisure. <cite>DrYuya posted [p:910953287] in Why did it...

It has it's moments, but it's still significantly worse than the original. It is easily the best of the sequels, but that's not really saying much. <cite>rogerskg1979 posted [p:910962955] in Why did it...

Final Fantasy2389 10/22/18 6:51:01 PM #12:	Halloween II is an okay follow up so you're already wrong. And Halloween H20, while not the best, is enjoyable, at least for me. 4, 5 and 6 are bad and Ressurection isn't good but it gave us, "Trick or treat, motherf*er." So I'm okay with that. That said, I really like the new movie. --- Ha Ji-won <3 https://imgur.com/WsrLCO6 \| https://imgur.com/GNxSzQq \| https://imgur.com/PrYgCg6 <cite>Final Fantasy2389 posted [p:910980231] in Why did it...
