This movie does not live up any true Halloween fans' expectations. The mindless gore while a great add-on does not salvage the fact that the movie was terrible. Michael is no longer the slowly strolling killer that we all know and love but instead comes fast, out of nowhere, thrashes the person and disappears. If it were not Michael up on the screen it may have ok, but to change how Michael kills is to change the very core of the movie. Another terrible flaw is Loomis. Without spoiling much, lets just say Loomis's attitude towards Michael is completely different than it was. New Loomis sucks. Perhaps the worst offense of all is that Zombie said the movie would be all about psychology and character development. There is no serious attempt at this in the movie. I'm all for the first remake. It succeeded in going deeper into Micheal's psyche. This second remake tried to take the series in new direction said Zombie. Instead of changing it he butchered it and Halloween may not recover.

ROB ZOMBIE NEEDS A SERIOUS ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE ATROCITY NAMED HALLOWEEN 2! THE MOVIE HAS NO PLOT! SHERIE MOON ZOMBIE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ACT IN MOVIES! HALLOWEEN WAS AND STILL IS THE STANDARD FOR HORROR FILMS, AND ROB ZOMBIE FELL EXTREMELY SHORT OF THAT STANDARD! THANKS FOR RUINING A CLASSIC

You guys are so dumb..... if you dont want to see this movie dont go see it, if you dont like remakes dont go see it, if you dont like rob zombie dont go see it, if you dont like micheal myers dont go see it!

I bet you hes the one laughing and your the one crying over 10 bucks...so haha... I love Rob Zombie and all his movies... i own all of them to so learn how to get that stick out your but and stop crying...

Rob Zombie seems to connect with my same views on where a story needs to take you. There are many reviews on Halloween 2 , however none of them focus on the fact that this is not supposed to be a remake to follow along with the old stuff, this is a remake to bring forth the true identity of Michael Meyers, and how it's very believable that a series of events can take over the mind of a youth whom only wanted a real family, and to feel normalcy , that couldn't happen for Michael ,,so , the man behind the mask is not truly who he is ,or even wants to be, it's who he one day let himself become, and now has to be. See this movie, and you'll see what I mean. Michael Meyers isn't evil, he's just a little boy inside, committed to what he once created in his mind that now has created him, good and evil are both a struggle of identity, ,in this case however, evil has a butcher knife, kinda hard to reason with evil right now. Go see it!

I am a huge Halloween fan from the original in 1978. I am also a huge Rob Zombie film fan and thought House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects was excellent. His remake of Halloween was bearable with some of the changes to the story neat seeing the story told slightly different. I don't know what Zombie was thinking with this. He seemed to change the ending of the first Halloween he did and 20 minutes into the movie, it's revelaed that your just watching a dream! I have no problem with telling the story different, but changing it as much as it was with all the super-natural bull****with his Mother was ridiculous!!! Not to mention, I can swear like a trucker, but all the swearing Laurie Strode did with her friends seemed fake and over the top. When my husband asked me how it was, I didn't even know where to start in explaining what happened. I'm hoping Zombie's next movie will get away from the Halloween stuff and go back to his brutal gore that he is so good at.
