I don't understand why this movie is getting rated so badly I loved every aspect of it.
The filmography was amazing, the acting was excellent, the storyline was like no other Halloween movie. I also don't mind that Laurie Strode wasn't a big part in it because I know they are saving her confrontation with Micheal for the last movie.
I also loved the flashback with Dr. Loomis at the start.I do think the gore was a little much at times (like with the inmate and big John) but it wasn't too over the top that it was unbareable.
Don't believe what you hear this is a great Halloween sequel and it's definitely worth a watch. I give it a 9/10.
