Incredibly bad. It's hard to tell if it was the acting, the writers, or both. It was shocking to see what Hasselhoff has been reduced to. I waited 16 years to watch this; I should have waited much longer.

I am a huge fan of the Halloween franchise, and this was hands down the worst film with the possible exception of the Rob Zombie duo. This film had absolutely no redeeming qualities. Literally nothing good can be said of this film. There is absolutely none of the genius of John Carpenter, almost non-existent suspense, and superfluous gore. The flashback-type scenes almost give you whiplash and are difficult to follow, and their attempt to show what is presumably 'not seen before excerpts' from the original film simply miss the target. I think for folks who did not grow up living through the releases of the various films, the younger generation, perhaps their take is different. However, as someone who has seen multiple quality releases, to varying degrees, I can tell you unequivocally that if you have yet to watch this film, just don't. I waited 7 months to watch this thing, partly because the first Blumhouse installment was so so at best, but also because the vast majority of the reviews of this film were spectacularly bad. But oft times I disagree with the reviews. Not this time, the consensus was right on the money, and if anything the rotten tomatoes score on this one is far too high. To give you a frame of reference, Jason X was a better movie than this. Of course, if you just want to see sickening gore, and don't care much about the story line, or any of the films predecessors, then it may work for you. But then again, if that's what you're after, you'd be much better off watching just about anything from the Hostel or Saw series of films.

The 3 stars here is a round up. Almost a B-movie with Anaconda-like special effects, it has just barely enough star power, pace, and originality to keep it off that list. The story of course is ludicrous, but you can't hold that against a sci-fi flick.To be fair, that audience I imagine will find it compelling, but as someone who is not a huge fiction buff, it neither impressed nor totally unimpressed me. Fairly forgettable, but somewhat original.

Almost an outstanding series, David Kelleys incessant cast changes ultimately brought the series to a premature end. Seasons 1 and 3 were well above average, while season 2 stands out as the most exemplary season. Season 4 (and to a lesser extent season 5) could have easily been train wrecks , and came mighty close, but the series maintained just enough star power over these last 2 seasons to be considered acceptable - while not nearly what Kelley brought to the series in its first 3 seasons. If you're thinking about watching this series, the first 3 seasons are the ones you want to go for. You'll be wowed; but my advice to you is to stop there on a high note. There's just too many characters that you've come to know and love that get the axe after that.

Felt unnecessary and forced, and sad, but I have never thought any reunion show (chatting by the former cast) was worthwhile. Retrospectives remind me too much of the high school quarterback reliving his glory days. I would have been more interested in an actual friends reunion; they can still act right? Much like this review, I doubt it will be remembered for long.
