John Carpenter should have wrote and directed this. Story lines were quite a stretch. After much anticipation, great disappointment. The movie Halloween 2 now doesn't make any sense with this story. I am glad I watched at home. The one thing I did enjoy is when Michael's mask is off and you can see how he has aged. Christ, he should be in his mid 60's, still in great shape. If I took a beating like that, plus a few gunshots and a couple stabs.... I would be dead.I hope "Ends" can save this one
