*SPOILERS AHEAD* After the chaotic mess that Halloween Kills was I had very low expectations going into this movie but I was not prepared for just how much of a disappointment this supposed final installment would be. Michael Myers, the malevolent unstoppable force of nature that we've come to know and love over the years has been reduced to a feeble old man hiding away in a sewer shaking like he has Parkinsons disease and at one point is easily overpowered and mugged of his mask by his scrawny protege (I guess?) Corey. Wow, that really makes me terrified of Michael Myers seeing him as a frail OAP. I'm surprised they didn't go the whole hog and have him defecate himself through old age induced incontinence. Michael does manage to get a couple of half decent kills in but overall this is a very lacklustre send off for such an iconic slasher icon. But to give credit where credits due the movie does deliver on it's promise, the death of Michael Myers. Personally I feel that Michael died two deaths in this movie, one by the bizarre creative choices of the writers rendering him a weak shell of his former self and his actual death by the hands of Laurie Strode at last. The movie certainly made a point of showing that Michael was truly dead by having the whole town of Haddonfield transport his corpse to the scrap yard and pushing his corpse into a car crusher. A definite end but one unbecoming of such an iconic character as Michael Myers so I surely hope that this really is the end for the Halloween franchise as I have no desire to see more at this point but I highly doubt it.
