I’d like to know the detailed thought process behind this film. Like seriously. People actually wrote this film. Honestly blows my mind.
This folks, is called false marketing. This film was marketed as an epic showdown between two “main” characters. Noticed how I put main characters in quotations. It’s because neither of them were actually the main focus. At all. I mean hell, Michael is in it for a good 10ish minutes.
For some reason the writers decided to introduce a new character and have him be the main focus. Why now? Who is he? Why is he in this story? What relevance does he have? All of these questions are unanswered! What we get is a nice two acts of spending time with this character, really getting to know him. That’s great but isn’t this Halloween ends? A film that is supposed to wrap up 4 decades of a rivalry. It’s like the writers completely forgot about that until the last 15 minutes. I imagine them finishing the script and then saying. “Oh wait, we forgot about Laurie and Michael, we better write them in quick.”
Sigh. Double sigh. This is probably worse then Halloween Kills honestly. Halloween kills at least had kills… and Michael.
I’m just gonna pretend Halloween (2018) was the end. Because it should be.
