'H2', Rob Zombie's sequel to 'Halloween'

[deathshead2]

I demand they hire me right now!

You know what, if I was a struggling studio, who wanted to do a cheap film, make some money fast, and have a 3D film to boot.....I'd spend a few million on a team of 3D engineers (and this has proven to work) and have them render the original HALLOWEEN into 3D form. It'll take a year to do all the work, but it will work with today's new technology. They're about to release NOTLD in 3D, and from what I've read, it's suppose to look amazing.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Tbh, I'm not sure that that'll happen. I mean, how is Michael gonig to get a mask similar to the one he has/had (had meaning when he was a kid and the mask wasn't molded). Though, H4 did have him pick up a similar mask off the wall in the halloween store, so I guess it's possible.

Well if you think about it, I'm sure some sick twisted person would sell MICHAEL MYERS mask for Halloween in Haddonfield. Chett, The Bringer of Death would make and sell them.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

Oh, and if I directed the film.....I'd get Shawnee Smith to be in it.

 

[deathshead2]

I would think Chett would just take it off of Michael corpse and duct tape it back together.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, I have to say, the Chett idea isn't bad.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

I would think Chett would just take it off of Michael corpse and duct tape it back together.

I think Sherrif Brackett would make sure to have that mask burned or be a twisted soul himself and keep it in a box under his bed (like Debra Hill did)

I saw this movie on the night it opened, but now's when I'm getting around to posting my thoughts. I didn't think the first film (2007) was terrible. I didn't think it was great, but it was better than I thought it'd be. This one, though? Awful.

Spoiler

1. Laurie was so ****ing annoying throughout the entirety of the film that I was hoping Michael would find a portal to the real world and come after me.
2. I understand Mama Myers & the horse thing, but the amount of screentime the lady got was unnecessary.
3. This is a problem I had with the first movie: how did Michael know where to go and when? It seems he just showed up to places at random with no explanation as to how he knew how to get there, etc. I guess this is where the visions of his mother come in, but ****.
4. The way he showed up to places in this movie just didn't make any sense. Ok, you're at the strip club because? He showed up to that party on Halloween night killed Laurie's friend and the guy who was taking a leak and then...he left? So he shows up out of nowhere because 2 people were about to get it on and slaughters them because what, it's a requirement in slasher flicks? Ugh. Laurie was there, you know? You could have just taken her and dozens of others right then and there, but I guess your white horse GPS system was malfunctioning.

There were just very few bright spots in this movie. I liked how RZ did not make Michael some otherwordly being and showed how connected he was to his mother, him being beaten and ultimately dying, but the movie as a whole was bad. Plain and simple.

This gets a 2/10 in my book.

It doesn't matter it'll still get quoted. Plus I don't this there is much really to talk about. I mean besides from people just popping in to say it "sucked balls" And yes that is a actual quote from someone on here in the last few pages.

It's pretty stupid IMO that people actually discussing the film, in a positive manner, get called by other posters for "defending this garbage", but we try to defend ourselves, and some of us are getting warnings or infracted? What the hell? How is this fair, and is this a few forum policy allowing posters to Troll through whatever films we don't like now? I know you can say it's another posters opinion, but that only goes so far. There are at least 4 people earlier in this thread clearly trolling, and it's not anyone who has not already made a negative presence here already.

What a load of crap. Things like this really bring down my opinion of the Hype anymore...

Can someone summarize the last 13 pages for me?

Halloween 2 - Mixed reactions

zombie will NOT return to direct pt 3

 

[Nivek]

Don't forget the aggressive unabated trolling from some.

 

[CelticPredator]

There was no trolling, only people sharing their opinion. Jesus mother ****ing christ....

 

[Doctor Jones]

I think the studio is acting a little stuid here. Just because it made 2 million over its budget in one weekend doesn't mean people want to see another one. It made almost half of what the first film did opening weekend and the coming weeks will be a stornger indicator.

There are at least 4 people earlier in this thread clearly trolling, and it's not anyone who has not already made a negative presence here already.

Now, look here, there is a difference between being very vocal and downright trolling. I'm not putting any posters on the forum down, and I did point out the few things I appreciated about H2 (mind you, I loathe it). Maybe you should read some of the "troll" comments before you claim the naysayers are all "trolls" again...

If it comes down to it and they really need the money and start to go bankrupt you sure as hell can prolly tell they will. Look what happen to New Line and they were a way bigger studio then Dimension. i miss New Line.

New Line is still with us. We're only missing Shaye and Lynne, and the fact that WB doesn't use Mi Casa Multimedia for the DVD/Blu-ray audio mixing anymore. (Not to mention the dearth of the beloved "Platinum Series" DVDs.)

 

[CashforStash]

I thought this movie was pretty good, not as good as the first one though.

8/10

A "Naysayer" is one thing, we have all had negative views of some projects (G.I. Joe, Twilight series, and Harry Potter myself), and even films we we're disappointed in after viewing (Punisher: War Zone was a recent one for myself). But common courtesy and respect is to say your peace and move on. But here we have some that have been saying the same things over and over for a while before release, hitting the same one-note song for months on end. There was no anticipation except to damn it. I'm all for opinions and discussion, but it's another thing just to take a squat on something on a weekly basis, or just to rib a couple people.

I'm about done in this thread anyway, just this one thread has shown me a double standard at the hype I personally won't forget.

Now that would be interesting.

Ok. Then you come in, say you liked it, and then get the **** out. We dont need to hear your postive opinions all the time.

One post per thread then. Say what you want, then move on. Good or bad.

 

[Marx]

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Let's keep this civil and respectful.

How about this idea.....ignore each other, don't talk to each other, don't respond to each other.....and allow people to talk about the movie instead of talking about the people that talk about the movie?

 

[Nivek]

They are on ignore. Doesn't help when they are quoted and we still see them stirring the crap pot.

A Schumacher Halloween film would equate to softcore porn and everyone (guys and girls) running around shirtless.
