I've just seen the director's cut and this movie definitely turned into a buy for me. It flows so much better with the added in scenes. 

I saw the DC of this the other day (never saw the movie in theaters) and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It wasn't great, but it definitely kept me entertained and felt more like a real Halloween film than Zombie's first effort at one. I'd give this maybe a 6 or a 7/10, not sure for now.
I think it felt a little closer to the vibe of the original series, but it definitely had RZ's signature all over it. I still think some of the obvious white trash stuff was overdone, but not nearly as overkill to me as in his first effort.
RZHII actually made me appreciate his first effort more. For me, the first one definitely feels like a Halloween movie.
I need to rewatch the first RZ Halloween, but I remember not liking it at all, even though it wasn't as bad as I expected and definitely better than Halloween 5 and Resurrection put together. For some reason, I found myself enjoying RZH2 a fair bit. Even if I'm not overly fond of RZ's vision of Halloween/Michael Myers, he did a far better job of presenting it in this film, IMO.
