Halloween II is simply one of the worst sequels/remakes I have ever seen. Rob Zombie had a very simple and successful template to work off of and still his version embodied all of the bad aspects of his prior work. The movie writing felt rushed and thus cheap. The overall way the story was told was thoughtless.

The one aspect that was incredibly annoying was the metaphor of the white horse symbolizing rage. He did this to write his wife into this movie. Never have I seen a more deliberate stretch of a story just to incorporate a meaningless character.

Also Zombie did NOT use the classic piano music or any of past pieces that defined this movie. Are you kidding me??? How can you have Halloween and not use this piece of classic music in a killing sequence?? That's not unique. That's not Zombie "putting his personal touch" on the movie. That's just plain stupid! Everything that made this series great from the music, the innocence of protagonists like Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis, the mask to the haunting sequences were gone. It was stripped of what made Halloween great.

All that remained was a 7-foot bearded man who occasionally wore a white mask with the mentality of a 7 year old following his dead mother with a white horse roaming around killing people. I think about how stupid that is and think how could Dimension allow this to leave the cutting room floor.

I saw it this weekend on a Saturday night at 8pm. It was a really pathetic draw, ~15 to 16 people in the whole theater. I hope that the financial failure of this movie will put to rest this embarrassing run of remaking the Halloween series.

I'm surprised that this movie got as many decent ratings as it has thus far. The story of this movie is simple. Humans are poisoning and killing the planet. Aliens are here to save mother earth from the stupid, evil humans. The premise is just absurd now as so many movies have taken up aliens and the environment. Putting the two together is just laughable.

Keanu Reeves outdoes himself (in a bad way) on this one with his embarrassing performance. Remaking this movie was such a mistake with this cast. The performances were indicative of what it really was...another big paycheck for a zombie-like meandering on a Hollywood set.

Well movie making has just gotten worse with the introduction of WWE/F films force-feeding these untalented group of wrestlers onto the world of cinema.

With that said, this movie exemplifies the above statement. This movie is ALL marketing and delivers absolutely none of the goods. A WWE wrestler by the name of "Kane" stars in this waste of experience. This may be the only example I can think of that the "star" does not have any words, just a random set of moans and sounds.

The acting is awful. The prisoners carry cell phones, have designer clothes, are well groomed and relatively decent/good looking people. Completely aiming at MTV/WWF audience, WWE has produced a film that should do OK in its opening week, but will fade off into nothingness, exactly where it belongs.

The only reason why this movie gets any high marks is because of WWE/wrestling fans. Nothing more. I only witnessed this headache because of a wrestling fan. I'm the idiot for that and take full responsibility. Never again. Never again will I go pay to see any WWE film. Ever! Save your money and time. I'm upset at myself for giving Vincent McMahon my $7.
