Not really a bad movie, just not Halloween
Taken alone without the context of Halloween, this isn't really a bad movie. It has an interesting storyline exploring "evil," what causes someone to get there, whether its inherent or not. The problem is, it seems like someone took a completely different movie, stuck in 20 minutes of Laurie battling the Shape, and called it "Halloween."
The scenes with Laurie and Michael were actually pretty cool. They just came out of nowhere and dont fit in with the rest of the story.
My biggest takeaway from this, the entire trilogy was a money grab. If you took the first two thirds of the first in the trilogy, the last 30 seconds of Halloween Kills, and the last 25 minutes of Halloween Ends, it would have made a pretty awesome movie.
Instead, we got a bunch of nonsense and filler to stretch what should have been one really good movie, into three mediocre ones.
