I thought this film had some great kills and definitely stood out when it comes to Halloween films by going down the route of the town forming a mob to hunt Michael. Every time Michael was on screen I was enjoying myself. It's the middle of and when it's one continuous story, usually the middle chapter isn't the best (Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 are stand alone stories, so this is more comparable to say The Two Towers arguably being the weakest LOTR film, even tho that was still great, just compared to the beginning and end though). The thing about Halloween movies is they only work because the people are so damn stupid. Like some really laughable parts of the film were the beginning... in such a short time period, young Hawkins showed us how he's the worst cop of all time. He shot at Michael and of course missed terribly and then didn't even follow him the direction he went... and then in the house he shot his partner that Michael was strangling instead of getting closer to Michael and just shooting him that way. People either stand so far away they can't shoot him (everyone is just terrible with a gun) or they get so close that he's able to just reach out and grab them. The second time is the black woman dressed as a nurse shooting at him, and at this point it was like they were parodying horror films. I mean her shots were so off it wasn't even funny, but was.
I can see how people might be rolling their eyes at the ending. I sort of was. I mean he's just invincible. I think they're going the supernatural route that like Halloween 6 went... but David Gordon Green still says he isn't supernatural... I don't know. I mean I feel like the only way to actually kill him is to chop his head off like Laurie thought she did in H20. All I know is I'm definitely seeing Halloween Ends as I'm very curious how they'll wrap this up. Apparently there's a 4 year time jump between Kills and Ends so it'll catch up to the current year it's releasing in (as if that matters). I'm guessing both Laurie and Michael die in it, and Allyson lives. Or maybe Allyson is given the opportunity to end Michael but has to sacrifice Laurie too to do so or something like that... might make for an interesting finale. It seems like the only recurring characters left are Laurie, Allyson, Lindsey and Hawkins.
