I\'ve read this thread in and out and I see all of the mixed opinions pertaining to this movie, however I have to agree with most that I think it\'s a mistake to do this, re-imagined or not. I know it\'s not a remake, but he is doing nothing more than stealing certain key elements of the original and then putting his own spin on it, which is what I would imagine a this process to be, but he\'s changed so much of the character that it\'s not the character anymore, not in the least.
Even if he changed every aspect of the movie except for one, I would expect the one aspect left to be Michael being silent, because as it was said in quint\'s article....otherwise he\'s just another killer in a mask...nothing special at all. Michael was the kind of evil that made you look under your bed at night and made afraid to be a teenager. He was a boogeyman. This version of Myers is just a pissed off mental patient that just wants to kill, because he didn\'t get to while he was locked up.
This Myers seems to be waiting for his release from the hospital and nothing more. The Myers we know waited for one night only, and he made his move when he wanted to. Our Myers was on a mission, this Myers seems like he\'s more on prozac than anything else. I wouldn\'t call it a mission though
