I just got home from seeing this and I'm conflicted.I really liked the "li'l mikey" portion of the film. His family was very midwest white trash Illinois. I should know, as i swear that was MY stepdad in the Myers house. The language was spot on for the family. I enjoyed his torturing of animals, because that what serial killers do! Most psychopaths start as animal killing socipaths. It just fits. I enjoyed the moments in the asylum, but i wanted more. a couple interviews and one murder didn't quite satisfy my thirst for more of Dr. Loomis's efforts to reach Michael.I hated how they flashed forward from child in the asylum to adult, but I loved his escape. What bothered me, though was the girls. I did, however like the way Zombie tried to parallel the "walk homw" scene by having them overuse the word "totally". The end was long and too drawn out for me. After Loomis shoots Myers, the movie is over. PERIOD. The rest was unnecessary. I actually started to get bored.I disliked how so many of the lines and famous speeched were ALMOST ver batum, but then slightly altered.But, all in all, GREAT mask EXCELLENT violent kills. I'll buy the DVD.
