Just Got Back From Halloween

[FVJ Leatherface]

I saw the film Saturday, and...I'm really not sure what to think. I was actually really excited about this remake because it looked great in all the trailers and tv spots. I loved the young Myers scenes, even though they didn't last nearly long enough. I hated that Dr. Loomis' was introduced before the murders actually happened, and there were also a lot of wierd up close shots that didn't really fit in. The asylum scenes were really awkward, especially the senseless killings. Then when we cut to 15 years later on Michael's escape day we see this lurking giant, who breaks through chains and escapes from a bunch of guards with guns. The parts with Michael as an adult were pretty good, although they were entirely rushed, and absolutely no character developement was made. We literally just get introduced to the characters, and then in the next scene we get to see them die. The dialogue was extremely bad, and sounded completely stupid. We didn't see Dr. Loomis nearly enough, there wasn't any real conflict or confrontation between him and Michael.SPIOLER!!!I did really like the fact that Michael did not intend on killing Laurie until she stabbed him. END SPIOLERThe ending was OK, and overall I enjoyed the film. It just seemed like Rob Zombie wasn't sure how he wated the movie to look, almost as if he kept changing his mind throughout filming. I almost feel that if he focused more on either young Michael or adult Michael it would have been better. The scenes that were almost directly remade were really cool but almost just didn't fit in. If Rob would have just made his own film I think this would have been much better.
