You know at first I was in the same boat as you guys, and didnt really care for it. BUT after thinking about it all day, I actually enjoyed it. Granted, the remake WAS better, this one was still better than the Friday remake we got earlier in the year.SPOILERS!!Pros:-I liked seeing into Michael's psyche-It was somewhat realistic (him eating, what'd he look like after a year on the street)-Michael just wanted his family together again, even if it was in a sick way-He was somewhat normal as he walked around without the mask on (little kid on street) but SOON as he put on the mask it was full blown killer mode (rednecks in the field)-BRUTAL kills, you could feel his anger (this was also a con to me, some of it was just too brutal even for me)-Brad Dourif's Brackett, hands down the best character in the entire movie!Cons:-Little Michael(miss Daeg)-Cop out on how he survived a magnum bullet to the face, no info on that whatsoever. Was the end of the last movie a dream? Did he stay down in the pool? Did ANY of the hospital scene happen at all?-Pointless jumping around to kill random characters that didnt really need killingThats all I can remember at the moment, but I think I will actually go see it again and will most certainly buy it on Blu-ray when available.
