RZ Halloween II - Well I'm not really sure where to begin, as this movie does some really great things, but at the same time, it does so much wrong. First off, I will say that the movie was not as bad as I initially thought it was last year. It does have an interesting premise of showing Laurie's life after Michael and how messed up she is from it. Unfortunately, this movie really should have been called Hoboween as Michael is just that, a hobo. I also do not like how they have him making grunt sounds whenever he kills someone or has him talk. Another issue is the timeline is all messed up. In the first one, it says 17 years have passed after Michael's mom killed herself but now it says 15. That just does not make sense. Nor doe this new kid even pull off young Michael. His mannerisms are completely different from the last kid and he does not even try to act messed up. He is just there. Nevertheless, the biggest problem with this movie is that it is just way too damn long. There was no reason for it to be 2 hours when 90 minutes would have just been fine. In fact, if they were to cut out every scene with Sheri Moon in it, along with the pointless kill run at the Red Rabbit (which for some reason I thought had Michael setting the place on fire), that would probably fix all of the movie's pacing issues. Other than that, this movie is still terrible, but it could be worse. As such, I'm going to give it a 2/10 because it is just slightly better than Resurrection, but Michael has been humanized way too much to give it anything higher.
