Just got back from seeing this, it was friggn great. A lot more emphasis is put on Michael in this version, it's by no means a straight remake, and definitely not that stupid tim burton "re-imagining" shit. This version seems to sum up everything that is great about the original series (as in 1, 2, 4, and 5) and expand on it. The body language, stealth, and perfect physical control of Michael are all perfect. One main difference between this and the originals is that Michael is not as stoic or blank. He rages through some scenes, including at least 4 bare handed kills, and basically ripping his house apart with his bare hands along with smashing through 3 doors and several windows.
I also noted (with glee) that the ladies he kills in this get it a lot worse than the dudes. Seems most of the guys go down in an instant, and every woman he kills has to crawl around drowning in her own blood for a bit. Maaaagnificent.
A horrible write-up because I don't know if anyone's actually into Halloween enough to listen to my psychobabble about this series but omahgah just go see it.
omgomg so excited to go see this tonight!
