We want a movie that isn't a fucking remake by a POS director, apparently that is asking to much :starefreak:

I really don't give a fuck if it's a remake or not... just give me a flick that I enjoy and I don't give a damn.. There's not much left in the world that is an ORIGINAL IDEA... give me you're ORIGINAL IDEA and I'll either give you fifteen different examples of someone else who had the same ORIGINAL IDEA as your ORIGINAL IDEA or I'll steal it and it will be MY ORIGINAL IDEA! WOOOT!

Seriously though.. WTF do you want from a slasher flick?

"I want ORIGINALITY!"

Okay.. you want someone else with a different mask with a different weapon?

How original is that?

I haven't seen this flick yet, and I don't care if it rocks or sucks.. I just think the whole "REMAKES SUCK!" battle-cry is fucking retarded...

[steelba]

go see this POS shit then.

[WarBeast]

go see this POS shit then.

I fucking will... and if it entertains me then wooHOO! if it doesn't then I won't blame it on being a remake.. I'll blame it on being a shitty movie.

Exactly right. If a movie is good it's good. The remake phenomenon is not new. Hollywood has had the remake bug since it's beginning. (The WIZARD OF OZ that everyone knows and loves is a freaking remake.) Halloween 2 is a remake in that it has the same title and character, but otherwise it's an original film...and a good one at that.

Oz isn't a remake, its a feature length movie of a 13 minute short. Not exactly a remake.

I'm not referring to the 1910 13 minute film. I'm referring to the 1925 Larry Semon version which was the first real adaptation of The wonderful Wizard Of Oz. It clocks in at 93 minutes.

Some more thoughts.

Movie was a complete bore fest after about the first 20 minutes or so as others who did not like it have mentioned.

The movie completely unravels into a boring, uninteresting crusade of redundant kills (while intense compared to the first, they were repetitive in fashion much like the F13 remake which was a problem I had with that remake even though I think its a good F13)

Followed by burnt out Laurie and a Dr. Loomis that's completely unlikeable (even though it was a different idea) packaged together with a bunch of characters that all look like filthy trash and generally are unlikeable. I could live with whiny Laurie but the burnt out, bore fest shit that entangled her and the Myers family in general was just stupid.

I would agree that Rob tried to make his own 'Halloween' with this movie more so than the first but the problem is so many characters are just bleh and transparent that you could package their types in any other of his movies on top of all the other artsy hysteria really did not gel well in this movie at all.

As far as Sheri goes. I would not have a problem if it were mere flashbacks but the fact that they have her in this film in a more recurring role even if its for mere seconds at a time just came off as by the numbers when it concerns Rob's past work.

So I stand by what I said. I thought the ending was something that worked for me with the idea that it could provide something different for the series and by different I mean something that might be plausible in the context of the franchise even though I can understand why some people like what he tried to do with this movie.

The man needs to either give up some creative control in his movies or stop making movies because im not sure he can get better with the way he constructs his movies.

2/10

the more I think about it, the more I agree with Redpath about Laurie. I mean I can't imagine what that would do to your head to have a tragedy like that occure in your life. But she had the whole fuck the world rebellious thing going on and GOD it was annoying. And someone mentioned the kills. Yeah some were good, but the biggest WTF moment for me was in he chokes someone to death. Really?? You grabbed their neck till they stopped moving. Thats....really lame.

I will rent it in 3 months
