Movie Rating

Not as good, but still worth it.

Michael Myers lives, he pursues Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to the hospital. It's up to Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) to stop him.

With this sequel John Carpenter served only as a producer, Rick Rosenthal stepped in to direct.
Halloween II still has good to it. The score is good, the acting is mostly good (especially Curtis and Pleasence), and Michael has plenty of screen time which is definitely a pro.

Unfortunately, Halloween II fails to recapture its predecessors suspenseful tone, there are some pointless deaths, and some death scenes are straight up cheesy, ruining what suspense what the film had.

Overall it's still an entertaining slasher, just not anything more then that.

After three (?) months I've finally finished Gotham High and I have some thoughts.

1) Why the tweak to the death of Bruce's parents?

I mean, the Wayne's deaths are iconic why mess with it?

2) Why the role changes?

Uncle Alfred? What happened to the snarky English butler?

3) BARBIE GORDAN???

I think this explains itself and no, it never said this was just her nickname.

4) it feels like they dropped Alfred's husband in for the sake of look representation. I mean, he's only on a few pages and doesn't do much.

In all, this wasn't like what the trailer led me to think. It's not bad just really, really, really different and I'm not sure how to feel about that.
