Saw this yesterday with a few friends and my girlfriend.
It was an alright movie. Not the worst thing I've ever seen put on film, but it just felt kind of unnecessary. They spent a large amount of time making Michael Myers more human, and that was something that I really could have done without. Yes, he's scary as a gigantic, mute, sociopathic killer with a thing for masks. But he was better and scarier as the bogeyman. One plus is that at least Rob Zombie didn't just do it shot-for-shot, and gave us his own take on the whole thing. But the closing shot was just way too music video for me.
On the upside, Malcolm McDowell was pretty good as Dr. Loomis, and it has Udo Kier. You can't go wrong with Udo Kier.
