Nothing too major, but may be some SPOILERS ahead......
I didn't hate it, but yes, it was very disappointing. The first hour I was bored out of my mind. Putting the focus on how screwed up his family was wasn't smart in my opinion. All subtlety and mystery flew right out the window. I felt absolutely nothing for Laurie, in fact, she was so aggravating I was hoping he would just put her out of MY misery....:rolleyes: He was too big. In fact, one of the scenes lifted directly from the original didn't even make sense because of his size. I might have enjoyed it a bit better had it not been a remake of Halloween. Zombie made a mistake deciding to remake this film. His style thus far, which worked well in one of his films, has been anything but subtle. And because of that, he basically turned Michael into a garden variety psychopath. He seemed to up the body count, hoping to make up for the fact that he just couldn't build any suspense. A huge disappointment. But I still respect Zombie, and I think he is still a decent horror director, and has great potential. He just took on too much here, I think.
