<p dir="auto">yeah there's a some bad acting with those teenagers. it still feels like a JAWS movie because of Roy Scheider being in it<br />
Replacing two legendary actors like Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss with a bunch of idiot, screaming teenagers in sailboats really drove it down for me regardless of Roy Scheider.</p>

<p dir="auto">Halloween just like Jaws is best when viewed as a standalone movie. Jamie Lee isn't the sister, there is no curse, Michael isn't some abused kid, the whole thing is left with a huge air of mystery. Also he doesn't just immediately walk up to someone and start stabbing. He watches, he waits, inhumanly patient.</p>

<p dir="auto">Disagree with that last part. 4-6 bringing in Jamie and more Loomis/Pleasence was a good move. Flawed as they were, it expanded the mythos. Hell, even Scream H20<br />
brought back JLC. Now the remake was decent, but's sequel was off the charts nothing like any Halloween before or since. Hence the delay of the next one.<br />
But each of the previous films from 4-8 added something and didn't just take away from the series.<br />

<p dir="auto">Halloween has a great unambiguous ending. Carpenter really likes not explaining things too much and open endings where you decide what happened next. He's mentioned that too many films explain everything never leave anything up to the audience. It's like Stanley Kubrick. So I really love Halloween's ending, but that also doesn't mean you can't love Halloween II.<br />
Yes, as Halloween wasn't made with the intention of a sequel. With Halloween II, you have a terrific continuation of the original story written by the same writer as the original (obviously John Carpenter.)<br />
Why wouldn't Michael not want to finish off a victim that got away? That is thru and thru whatever the hell is controlling Michael personality.<br />
The other Michael Myers Halloween films should not be considered when watching Halloween and Halloween II.</p>
