Halloween (2018)

Masterful

My Two Sen

Long long review for whaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Got people read one meh??!!??

Okay lah okay lah!!

Most of you will know, John Carpenter directed Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) which were well received.

Well, it spurred on the "slasher" films (Friday the 13th Anyone?)

And then Rob Zombie (Yes, THAT Rob Zombie) rebooted the franchise Halloween (2007) & Halloween II (2009) and for the life of me, I am vague on whether I actually watched those....

I was not motivated to watch this latest iteration, frankly, because

1). I am slasher film fatigue

2). I was disappointed that Sony did not treat us to THE short 3D remastered version of Michael Jackson's Thriller in front of this (Sony, WHAT THE HEY!!! When are we going to get to SEE that!!!)

Okay, so what happened. The critics.... like this movie. And then VERY cynically friends who are cynical to movies, watched and praised this movie!!

Paint me intrigued.

I went.

I saw.

I like!!!

From the first frame to the last.

Do note that this only acknowledges the original John Carpenter's movies and nothing else, so don't get confused.

Michael is TRULY deranged.

And it is.... infectious??

I will stop there.

Plunk down your money and go see this.

You know you want to.

My Additional Two Sen.

Wow, really flattered...

See!

I told everyone "masterful", which should indicate it is THAT good. But NOooooooo, must long long review....

As for your question, I have two schools of thought, namely

Erm... You may want to spoiler that...

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

Oh gosh, I did a movie marathon today, and am kinds exhausted, and I still want to complete this review.

SO if my spelling is out, or I don't make sense in general, go gently on me....

This movie is one of Warner's big gun for the year, and it is...

I am getting ahead of myself.

Watching Part 1 & 2 of this is a little weird.

WHy?

WIth the Harry Potters, I had read the book before I watched the movies, so I knew the story.
Whereas these, I really wasn't sure what to expect.

So did I go in with High Expectations?

You bet your bottom dollar.

Jude Law

Johnny Depp

And surprisingly, a very sedated Ezra Miller??!?

So Newt (Eddie Redmayne) adventure, continues.

The main gang from the first movies rerturn.

Some HUGE plot holes form the first movie is being patched here.

Leta Lestrange (Zoë Kravitz ) is in this. In some way, this movie "is" about her.

Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is explained. Also surprising the reason why Dumbledore did not go after  Grindelwald much earlier on.

Nagini get a back story here.

Even Fawkes makes an appearance.

So what do I think of the movie?

A little bit of a mess.

In patching the plot holes of the first movie, this movie dug new ones for itself?

Why?

Because some of the ideas introduced here, contradicts the Harry Potter movies....

So, did my "perfection complex" stopped me from enjoying this movie?

Maybe it did.

My Two Sen....

P.S. Just found out there are going to be 5 of these (movies) What The *beep*
