 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here happy halloween to all my subscribers and everyone who plans to Plans to subscribe in the future possibly after watching this video This is gonna be my halloween for the return of Michael Myers review halloween for the return of Michael Myers was released back in 1988 and it was directed by Dwight little stars Donald Pleasant Ellie Cornell and Daniel Harris those are the three I'm going to mention and George P. Wilbur. He plays Michael Myers in this film The movie is set ten years after the first two films because if you recall They wanted to go an anthology route with the rest of the film But that didn't work out with halloween 3 and fans wanted Michael Myers back So that's what led to all of the sequels being about Michael Myers Donald Pleasant has seemingly killed the shape at the end of halloween 2 but fans were not pleased with the Events that occurred in halloween 3 and they did not like this idea So that's when it became apparent that they wanted to make the entire series about Michael Myers This film is set ten years after the original film the first two films We follow now Jamie Jamie Lee Curtis's characters Laurie Strode is no longer present. She's dead in this in this new film She died somewhere in between these ten this ten-year gap She left behind a child named Jamie Lloyd. That's who Daniel Harris portrays Daniel Harris does an amazing job for such as such a Young age for a child actors in this film She gives a very believable performance her manualisms are also very well done There's everything she perfectly embodies of a nine-year-old girl or I think she's eight-year-old and eight years old in this film Her character is anyway, but yes, Daniel Harris She really did an amazing job carrying this film and so did Ellie Cornell who played Rachel who I would like to say is Everyone else's favorite final girl outside of Jamie and Laurie Donald Pleasants again back is dr. Loomis. He survived the fire as well from halloween to Michael Myers He looks a bit older of course because it's his ten years later in real time as well Or almost close to ten years later in real time as far as like the real the real-life time period That's passed away since the second film He gives another amazing performance He's a little bit more his dialogue in this is a little bit more intense and I like the how I like how they try to recreate that that that Chemistry he had with Sheriff Brackett from the original film They try to recreate that was Sheriff meeker the new sheriff in town in this film. I like that aspect of the movie I think that George P. Wilbur while I did not like the Michael Myers design of the mask I did not like the mask. I don't know why it is so hard to keep a consistent mask Like just pattern it after the original. I don't know why that's so hard It seems like that's a challenge for so many because the mask changes so much as the sequels go on I don't know what is so hard about keeping a consistent lookalike mask ready to go in case you decide to do another film And it's not even the fact that the masks are all bad It's just the fact that they they look they look nothing like what we got in the original movie And it's just why can't we have a consistent mass? That's just something that always bothered me The director of the movie like I said was Dwight H. Little I think he did a fine job The cinematography in the movie is is fine the score like the re the revamp of John Carpenter's classic theme I think that was okay. I don't think it I don't think it comes It's even coming close to the original But like the revamps that we get in the future sequels involving the theme song I think they are amazing not amazing, but they're solid and they they do it They don't do it justice, but they're acceptable as far as what you would expect as close you could get to John Carpenter's original classic theme Anyway Michael Myers awakens and he's trying to kill his niece Jamie Lloyd He has been in a coma for 10 years and for some unexplained reason This is the movie that also clearly indicates that there's something supernatural going on here Because he just awakens after hearing that one of his relatives is alive or that he has a relative nearby That's living in Hatterfield. He just awakens from his coma. So that raises a question to me as an audience member Well, if someone had been in the room mentioning this before would he have a would he have awakened them? Why is he been? I just it's just Just little things like that like little things like that bother me because it's just showing like a like carelessness to certain details that filmmakers take when they approach films Uh, I think that everyone did an amazing job as far as acting is concerned Like I said before I did not like Michael Myers mask in the movie But everything else as far as the cinematography and the soundtrack and the acting I think everyone did a solid job What I will say is that the kills in this movie I think are some of the best Michael Myers kills in the entire franchise Uh, they're not very gory, but they are gruesome in ways like just very unique kills That's my opinion. I thought that some of these kills are very unique and original never seen certain things like this before Although some of them are a bit unrealistic It was still cool to see on screen. So that's something I appreciate um The dynamic as far as like Michael Myers hunting hunting down and killing his niece I think that could have been done a bit better because I always found it odd how Jamie exactly knew what Michael Myers looked like Like how did I don't understand how I mean As far as like I don't think her her mother would have been going around telling her about What her uncle did? I don't think that's something she would have been knowledgeable of I would have expected that jamie lee curse's character. Lloyd stroll would have possibly hidden that from uh, her daughter So I'm always curious as to how jamie Lloyd Became so well versed in the nature of her uncle besides of course living in Haddonfield and Hearing it from neighbors and people in town, of course, that's all I can think of The film itself as far as like what I would give it on a scale of one to ten I give halloween for a solid Six and a half because the ending of this film is another thing that bothers me at the very end of the film That's wherever you get like a solid con concrete confirmation There's something supernatural is going on here Because we see Michael Myers not because if you call in the original film he takes six shots In this movie, he's taking more than six shots from numerous different people at different angles And he not only he not only Takes them all in but he he survives and you know what happens at the beginning of halloween five I just thought that was a bit ridiculous and then on top of that the ending where In the end of the film jamie Lloyd She touches his hand and then for some strange reason this leads to an unexplained psychic link between Them that gets further explored in halloween five. That's something I will get into in my halloween five review I just feel like halloween four although it was a decent sequel It had a lot of problems as far as continuity goals and staying true to the original and it's just It's just like little things like this like taking small premises that John Carpenter gave us And then so many different people start to get involved and they start wanting to do their own thing And they just want to give their own spin on it and then they started making ridiculous Ridiculous plot devices that don't end up being fully fleshed out They don't make a lot of sense in the end and you'll see what i'm talking about as I progress with my reviews when I get into halloween five and halloween six Let me know what you guys thought about halloween four the return of michael myers down in the comment section below Oh also and another thing I want to mention the girl Uh the girl in the film the when they get ready to show Almost like they the little tease they give you I appreciate the fact that they they tease the audience the right way And there's no real need to actually Block anything out because they don't really show anything but it was a nice little tease that they gave the audience That's just my opinion But let me know what you guys thought about halloween four down in the comment section below if you enjoyed the review Give this video a thumbs up if you haven't already subscribed but turn on post notifications So you never miss a video in the description I'll have links to all my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there to let me know what movies you'd like me to review in the future With all that in mind guys, I'll see you in the next video
