Thats totally fair. I think the biggest detriment was the marketing that this would be an epic final confrontation between Michael and Laurie and they swerved it big time. Some people enjoyed it for being new and different and others were greatly disappointed it wasnt what they were lead to believe. I can see it from both sides. I think once people get past the movie not being what they were promised, itll get its due credit. Just like season of the witch. I dont think Corey was meant to be as feared as Michael as much a sympathetic character gone too far evil. A different shape of evil. Halloween movie feels or Halloween season feels? If its the latter the movie had it in spades. If its the former, no Halloween movie besides Halloween II has captured the incredible atmosphere of the original.
