There’s a reason this film has been in my top 5 since I first saw it when I was 7.
Almost 70 years later, this still blows me away and holds up amazingly well, and no amount of birthdays takes away from the spectacle, excitement, and experience watching this brings. If you can catch it on the big screen, it will be an unforgettable event!
Regardless of your beliefs, this film is a timeless masterpiece, and the vision and intelligence of a 75-year old director is nothing short of legend.
Watched it for the first time at home. I stand by my criticism of the absence of a fall feeling, but wow…what a conclusion!
This is easily the most cerebral sequel to the original. It plants a theme on this new timeline and grounds it immensely. The theme of Michael being a shape of evil coincides directly with Corey’s story—an innocent kid who falls victim to an insatiable evil force inside of him. There are so many conversations and talking…
Sure I may be outside this movie’s demographic, but I found it to be bland and unfunny. The music was quite jarring too, because moments when you were supposed to “feel” the most, pop music would blare over the dialogue and ruin any moment. For me, I didn’t feel anything for anyone in this movie. The underage teen sex stuff was disgusting and it felt violating to be shown to an audience of any age.
There’s a reason why this movie is my favorite film of all time...actually, many reasons.
Most of the effects are still awe-inspiring over 40 years later and STILL hold up very well, and the casting is perfect. There’s something here for everyone of all ages. There’s comedy, adult drama, fun action, great special effects, and an amazing score that you’ll be humming for days. How John Williams was passed over for an Oscar for this score is beyond me.
