I didn't think it was too bad.

I have to admit I jumped at the ending.

Nice to see Mrs Taylor from Friday Night Lights in this movie.

I didn't think it was anything spectacular but I definitely don't see why so many people are saying it's terrible. I was reading the user reviews on Yahoo and it seemed like over half the people were saying how shitty it was. I thought Jackie Earle Haley did a good job.

I heard it sucked.. May see it sometime, but Iron Man 2 is first on my list..

LOL @ people calling Rob Zombie a horror film genius.

Halloween was decent, but he should have stopped there.. Halloween 2 was TERRIBLE.. Seriously, I regretted watching it. One man single handedly killed Michael Myers, and that mans name was Rob Zombie.

House of 1000 corpses wasn't my cup of tea either.. Devils Rejects was a good movie, but I'd hardly call that a horror movie.

Nightmare was ok, but it dragged between each killing.

Yeah, if you're into watching botched abortions. He takes classics and butchers them. Zombie is a HACK.

Just a different rendition is all. The original H2 is not a classic like the first one.

Maybe, but c'mon...the stupid woman in white with the white horse (in his remake of H2) was nothing more than to get his wife a cameo in the movie. It really had no relevance.

The 1st Halloween remake was passable, but part 2 is one of the worst horror movies I have seen in a while.

I think that can be shown to be part of his psychotic mind and not sure about you but I don't mind looking at Zombies wife. :)

Definitely. The first one was worth watching and the 2nd was just pure garbage.

Just got back from watching this flick, I liked it a lot.

I was happy they went away from "funny Freddy", and back to sick, dimented Freddy.

Props to J.E.H. for a great performance.
