What I did mind was when people would do the dumbest things they could. There's some dumb comedy and weird character bits, and I actually didn't mind it for the most part because it gave a level of realism to their world. However, the other characters are still required to do lots of stupid stuff. Here, Laurie has completely Home Alone'd her house to prepare for Michael, so the final confrontation is satisfying because she knows what to do and she's prepared for it. In the second one, we got to see what happens when soldiers face off against the Aliens. In the first one, it was people totally unprepared. I'd kind of compare it to the Aliens films. The film is at it's best when it's Laurie's story. At first I felt the same way about it that I did about everyone else's reaction to Michael, but really she was at ground zero to Michael's rampage, and just looking to real life people have gotten messed up from far less so it's actually believable she'd become this reclusive person prepping for his return. Laurie's trauma I understand and actually kind of like.

We as the audience understand Michael Myers as a force of nature, but the characters in the movie shouldn't, but they still treat him that way. But the problem with ignoring everything is that Michael Myers goes from a force with 100s of kills to 5. I hold know ill will towards ignoring Resurrection, and it'd be pretty weird if they acknowledged the Thorn trilogy and all that. I have a few problems with it, mostly involving the 40-year gap and ignoring the previous films. As an attempt to reinvigorate the Halloween franchise, the film mostly works.
