7/10
Flawed but enjoyable entry in the franchise

Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers in my opinion the weakest entry of the original franchise (Not Including Rob Zombie's) it is an enjoyable film and I do have fun with it and it's Third Act is incredible and Michael once again kicks ass with some great kills.

The main negatives I have with this entry In the franchise is how they just ignore that great shock ending in Halloween 4 and make Jamie a mute who now as weird connection with Michael and can sense whenever he is near by an interesting idea and one that does play out really well but not what I was expecting at all from this entry after that great ending in 4 this movie would of been so much better if Jamie had the evil.inside of her this time like it hinted in the end of 4. Another negative is the fact that they kill one of the greatest characters in the franchise Rachel she was a great final girl in the last entry and they just kill her in this one like she was nothing but a cameo that's so annoying and they replace her with Tina the most annoying character I've seen in a horror Franchise.

However the third is incredible with the laundry shoot scene being a highlight of this film and the entire franchise and credit to Danielle Harris for doing that scene because it was a real knife that they was stabbing through the laundry shoot so definitely credit to a kid actor at the time doing that stunt.

Donald Pleasance again playing Sam Loomis is just incredible this is a character I can never get bored of watching always entertaining to watch and he is even crazier in this one I love his determination to stop Michael in all of these movies.

The look Michael in this one I'm not a fan of something about the mask in this one just looks weird. I do enjoy the Introduction of the man In black and introducing the Thorn storyline not the best story arc in this franchise and can get a little complicated for Michael Myers but it's very interesting and to be honest really what this franchise needed at this time was different and interesting.

Verdict 7/10 flawed movie and the weakest of the franchise for me but still very enjoyable and watchable
