My initial rating here is a 7. That be more for nostalgia than the actual film. I truly enjoyed the first hour plus but then, man, I don't know what went wrong. I love Michael Myers. I can sit and watch any & all of the films with enjoyment. They're certainly not all good and some, are truly bad. (I'm looking at you Halloween 6). This one left me feeling hollow, almost empty. I love Halloween (2018). I know it has its detractors but I really think it's the best sequel of the bunch by a mile. The ending was perfect. I had no idea how Michael was going to survive but knew he would. This one, I don't know how you justify his survival here. Shot, stabbed, beaten with bats, stabbed again, beaten again, shot again. Somehow he keeps getting up? He's able to get back into the house and kill Karen? The ending, really the last 20 or so minutes, were not good. I feel as though the filmmakers really ruined what had been a great retcon. I can't see where they go from here. If we get the cult bs or 'he's more than a human' garbage that we got in Halloween 6, I will be utterly disappointed and truly ticked off.
