I re-watched Halloween 2018 yesterday, and it was pretty good. The good parts are really good, Michael felt like a force and seeing him go home to home killing was really well done. Some of the kills were also great , the strobe light death especially was effective. Also Laurie Stroud being a complete badass and being prepared for Michael was a neat idea and a good direction to take. However , I found the dialogue didn't match the tone of the film. It felt like the writers just watched an MCU film and wanted to add in a bunch of one liners or random jokes that didn't land for me. Also this felt very much like a legacy sequel, similar to The Force Awakens or Jurassic World. There was a bunch of fan service sprinkled throughout the film that took me out of it. This is about in the middle of the franchise for me, a solid reboot.
