I will say Halloween 2 is filmed very well & has a similar atmosphere & style to the CLASSIC original but it's too stupid in many parts ridiculous actually!!! The whole story of making Michael lauries brother was RIDICULOUS no need at all & takes away how scary & random the killings was in the first film so makes no sense & was a STUPID idea. They also waited too long to follow the first film 4yrs, so the fact it literally carries on from the same night is Stupid again as you can see they all look different & aged & hair everything again STUPID!!! Also the part where Laurie wants to scream & all of a sudden can't scream loses her voice? until dr.loomis is in the hospital & the door closes & the of course she can scream again RIDICULOUS!!! Those are the bad points but the Good stuff is the excellent creepy atmosphere when using the excellent dark Hospital setting,that always stuck with me from watching it on my double feature video with the original. The cinematography is great & the music is good a more synthesized score as it's 4yrs later in the 80s!!! But yeah there is also alot of good stuff in this sequel, Jamie lee curtis is again really good but like i said had to do some stupid stuff in this & Donald Pleasance is back & basically being the same as usual but good. The hospital setting in very good & that makes the film exciting & scary, the kills are brutal & violent & myers looks very scary in this just like the first film so that is really good. A very good sequel just not Brilliant

The first Halloween was a classic, the ending was pretty effective, and in my opinion, it didn't need a sequel. Think of it, Halloween with that ending, nothing follows, I think that's pretty scary, but as it also goes, success always brings more, so here we have Halloween 2. It's not a bad sequel at all, but it's no where as good as the original. Plus it depends highly on bloody violence, brutal killings, which is okay sometimes, but a huge difference from the bloodless original. This one is more action packed, but not as scary. You do get more jump scares in this one, mostly done with loud music of course. I do like the new remix, John Carpenter did with the score, it sounds more techno, it's a bit stronger sounding than the original. But the movie done have some real questionable things in it, the biggest ones are, why is that hospital so empty?, why is there only one baby moving in a room filled with others in it, and wouldn't those new mothers be also in the hospital, if their babies are and many questions more. Halloween 2 is still a fun, never boring horror fest, fill with some dumb characters doing dumb things. Donald Pleansence and Jamie Lee Curtis returns, and both are still great in their roles, and Michael Myers is still a creepy dude, who has gotten a little more inventive with his killings. All in all, I like this sequel, but I didn't love it, it's still a pretty good movie for what it is, a straight forward bloody slasher film, that doesn't care about its obvious inconsistenci es, I'll still recommend it, no matter what.

The first Halloween is one of the best Horror films of all time, and easily the best film centered around the holiday of Halloween. Halloween II, taking place on the same night, attempts to essentially recreate the magic of the original, but without the focus or sharp execution.Picking up directly after Michael Myers falls out of the window and to "his death", the divisive sequel is in large part the same plot as the 1978 original. Myers is on the loose, seemingly won't die, and is on a killing rampage for no good reason. Interestingly enough, there's even less method to his madness this time around, which is typically where the film fails. There was something about watching Myers go around killing sex-obsessed teenagers, and specifically Laurie Strode's friends, that made the first film so intense and more personal. But with Laurie spending most of the film in a hospital bed, there's a lack of emotional connection.That's not to say Myers doesn't have his frightening moments. In fact, the new ways Myers chooses to kill his victims was pretty creative, and luckily just gruesome enough to send chills up and down your spine (but not too gruesome where you feel like turning the movie off). We still have the first person camera movement and well edited cuts to legitimize the kills and keep a sense of reality to the situation. It's in these moments that I feel the film solidifies itself even if it doesn't nearly have the impact the first did.There is one particular third act twist/reveal that I'm sure ticked off fans of the franchise at the time, and I found it to be quite a reach as well. There's always a way to build mythology without overdoing the reasoning behind Myers' crimes and exploiting them. To me, Halloween II is a worthy horror film, but not nearly satisfying enough as a sequel to feature the main two characters from the original. Why not use Jamie Lee Curtis a little more?6.8/10

Pretty much that this film is enjoyable, the deaths are creative but the story feels a bit off. The story kind of lack from the first like they could of fix it. At least it's better than that piece of crap Halloween III Season Of The Which (that movie is stupid). Overall I like this film.
