Saw it last night
I liked the atmosphere of some of the kills and scenes, the scene where the son and father find the bus and the motion lights scene.
Some of the deaths seemed sorta worthless. I liked seeing Mike on a rampage but the twist with the doctor only for Michael to just kill him easily a few minutes later was just
Also the killing of the podcasters. I know they just existed to set the story but were also just there.
A lot of the daughter’s story was rushed along with the kid. There wasn’t a lot of time to breathe in the story.
Was really hoping the boyfriend was gonna die but him and the sheriff with the hat just disappeared from the movie
The exchange between Jamie Lee Curtis and the cop about praying for Michael to come back
Anyone else think the daughter’s husband looked way too old? Plus dude was an idiot. Why did JLC show them the basement and telling them not to leave only for 5 mins later to see dude yo-yoing and walking outside to get killed

im talking about what Danny McBride said
I was pushing for that removal right off the bat,” McBride said. “I just felt like that was an area where he wasn’t quite as scary anymore, it seemed too personalized. I wasn’t as afraid of Michael Myers anymore because I’m not his fukking brother so he’s not coming after me. Also you’ve seen it, so wouldn’t it be interesting just to see what would happen if it wasn’t that, and what does that open up for us if it wasn’t this random killing that has affected this character, so it just seemed like new territory to bite off.”
We’ll discuss once you see it but I feel like they didn’t pull this off to me
Yeah you are right and go into some of the stupid horror stuff this movie does , Also there was not enough of the family relationship or it wasn’t handled right to meSaw it last night

I like this explanation. OK, that makes me more sense now. Although now that I think about it, it seems far-fetched to try and trap him like that. But it made for great drama.
Someone in my theater was like "Aww there ya go" when Michael got finished with the hammer and picked up the knife for the first time.
LOL.
Didn’t she have a metal gate actually in front of that door though
in the beginning. I gotta watch it again. Damn you making me think of more issues I have with the movie

You notice how little Cory Baxter got out of there with the quickness? 
Smartest decision in the film was made by an 8 year old.

At some point one would ask how old is Michael Meyers? I mean he has to be in his 50's, is he going to slow down a bit?

Seeing this tonight
I saw it last night and I really enjoyed it. Sure it had its flaws but nothing that was so egregious that it took away from the entertainment value of the movie.
But on this point in particular I have some thoughts:
I understood Green and McBride’s desire to retcon the sibling connection between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers and I was all for it but the execution of it created a clunkiness that hurt the film a bit. By making Laurie just the random victim who got away the movie then was faced with not only coming up with ways to bring Michael and Laurie together again but also to sweep up Laurie’s family into the mix as well. This change created a bit of a logistical nightmare for the movie in my eyes and none of the reactions with the police after Michael escaped and started hacking up the good people of Haddonfield made any sense.
If Laurie wasn't a target or Michael's then there was no real reason for the entire police force to go into overdrive protecting her family or even moving her daughter/husband from their home. They could have just put a cop outside their house as a precaution because as far as Michael was concerned they would have just been any other family in that town and none of the other families were being given special attention.
Even the way they eventually got the granddaughter into the mix was a bot of a mess too. I was expecting them to just have all of the teens end up at the one house where the blond girl was babysitting and for that to be how Michael and Laurie's family got re-connected because that house just happened to be on the block (the kid's parents were the black couple in the doctor and sexy nurse outfits if I am remembering correctly that Michael watched as they got into their car) that Michael was making his way through by happenstance. That would have been a much more organic way to do things than what they ended up with.
But the way the movie presented everything they might have well have kept the sibling connection since the end result was basically the same as it would have been if they had.
