The 2018 Halloween movie was a great story about trauma, taking Strode through redemption as she grappled with the trauma of being hunted by a madman serial killer and having all of her friends brutally murdered. But this 2021 movie fails to be about anything other than Myers killing people yet again. One of the things that makes this movie boring - and the opposite of what made the original so great - is the lack of suspense. The people who wants to kill Myers have no plan to kill him, they just like sitting ducks to him. If you want to enjoy brutal violence might find this movie enjoyable because it does have some great kills, but most of them are gratuitous at best and reminiscent of the Rob Zombie "Halloween" movies.
