They were both equally mediocre, but in different ways
None of the adults behave like adults, so it doesn't really make a difference that the characters are adults on paper. Almost every character just marches straight into their death. Multiple scenes of Myers slaughtering groups of people, because normal people are apparently way too stupid to coordinate with each other in the slightest. Firemen taking turns swinging at Michael like henchman waiting their turn to swing at Bruce Lee lol
A script is many things, it includes a story, but also dialogue and individual scenes which describe specific character actions. The story may be tighter, but the dialogue is pretty bad in many parts of this movie
I didn't think Laurie was particularly likeable in this. I mean, she barely had any screentime and was almost totally irrelevant. I guess it's easier to be likeable when your character is not actually an active part of the story
Meh. Tommy was a bad character in this. The character in this movie was Tommy Doyle because the script said it was Tommy Doyle. But this character could have easily been anybody else since his experiences in the first film didn't play a huge role in the film. We just have an angry guy fully ready to incite and engage in mob violence. His character was mostly a plot device to facilitate the story that they were trying to tell: the story of Haddonfield's residents recklessly banding together to fight back against the boogeyman. They didn't NEED Tommy Doyle to serve this role, but they wanted to bring back characters from the original to gain fan interest. It brings back lots of familiar faces just to add nothing to their characters. None of them moved on from Haddonfield in 40 years, apparently
I know that your opinion is your opinion, I'm not trying to change your mind. I did not like Halloween 2018, but this movie only did one thing better and that is the scenes of violence. Everything else was like Halloween 2018 but just a tad bit stupiderr
