Both are widely considered to worst of the franchise(aside from 3,5 & 6).But which one do you like more and why?
I loather RZH2 I think it's a terrible mix match of ideas from other Halloween films & Horror films in general with a hard on the eyes visual pallet.
I adore H:R I think it's unique,different & dare I say clever.

RZH2 director's cut is my favorite Halloween movie next to the original. all the other sequels are pretty much disposable, except for H20, I guess. At least H2 didn't just rehash the look and formula of the original Halloween, it dared to be different in every way.
shareRZ H2.

I love Rob Zombie's Halloween II and consider it it one of the best of the series. I'm going to have to go with it.
shareAs far as Halloween sequels go, whether I liked that particular sequel as a whole or not, I always found each film to have a good memorable part or idea or 5.
Halloween: Resurrection good(s): The opening with the flashbacks of the events in H20 leading up to Michael's first and final battle with his sister.
Cons: Post-Strode demise, Resurrection quickly gets tiresome, with uninteresting characters, who serve nothing to the Myer's family timeline.
Rob Zombie's Halloween: 2 good(s): The opening with Laurie fearfully roaming the empty streets of Haddonfield, then being found and taken to the emergency room for her injuries. The hospital nightmare sequence was brutal, and suspenseful. The highlight for me personally, is Annie's death. Extremely emotionally brutal, and heartbreaking when Laurie and later on her father find her.
Cons: Wasn't a fan of the White Horse or the hallucinations. Loomis was an over the top careless cash-grabbing prick, and seemed like he was just there most of the film. The kills felt pointless mostly, the kills were mostly just extras being brutally gutted who had no connection with the main characters.
Between the two lowest ones in the series for me, I'd have to go with Rob Zombie's H2 (Director's cut) as the better one.
Don't you know history repeats itself? Hmm Sid?- Scream 2
Agree with your pro/cons on H2. I'd like to add one more, though;
Lourie's non-stop shrieking and hollering was annoying the ever living *beep* out of me to the point where it was taking me out of the movie at times.
I think I understand why RZ was having her do this, and emphasized it in his editing of the film, he wanted to introduce us (reintroduce?) to Scout Taylor Compton as the new scream queen of this generation maybe?
I don't know. It pissed me off more than the hallucinations and white horse, and his stupid annoying wife, whom he loves to shove down our fücking throats.
I liked her as Baby in House of 1000 Corpses & Rejects, but I'm sick of her now. I'll still watch everything he makes because I'm a fan of his since his White Zombie days, but I wish he'd give it rest with putting his chick (all done up in corpse paint for some reason) in everything he does.
Both movies are 0/10 and absolute garbage so it's just a matter of which disaster you'd rather sit through. Honestly, as godawful as HR is, I'd probably rather watch that piece of s--- over RZH2. RZH2 is just so freaking terrible on every single level..... barf.

That's not even a contest. HR is a steaming pile of *beep*, devoid of any meaning (other than the JLC opening, which totally does not do justice to the Laurie character). RZH2 is full body above HR. Zombie made it his own and actually had a story to tell and didn't just bump off a cast of character's we didn't care about, who had the misfortune of spending their last nightmin the Myers house.
shareStill resurrection looks better in comparison.
shareNo. It does not.
shareIt does to me
shareMe too. Resurrection was actually a Halloween film. Halloween II was a Rob Zombie film with Michael in it. Huge difference. Michael doesn't dress like a hobo, half torn mask, speak, growl or act uber-violently.
Resurrection had the house, which II did not, a good score, a complete good mask, a much better cast that weren't the director's friends or wife, even though the cast was a little on the weak side, considering. Had the stuff in the house been real, Resurrection would've been much better. Halloween II was the furthest thing from a Halloween film anyone's ever seen and not in a good way, hence why it's taking so long to make another one. Gotta get it right.
