I really didn't like a) that they even did this remake, and b) what they did with it. I don't really even want to have Michael Myers' childhood (apart from the murdering) elaborated on, in the first place, but if they were gonna do it, the last fucking thing they should have done was make him Mr. Abused Boy from the Broken Home. I don't want to see Michael Myers as a product of his fucking environment; Michael Myers is a cold, inhuman, killer - that's it. You don't feel sorry for him, you run the fuck away from him, and then he kills you because he feels like it, and he can. Not because he didn't get enough hugs and his stepdaddy yelled at him. Bullshit. Luckily, like most remakes, it's totally non-canonical, and I can go on enjoying the real Halloween, sans PC nonsense about what makes a killer. (That being said - and I'm gonna sound even wackier, here - I enjoyed the movie. *snort* I just have real problems with the philosophy behind it, and I don't respect it as part of the Halloween franchise, but if it had another title and another killer, I would have enjoyed it on its own merits. The kid who played little Michael was awesome, the early murders were super brutal, the scares in the second half were well done, and it did a good job of super-overstimulating the audience, I thought. And Malcolm McDowell is automatically awesome; great replacement for Pleasence. Go figure.)
