Okay, so there is far, far too much going on in this movie. The hospital stuff is so fucking stupid it borders on parody, and too many characters turn up purely to serve no purpose at all. Laurie and her family feel like secondary characters without there being a clear protagonist to replace them, other that the terminally useless Tommy. The kills have all been decent, although some just felt mean-spirited and far crueller than Michael's usual M.O.
Also, I'm getting increasingly annoyed at 2 and H2O being retconned out of existence as they're needed at this point to justify the hysteria of Laurie and the townspeople. He killed three (four if you count the random trucker) people FORTY YEARS AGO and has been in prison ever since. Justice has been served and they've no reason to think of him as this evil, unstoppable monster that's casting a shadow over Haddonfield; especially since it's made clear that younger generations haven't even heard of him. None of them know the events of this film and the last have transpired before the 'evil dies tonight' movement starts so it all just feels like an overreaction. Frankly, the additional victims from the original sequel and Hillcrest Academy are necessary to give Michael a significant enough body count to justify his bogeyman status. By the time the 2018 film started he'd killed less people than Warren Fox from Hollyoaks, for fuck's sake.
