It's not a gripe but I was trying to find throughout the movie where Nick Castle popped in, and I think it may be when he gets the mask, but I can't be sure. I'm a bit bummed that it wasn't him for much of it but it's nothing that takes away from the film.
If I saw this without seeing the previous film(s) am I missing out?
I saw a chunk of the original last year, and was not really into it.
But I've been hearing SO much good on this new one.
I think Nick confirmed it was him in the window that Laurie shot.
I think there's enough here for someone who's not interested in the original movie to like. There's enough character stuff to keep it from being completely uninteresting. However, it does bank heavy on the original film. I will say that I really hate this trend of "Where's Waldo?" in movies now where if you don't get the references, you're liable to not have a good time or "fully appreciate the film."

Well, that is a pity because promotion hyped it up as "We got THE guy who played Michael back!" and that shot is only a few seconds long.
I carved pumpkins with some friends and watched the original before we went to see this. I really enjoyed it! I’ll agree that it did humanize Michael and he was less “boogeyman” but still it was good. Definitely better than the Rob Zombie versions.
I stayed to see if there was an end credit scene but as the last credits rolled you just heard Michael breathing under his mask. I hope that doesn’t mean a sequel. But they were showing the knife in the granddaughter’s hand at the end. Was that a “ooo she might lose it and become the new shape?”
