The 2018 movie felt more SJW than Kills. The way they handled characters like the doofus dad whose family doesn't seem to care about him at all, or the friendzoned guy who gets treated like a bad guy because he confessed his love for the protagonist, were just insufferable, even more than most slasher movie characters. The new movie doesn't do that as much. I don't get why some people are saying the new one isn't good. It's stupid, but entertaining enough. It's also Halloween 12, so I expect it to be stupid. People acted like the last one wasn't, but it was. This one just embraces it. There are things I would have done differently, but it's far from the worst in the series.

It depends what you're looking for. I would say they're all enjoyable, except maybe Resurrection (8) which has a cool opening but then immediately turns to shit, but boring shit. Curse (6) is so bad it's great, like The Room. Revenge (5) is kind of boring, just for being perhaps the most generic. 2 and 4 I'd say are both pretty good. 2 has the advantage of being a direct sequel to the original and feeling the most connected, and 4 does a decent job at trying to continue things, and the angle of the kid protagonist works, with her also being one of the better parts of 5, despite how they didn't follow through with the obviously intended story.
H20 kind of sucks and I think people only liked it because of marketing acting like the previous sequels weren't good when they were. It was a Scream knockoff and not a particularly good one. Critics liked it because it was a feminist power fantasy. Laurie could have been a good protagonist but they made her OP, and the inability to give her real flaws, because feminism, makes her not nearly as interesting as Loomis was in the previous movies. Hell, it doesn't even make her as interesting as Jamie or Paul Rudd's characters in the previous movies. LL Cool J was pretty cool in that though. He's the best part of any movie he's in. Deep Blue Sea was awesome.
Both Rob Zombie movies are cool and I don't get why people wouldn't think so. Everyone is unlikable, but most characters are unlikable in any slasher movies, including the rest of this series. At least here it's on purpose. I don't think the angle with Loomis sort of being corrupt or whatever is explored as much as it should have been, but it is an interesting angle that makes sense given how he was clearly never a good doctor in the original movies anyway.
2018 is nice because despite removing all the sequels from canon it seems to have references to all of them, as if they're taking ideas from them and trying to do better versions of them, primarily Laurie dealing with the long term trauma of her experiences. It does this way better than H20 and essentially makes that movie obsolete.
The angle with the doctor being evil also seems to evoke either a remake of concepts from Curse of Michael Myers, or a sequel that actually followed its ending. Either way, it's actually well done here and not just for the comedy of it being so ridiculously retarded. The characters are more unlikable than usual with tinges of SJW crap, but still less than H20. It's a better version of H20.
Halloween Kills (the 12th damn movie) removes all the pretenses of realism that the previous movie had, despite that seemingly being the purpose of that movie being a direct sequel to the original. Now it's fucking retarded, but fine, I watched 11 more of these movies and I'm used to the series being retarded. Jamie Lee Curtis promised it would be SJW shit, but it was much less so than the previous movie. She just became crazy after she threw away her career by becoming a shill for diarrhea yogurt. She also isn't even quite the main character anymore, but they use her effectively enough. My main problem with the movie is that it has too many (important) characters and ideas and doesn't use them all effectively enough. It tries to bring back practically every character from the original movie, but then doesn't have time to use them all effectively. It should have cut some of them or saved them for sequels and used the main ones effectively. The main character being Tommy Doyle, the kid from the first movie, previously played as a grown up protagonist by Paul Rudd in Halloween 6: The Retarded One. This movie isn't as retarded as 6, but it's pretty damn retarded, and would have benefitted greatly from casting Paul Rudd again and embracing it. I don't even like the guy, and Anthony Michael Hall does a fine job, but if the movie is gonna be fucking retarded, and have the same protagonist as the last time the series got this fucking retarded (well not counting 8, the only one I'd say is legitimately not worth watching all the way through), then it would have been fun to see the same guy come back as the character, even if it was a different timeline. This movie and its predecessor are both full of references to things that happened in the other timeline anyway.
This movie basically tries to redo the angry mob action from 4, as well as a few other things from some of the other movies. Don't know if I'd say it's better than 4 though.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, is great, but not even really part of the same series. But yeah check it out. Not a slasher movie, kind of feels a bit more old school. Good stuff though.
All that said, watch the first four and if you don't like 2 or 4 don't bother because it doesn't get better. Unless you like Rob Zombie. Then his movies are pretty cool.
